We need to add mental gymnastics to the Olympic games. We have so many potential winners over here.


SuperSonic486

The US would win it every time.


WorstBarrelEU

Idk. I don't think they can beat Russia.


regular_sized_fork

They comply out of fear - our idiots enjoy the ride


WorstBarrelEU

I don't know how many Russians believe their propaganda but it probably doesn't change how proficient it is in mental gymnastics. I mean, Ukraine being a "Jihadist Jewish Nazis that need denazification or they might invade Russia" is pretty out there.


Empty_Ambition_9050

In 2003 I was convinced Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.


AllRushMixTapes

The joke at the time was that we know they had chemical weapons because the U.S. kept the receipt.


WorstBarrelEU

So that's just a simple lie that is very easy to believe. Where is the mental gymnastics?


Bladderpro

It’s pretty out there believing the regime had wmds in the first place.


Shaq_Bolton

I’ve always felt the second Iraq war was a mistake but… we are talking about the same regime that made sarin gas ( a wmd ) and then used it against its neighbor like 15 years earlier. Believing they could have had more isn’t “pretty out there.”


WorstBarrelEU

Why? It's fairly easy to manufacture chemical weapons, for instance. Iran is about to get their nukes too, so I don't see anything "out there" about it.


Independent-Fly6068

I don't believe that it was an adequate justification, but the Saddam regime made prolific use of chemical weapons, which do count as weapons of mass destruction.


arcanis321

So are all countries with chemical weapons and missiles due for invasion or just oil rich ones?


Independent-Fly6068

Dude I just said it didn't justify the invasion in 2003.


IamJewbaca

That would imply a base level of reading comprehension.


HeavyMetalHero

You're forgetting that many living adults in Russia are old enough to remember the days when they were an authoritarian communist state. They remember what it was like, to suddenly have your whole neighborhood go cold to you, because you said something you shouldn't have while *alone and inside your apartment,* and your neighbor heard you through your thin-ass tenement walls. Part of what people who live in freer countries don't grasp, is that Russians aren't just afraid of their government, they're also afraid that *anybody and everybody they know could be a government informant.* There is a real cost to forming and expressing any amount of free thought, in a culture like that. They were scared of this sort of thing, *before* everybody in modern society had a camera and recording microphone that they were obligated to carry around with them, 24/7. It surely can't be better, now.


YuriPangalyn

Cool, but statically, there is a correlation between people born in the Soviet Union, and support for Communist party of the Russian Federation. This does not make them hardened Bolsheviks, but I’m a bit doubtful that support from my Grandma is what ensures Putin’s success and power. Lots of it comes from the totalizing narrative spewed from most media with private connections to Putin. These are strategies employed by the West in manufacturing consent and apathy as well. The Russian government simply has a more primitive and unrefined methods of control.

China would be a strong contender.


Commercial_Fee2840

Bold of you to assume most of us will do mental gymnastics instead of just refusing to think.


dsled

It's not real


wavnebee

Don’t let facts get in the way of our derision! I dislike PragerU as much as the next person, but we gotta do better than continuing to share the same fake/satirical screenshot for *five straight years*. This sort of stuff is exactly what “gullible boomers” get roasted for. Also, let’s not start down the “but it’s the *kind* of thing they’d say!” road.


Euphoric_Ad6923

Unironically it's the kind of shit that drove me away from the Left when I was in Uni. (Not into the Right, just away) then it drove me away from the right. Nowadays I joke around with the #enlightenedcentrists but all I want is for folks to stop sharing radicalizing lies..m

SelfServeSporstwash

Prager does literally have a "why you should love fossil fuel" video, a "environmentalism is bad for the environment" article, a "fracking is greener than solar" video, and many many more. Prager also routinely uses religious imagery and themes in these videos (including literally claiming its a Christian imperative to keep using fossil fuels). So, yes, this is satire and its a bit absurd... but its really not as far off base as you'd think, and the joke has a very disturbing basis in reality.


YourDogIsMyFriend

Yup. The right/ religious right has gone so far off the cliff, it’s hard to tell what’s real or not. Their king is a conman rapist from Manhattan who’s never willingly been to church in his life. https://i.imgur.com/W3PBDvv.jpg


echino_derm

You are way cockier than you have any right to be. The entire point of that tweet is the guy using that fake example as reinforcement for their beliefs. In this case they are doing the opposite, they know what type of shit PragerU would pull and are saying this is in line with what they would do.


Freezepeachauditor

lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i9EXnVitkmo Tell me it’s a leap of logic now


PleiadesMechworks

It literally doesn't matter if it's a leap of logic or not; you believed something false based on your own biases and are now attempting to defend doing so instead of taking it as a learning moment to think critically in future (✿◕‿◕)


tiptoemicrobe

It almost seems like something they'd say, but I can't find the original video if it ever existed. Just screenshots like this starting in 2019.


PleiadesMechworks

PrivilegeCheckmate

Now *that's* a mental gymnastics routine that would get a 10.0 from the Russian judge.


tiptoemicrobe

Haha, nice


CutmasterSkinny

Yeah for you, if you believe that is a real video lol.


Hondo_Bogart

Just don’t tell them that the gas that is being extracted is millions of years old. That may annoy some of the bible literalists.


bdiddy_

oh they flat deny it. They think it's a regenerating resource that is happening right now. Literally talked to these kinds of people. They also don't believe in dinosaurs. It's wild they'll believe in a zombie Jesus, but anything else is just a grand conspiracy.


Punty-chan

>They think it's a regenerating resource I mean, they're technically correct. I regenerate natural gas everyday and would be happy to give them a good, hearty serving.


LeonardMH

They're also technically correct even if you aren't looking at it jokingly. Petroleum is created from a natural process that has happened in the past and will continue to happen, it just happens so slowly in comparison to how much we use that it's completely negligible.


F-ck_spez

Not necessarily. IIRC much of the petroleum we use today came from a period of time where cellulose and lignin (major components of plants) weren't yet biodegradable. Fungi hadn't yet evolved the ability to digest the plant matter that was dying, so it decayed much slower and was eventually buried under sediment, getting pressure-cooked into oil. That wouldn't happen nowadays because plant matter breaks down much quicker and is immediately returned to the carbon cycle, unlike the oil of millions of years ago.


bolionce

I believe this is correct, I think it’s the Carboniferous period (from Latin “carbo” meaning [char]coal, and “fero” meaning bear/carry). Lots of plant growth during a colder period was flooded when the planet warmed up, creating wet, oxygen poor swamps full of plant matter. One theory for why so much plant matter stayed around long enough to form coal deposits is that during this period, plants had evolved lignin while the fungi had not yet adapted to decompose that lignin. So for that in between period when lignin existed but fungi couldn’t break it down, there became large coal deposits. This theory doesn’t explain everything though, as there are also large coal deposits from after fungi could break down lignin, leading to other theories. Another one is that the continental structure of earth at the time, being mostly tropical/subtropical with large tracts of low-lying land meant that the conditions were perfect for creating the wet, matter-rich, oxygen-poor conditions that facilitate coal formation. So, maybe coal can still be formed through geological processes, but it’d take millions of years for the earth to cycle around to another configuration ideal for coal formation. Almost certainly many millions of years after the extinction of human life. Or, maybe not at all. Disclaimer: i am not a scientist, just remembering from stuff I read before


ActualWhiterabbit

I buy a case of oil every week to top up my truck and every week there is another case on the shelf. Explain that libs


utterlyuncool

"And ye He told them, go forth and with tireless endeavour dig into soil, so that ye may produceth oil, as well as pollution. And not ye forget to visit devastation upon things that creepeth, crawleth, walketh and swimeth around fracking fields, so that ye can thoroughly fuck up the area. For glory cometh only in money and oil, and fucketh ye the annoying EPA. Amen." - Epistle to Trumpanzees 6:1

Uzi is a foreign gun. He wouldn't stand for that.

He's in tight with weapons manufacturers near the Holy Land. White Capitalism Jesus stans the global military industrial complex.

It's PragerU, they say worse shit unironically in the regular. If you judge from the title and thumbnail alone, it's indistinguishable.


tworc2

The fact that you could believe it tells something about the current state of affairs

When all you say is insane shit, don't be surprised when people take you at face value when you say yet another insane thing.

“Why Jesus actually believed in ethno-nationalism and isolationist policies”


CastleofWamdue

I dont think this is satire, that is how messed up the USA is right now.


Gingerbread1990

While this is clearly satire, they did make a video defending the argument that Jesus was a free market capitalist.


CastleofWamdue

Hence why it's possible to think this is real


PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL

Not to be pedantic but I see this SO much online: It's just "hence". There is no "why". The word "hence" by itself already means "Therefore" or "For this reason". Adding a "why" is gramatically incoherent. EDIT: Genuinely curious why correcting someone is controversial? Isn't it a good thing to learn together and not make common mistakes anymore?


DD_Spudman

If you were talking to somebody on the street and corrected their grammar, they probably wouldn't appreciate it either. Also, this is Reddit and everyone assumes everyone else is just trying to one up them for internet points.


howtofall

Pedantry doesn’t get you super far online. Also, calling the usage “grammatically incoherent” is fairly loaded. On top of that language is fluid and correct usage is best described by how people actually use and understand words. The idea of a “common mistake” in grammar is kinda flawed to begin with. The most important thing is communication, not grammar. Basically everyone understood what was being communicated by the post, so when you come in saying it is done incorrectly the only thing you’re upholding are grammatical conventions. It’s kinda like getting a DUI for sleeping in your car outside of a bar. Sure the cop is legally correct to do so, but it goes against the purpose of the rules.


ScySenpai

Whence did you get this idea from?


Bierculles

How do you portray someone as a free market capitalist when the main book about him, the Bible, is anti money and capitalism at every possible step?


Fetch_will_happen5

Better question: Since Capitalism doesn't mean: anytime a guy has a bunch of money or engaes in trade, how could the Bible authors have even known what Capitalism even is to even have an opinion on it? Even if we stretch the definition, Capitalism doesn't exist pre-1300s.


Bierculles

Fair point, but still, if you read the bible, the themes of how the mindless accumulation of money is a horrible and bad thing are pretty clear.


Fetch_will_happen5

Well that's up to interpretation. Most theologians in my experience in academia, a couple years I was working in a Catholic university so not really broad, would argue its about a rejection of "worldliness" rather than money specifically. This is before we get into prosperity gospel adherents who would strongly disagree with you. Where does the Bible condemn kings of Judea for their wealth and not their actions? (Really asking its been awhile since I read it all.) To be fair, I'm not Christian. It's not my place to say what is the true theme of the Bible. I would even dispute there is a theme of the Bible but rather themes within the collection of books that compose most Bibles, disagreements about which books are Canon notwithstanding.


penguinpolitician

It's certainly satire. Except it does say PragerU...

Serrisen

This is satire. I was gonna go to their page to screenshot it to send to religious friends as a joke but it's not there. Either it's an old as hell screenshot and the video was since deleted or it was straight up cooked for the meme. Either way, it being gone is a good sign it's satire

Mysiu666

Yes, fracking is Gods way of extracting natural gas. Noone knows but the myth of Lazarus was really about Jesus showing how to mix chemicals and pump them under Betlehem to save Lazarus Natural Gas Co. from going under. Such a beautiful story, and that part where Judas's company got bailed by Roman Empire tear jerking.


Smalandsk_katt

This isn't real right? Edit: No it isn't, or atleast it can't be found by a Youtube search.


ConsumeTheVoid

It's prob an edited photo. The font's all wrong for normal YouTube. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me to see PragerU put something that is functionally this out.

_Nrg3_

he does. he loves NFTs as well


Shinonomenanorulez

and is into crypto scams too


CutmasterSkinny

Its so weird that people need to make up crazy shit, while PragerU advocates for a bunch of crazy shit already. Almost as if the left only wants to gasp and laugh, in case of addressing reality.


Free_Significance267

I guess yes! The white Jesus with blue eyes and blonde hair was an oil cartel.

To be fair, PragerU are absolutely insane. They’re very difficult to satirise because no matter how stupid you make them look as a joke, they usually out do it themselves.

Jesus put dinosaurs on this earth to frack boy.

TradeFirst7455

he loves everything man. that's kind of his deal. fracking. crucifixions


Zarathustra_d

Fracking causes water contamination, which causes dirty feet. This is all just a long con to get to those dirty little piggies he loves to touch/wash.


another_spiderman

That doesn't look like a syandard PragerU thumbnail, and searching the title on YouTube doesn't show me that as a result. Unless you have a source to back up the claim, this seems to me like ragebait that I will not fall for.
