This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with "suspending" habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn't matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they'll never come for you, you're forgetting that they'll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA "informers" who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

Also exactly what Hitler did with the Reichtag Fire Decree: https://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/the-reichstag-fire/

But the courts will save me...right?

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

No, the courts absolutely couldn't save you, that's exactly what suspension of habeas corpus means - habeas corpus means that if you're imprisoned, it can be challenged in the courts by you or someone else. If you lose habeas corpus, no one can challenge anyone's imprisonment legally. It removes the right to trial. Your right to a trial if you're imprisoned is called habeas corpus.

I know first hand of an anti- DEI-ban protest that occurred on a college campus in a red state. I also know first hand that the Turning Point USA group chat had at least one individual, a student of that same university, threaten to call ICE on this university-approved peaceful protest, as they were upset at the noise.

Because he's the son of God

And according to Europeans or those of European descent, the son of God has got to be white like them and not some dirty brown curly haired middle eastern Arab.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

IIRC, white Jesus is specifically made to look like members of the Medici family, who were major sponsors of the same Renaissance artists who painted most of our iconic religious art.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks I'm gonna call him Medici Jesus now and accuse anyone who uses that portrayal of Medici propaganda

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can't blame people for drawing people as they know them.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Nah, Europe had black people.

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I mean, yes, black people were present but in very small numbers, and their presence was rare enough that they often stood out significantly in the historical record. The most were probably around the southern borders of todays europe, like spain, italy and greece, but black people in todays germany, poland or even further up north were an absolute rarity. Even in southern europe, black people were rare enough that many people only saw a handful of them in their lifetime.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Germany nor Poland made the white jesus, your bringing up an entirely moot point

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmerzensmann

German art of jesus.

I don't know polish so idk what to look for, but I'm very certain I'd find some white jesus art from that timeframe from a polish artist.

Please fuck off, you lemmy.ml people are fucking uninformed beyond imagination but pretend you know everything. You are so obnoxious. Get out of my feed.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Awww you gonna cry you massive baby, somebody goes against you and start crying .ml user you Virgin. I chose this instance by random but my god do I love how weird losers on the internet get so attached to weird meaningless things.

That's the 15th century so Germany didn't make the white jesus as you said 6th century right? Please cry more. Where is is this 6th century white jesus btw?

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 months ago

I posted you a fucking link to 6th century white jesus german art you fucking moron. My god, you're genuinely a fucking fruitless discussion partner. Go fuck off now, cheerio.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Running off like a little removed ay, come on bro 6TH CENTURY WHITE JESUS. Where is it then lmfaooooo Average hardcore high school drop out Lemmy user in his mom's basement moment

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's 15 century from Germany, are you stupid as fuck? Hes also clearly Jewish and showing showing characteristics as medieval Europe knew he was a Jew. Where is white jesus then?

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Many people only saw a hundred people in their lifetime. Most people were farmers. There were no trains or TV then.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Those people weren't the ones painting paintings and writing stories

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, those people saw plenty of black people

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but these were painted in Italy.

They've barely got any black people even now.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah the Moors controlled the Iberian peninsula for nearly 800 years from 711-1492.

[-] Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago

The moors were mostly Arabs and Berbers, though.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, and Jesus was from the middle east, so the people of europe would not be unaware of what people from there might look like.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

They've seen Arabs and Semites haven't they... The land where jesus is from. Why you talking like jesus is from the heart of Africa

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Because many haven't? It's not like people in medieval europe could take a quick trip with ryanair from tel aviv to berlin lmao. Black people in central europe were rare enough that many people have never seen one in their life. Most of them were around the borders of todays southern europe.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I can already tell you're not at all well versed in this topic. Have you heard of a concept called trade mate? Did you know that before the Roman empire even existed a network of trade and safe passage was made that could traverse from China to the furthest western point of Europe including India, the steppes and African trade (east coast). Also you keep going back to 'black people" like wtf is this discount American eugenics take. Bro the religion is middle eastern, people knew what they looked like, there's thing thing called art and sculptures which help those who never seem one understand what they look like. But none of this even matters you turned into a race thing, it was a cultural shift, the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn't really take off till the 20th century (white jesus) Just another fat L, Tel Aviv wasn't a thing back then, tf you choose that awful fucking city full of earth's worst people. call it by it's real name. Jaffa

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

it was a cultural shift, the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn't really take off till the 20th century (white jesus)

This is fundamentally incorrect, and I can prove it - better yet, someone else already has in these comments.
