    I think calling the state’s participation in the klan’s horrors of the Jim crow South “ignoring” is an odd choice. That’s like saying the Israeli government “ignores” settler violence.

      Then we agree this comic makes little sense for Roman soldiers to be saying this, instead of the hypocritical Pharisees who trade a preacher for 30 silver coins.

        Yeah the soldiers and the state were just following orders. Totally absolving them of responsibility for the thing they did because some other people wanted it done too. Like mercenaries in Rhodesia.

          The state ignored the mob disobeying the law. Then legally absolved themselves of their crimes.

          Like mercenaries in Rhodesia.

          Sure, that metaphor works.

          Why did Andy pick the wrong characters for this metaphor?

            Is it because pugjesus is a secret Israeli plant tasked with infiltrating meme communities on low traffic websites to plant anti Roman propaganda so the real Jewish killers of Jesus can make their getaway?

              I wouldn’t know anything about that, bruh. Make a thread about that elsewhere.

              I’m talking about Andy’s choice of characters to metaphor pro statist prop for a religious martyr.
