I think a community where you can post or link ai slop in order for some Lemming to make a human made imagine would be a fun idea.

Here, I'll poorly try this one.

the flags are important. there are too many that refuse to accept that the genocidal and violent colonial forces depicted in this meme are the same ones that are committing a genocide and ethnic cleansing in palestine -- especially gaza -- right now.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I just wrote the country instead of drawing the flags. Maybe someone more skilled can add to it.

The English never stated that god promised them some land.

They just took it for the Crown.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

"God, King and Country" definitely implies it

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah the excuse the Brits and French used for land theft was to better the savages and teach them about Christ.

" god gave me this land " is manifest destiny reserved for settler colonies like the US and Israel.

[–] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn't the point of the whole "divine right of kings" that the kings actions follow the will of god? Or worded a bit differently, that a king works as a god's proxy.

This would mean that taking land for the crown means taking it in the name of god, right?

my own god told me i can kill you and steal your shit.

imagine if everyone was living under that "logic"

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like this God fella gives a lot of weird promises.

[–] BioDriver@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Agree with the message but this looks like AI slop

i love reading yanqui because i keep misreading it as yaqui and it makes me feel special because i descend from them; or at least most of me does. lol

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That first one should be the Union Jack or not a Pilgrim

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure, if you ignore everything that happened after 1775

[–] Xeno@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hence the “or it shouldn’t be a pilgrim” part. By 1775 people were dressing more like what we associate with the American revolution.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nuh uh, everyone in the US dressed like either pilgrims or cowboys until 1970 when jeans were invented.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

1970 when jeans were invented.

That can't be true. Racist have been obsessed with passing down the right jeans(sic) for centuries.

The 18 downvotes are interesting

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Man, I downvoted because of the AI used to make the meme

But then I unvoted to avoid the racism, so now we are at a net neutral

[–] galaxy_nova@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

How do you see downvotes? Is it a feature of your app?

Edit nvm I guess I never even checked to see if that was an option lmao

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Am I the only one who just uses Firefox, lol?

[–] galaxy_nova@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I personally really hate web apps and would rather have native apps for everything. Even some apps that feel off UI wise I find annoying but better than website. And yes I’m an Apple/Gnome user so I guess that makes sense…

[–] Xeno@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seems like gods (or rather the people who believe in them, since those actually exist) are consistently a problem.

Nu-uh, jeans were invented in the 1850s to be sold to gold rush miners out in California. A Levi's commercial told me so. Same era had big hoop skirts. It was jeans and hoop skirts up until Disco.
