By modern contexts Christ was a leader in a workers rebellion against colonial rule, who imbued it with a spiritual angle so profound that it very arguably destroyed or completely reformed the colonizer centuries after his execution.
And FOSS is overtly a leftist paradigm and way of thinking.
Yeah Jesus would have probably digged FOSS but what the heyo is this meme setup. You're just trolling with this.
Eh.... Tbh Jesus wasn't much of a political revolutionary, more of a cultural one. He did condemn the tyranny of gentiles, but also urged his followers to pay their taxes to rome and to obey their demands. Saying if a Roman asks you to carry something one mile, carry it for two instead.
It seems like he was just trying to keep under the Roman radar and worked more to change the culture of local Jewish communities.
Probably wouldn't really care about technology very much unless it was being used to feed the poor. He'd probably be horrified how far we have progressed with technology, but are still failing to provide basic care for the needy.
This sounds like malicious compliance. What boss is happy if you put something down a mile from where they asked you to put it? That's a discussion in a 1:1 at least.
I think it was more of a metaphor of getting them to subvert roman expectations. Romans thought of the Jewish people as very stubborn and independent, so when forcing them to do manual labor they would usually expect it to lead to confrontation.
Yeah I'm kind of joking-not-joking. I get that it's about going above and beyond to prove something, but it's still a silly example.
It was more of a "prove how strong you are even though they think you are weak, but do it in subversive and unexpected ways" thing, but I am jumbling five different religious traditions including one pagan together so take it with a grain of salt
