I’m not going to retract what I said for the following reason. Many people think Trump is the messiah. Many people treat Trump as if he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. People are absolutely delusional about what’s going on with the man and who he is. When you post a photo of somebody that at first glance looks like Jesus Christ and then you have that person getting ready to have sex with someone and you label the first person Trump and the other person Twitter, you very clearly are mocking the mega crowd by having their Messiah figure about to have sex with twitter. The most amazing thing I see among freepers is that you guys don’t realize how much you have a Messiah complex about Donald trump. This is absolutely astounding how people on this website and others have worshiped Donald John Trump almost as if he is the next Antichrist. The love for Trump is as embarrassing as the love for Obama. I’m not going to apologize because the image in my explanation go right hand in hand. I’ve seen an image very much like that and it was Jesus so if this is actually a monk well sorry about that but it’s not a monk that they worship as their messiah, it’s Trump and to have him do it on an image like that, the owner of the website, and then you others try and claim you’ve seem worse on free republic? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that have free republic and I’ve been here for over 20 years.
That picture and that guy does not look like Jesus. He looks like a monk. Be glad it isn’t a guy where the prostitute is.
You are making much more of this than necessary. Way too much. Ignoring it is they way to go.
How do you know what Jesus looks like?
you have that person getting ready to have sex
What preparations was the person making prior to having sex?
you very clearly are mocking the mega crowd
What is a "mega crowd"?
I’ve seen an image very much like that and it was Jesus so if this is actually a monk
Monk rhymes with drunk and I think that's you, boo.
You are imposing your perceptions on Musk and claiming to be a mind reader if you impute those motivations to him.
I happen to agree with you about those who seem to worship Trump, depictions of Trump as Jesus (or Emperor or God), etc. It is disturbing and distasteful, sometimes even blasphemous. And such depictions mainly emanate from the Q crowd. So consider the source.
The meme Musk posted is what it is: a joke depicting Trump trying to resist Twitter.
The bearded figure is clearly a monk. He is wearing a monk’s robe with knotted cord. Not every guy with a beard wearing a long dress is Jesus. Jesus has never been depicted wearing a monk’s robe with knotted cord as far as I know. Why would anyone depict him as a Medieval monk?
To your mind, the image and your explanation go hand in hand because you are viewing it through the lens of your current (and understandable) outrage at Trump worshippers elevating Trump to Messiah. Reread your post and see how full of outrage it is, how disjointed. We all get so outraged we can scarcely think straight. And I don’t blame for it at all. But that does not mean your interpretation of the meme is correct, either.
As you yourself said, it’s not a monk they worship as their Messiah. And that is very clearly a monk in that illustration. Musk was not mocking Trump worshippers, he was teasing Trump about being tempted to return to Twitter, plain and simple.
Just because you thought the figure was Jesus “at first glance” does not mean it is Jesus or even that it was meant to evoke Jesus in people’s minds. Most of us can tell Jesus from a monk, and know what a monk’s robes look like, especially with the knotted cord making it quite clear.
Yes, as far as “porn factor” goes, I have seen far worse on FR. Check out some of the threads where “eye bleach” is called for and supplied. You’ll find women wearing next to nothing and showing off their assets in very provocative poses. I’ve not seen monks resisting their charms included, though.
“I’m not going to retract what I said for the following reason….”
Everyone makes mistakes - but now you are willfully twisting the truth to try and justify your mistake - that is just pathetic.
“Many people think Trump is the messiah. Many people treat Trump as if he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ himself.”
Find me one person who thinks Trump is the messiah. You can’t, because NOBODY thinks that.
