this should've been made by someone who has seen a diagram before

I just want to know who put anonymity bars over the sunglasses!

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 39 points 4 days ago

Yeah. Maybe just don't use pictures of kids AT ALL.

The mistake that everyone keeps making is assuming that when they say "traditional family" they mean the "husband, wife, and 2.5 kids" nuclear family. That's not what they want. They are looking at an older tradition. They want slaves and concubines back.

They want slaves and concubines back.

IE an actual traditional family, as very well defined in the Old Testament / Tanakh.

When you get to the New Testament, you end up with the uberconservative push for making divorce illegal citing Jesus himself.

Matthew 19:3-9

3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one 's wife for any cause?"

4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

7 They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"

8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

Notice how the presumption here is that only a man can divorce his wife, not the other way around.

The rule of Moses as understood by the Pharisee is that a man can serve a woman divorce papers, and that's that.

What they can all agree on is women are second class citizens and should be subordinate to men.

Paul is quite famous for not permitting women to speak:

1 Corinthians 14:34

the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.

9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.

After my mom divorced my dad, we moved in with her parents because we had no money. The condition was that we had to start going to their extreme, King James Bible is the literal word of god, church. They preached this lesson a lot and it really messed my mom up. Luckily around the time I was 12, and already an atheist, we stopped going.

Small edit: since elon is an immigrant-hating immigrant, you should probably refer to the kids as "anchor babies"

The other guy in the oval office cheated on all three of his wives, and paid off at least one of his mistresses in an attempt to keep her quiet, so...

The way his daughter speaks of him makes me think he’s a psychopath. He is emotionless and dead inside, he’s a broken human.

I suddenly realize the reasons why a whole tsar family was killed.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I know why they did it, because it was the only way to ensure that the tsar dynasty wasn't reinstalled... But killing innocent kids will never sit right with me.

I chuckle every time I am reminded that he named one of his kids Sideræl. In norwegian that would be a slang for Side-junk or side-slop.

Side = side
Ræl = "junk," "trash," "rubbish," or "worthless stuff." It is an informal, somewhat dismissive term used to describe things that are of low quality, broken, or generally useless.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it was supposed to be Sidereal, which refers to astronomical measurements based on stars rather than the sun. But he couldn't even spell it right.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago (10 children)

Elon can consider himself proper American now that he thinks Æ can be used as substitute for A, E, or a combination of the two. Same as you sometimes see shitheads use Ø instead of O.

To those of us who use those letters daily, it's just jarring, as it's a completely different letter with a different sound. It would be like writing Karspleesh and expect the spelling to carry the same pronunciation.

What kind of mother lets him set those names? Even without knowing who the father is they are going to get bullied at school...

It's weird how one can be such an incel yet also a philanderer, but then again, the fact that some are employees suggests a bit of a power dynamic abuse. If an incel rapes someone, they're still an "involuntary celerate"

[–] 790@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 days ago

People use the word incel to the point of irrelevance. If you're having sex you're not involuntarily celibate.

Folks online were calling Henry Cavill an incel a while back. If these guys were celibate it would be by choice. If you're trying to criticize them in other ways, why not use the right words?

yeah but those women also actively engaged in a relationship with the Worlds Biggest Asshole to the point of having a children with The Worlds Biggest Asshole—good road map for initial big sharp drop rig contraption testers; just sayin.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

actually almost all of his "children"are done through IVF/surrogacy, he has a fetish with breeding so its like incubators for him

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

This grosses me out the most. He isn't even having romantic relationships with the mothers where a spell of passion ends up with children. No, in a few cases, he literal went up to his own employees offering to pay them to be single mothers for his own demonic ego.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wow, I didn't think it was going to be possible for me to have less respect for, or more grossed by, the guy doing Nazi salutes on tv... but yet, here we are. These people are so fucking weird...

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's a gross perversion of eugenics, he's quite obsessed with it. I always point out that's he's the alien in the second species movie. The alien infected human and wanted to fill the earth with his progeny

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I honestly think I would be less grossed out of he was an actual alien, and not just some weirdo super rich illegal alien dropping anchors babies.

I don't know much about billionaires, so I just kind of assumed that they had kids with, like, royalty or business family heiresses or A-list actresses. Not with their employees and/or whoever is left at the cocktail party after the A-listers have gone.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Funny thing is I think a lot of these babies were by surrogacy and in vitro fertilization, I don't think there was actually a lot of sex going on with any of these women.

That's what I read, I could be wrong

Imma be really shallow for a minute

But for a billionaire who had all his children artificially, he totally could have paid way hotter women to act like his wife and pretend that it is not about the money.
