This is the best anon I've ever received, and I'm never, ever letting it leave my inbox. Some European aristocrat is a secret member of right-wing tumblr but can't leave any kind of trail that could risk being outed.

Godspeed

“Veggietales is Christian propaganda” veggietales taught me that I am special and loved and I should stand up for what is right and also not to trust the IRS

[magus7a]

Exactly, Christian propaganda

Rep. Gill: "Is it important to be polite?"

Smithsonian Director: "Yes sir."

Rep. Gill: "The Smithsonian Institute references politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture. Ma'am are you a white supremacist?"

You ever fantasize about finding a number that's a counterexample to the Riemann hypothesis and then just posting it on 4chan with no explanation, or is that just me?

[eightyonekilograms]

People are just doing this now thanks to large language models.

Honestly, in Marvel New York why would you even advertise that information? Amazing Spiderman 2

[onion-souls]

Superhero settings have developed a form of promotion called caping.

The company looks up what supervillains are currently active, and tailors their campaign around them. A firm in Gotham might place an ad about their new store opening and show off a conspicuous silver bird statue.

The Penguin sees the ad, and takes the bait. Suddenly, your store is the victim of a heinous ornithological heist, and you're front page news. Attention and pity business starts flowing in.

You've made back triple profits on your $2,000 silver puffin loss. By the end of the week, Robin drops in with the statue. There's another photo op, and an endorsement from the local heroes.

These super people are suckers

Alternatively, it's just a form of insurance fraud. Gonna take a bath on your new casino? Just brand it around the Joker, wait for him to bomb it, and then collect the insurance payout.

[onion-souls]

Yeah, the ol' Joker's Wild ploy.

I wonder what it's like being an insurance agent.

"Hey, so we're considering opening up a clown college in Goth-"

"FUCK YOU, $10 BILLION MONTHLY PREMIUM."

Fifteen month battle between your homeowners insurance and the other guy's auto insurance that no, they aren't liable because 'car getting thrown through the house by Juggernaut' is NOT 'an accident' even IF their insured was in the driver's seat at the time, and yes your medical payments rider is on the hook for the driver's medical bills despite not actually LANDING in your property. The injury was sustained whilst inside your property on his route from the front porch to his final landing site three doors down.

Witnessed another driver run not 1, not 2, but 3 red lights on my way home from church

Brother mind your life!!!

[crabs-and-bedbugs]

How were you keeping up without running red lights yourself??

Sometimes you get a brief glimpse into the American worldview and decide that you don't want to know.

I cannot stress enough that this meme is entirely literal. there's no reference or subtext you don't know. these are simply the objectively most popular works of art from each denomination.

>"this books has been banned in the US!!!!"

>looks inside

>just removed from a few high school libraries. Fully available in public libraries, book stores, and online.

[catholicapothecary]

the average person is unable to discern the difference between “banned” and “taken off required reading list in a single school district”

[blogofex]

It's not "the average person", it's a specific cadre of ideological librarians that want to exaggerate their own importance by making it seem like their favorite book is being oppressed.
