This is an insane take which requires significant proof. You have any or talking out your racist ass? I’m sorry the group that’s not being persecuted isnt doing enough for Palestine when it’s Europe and America who alone fund the Israeli genocide. Jesus Christ what an lack of critical thinking

Yeah your right, Scotland, Ireland and Wales had no say, not fuck Britain, fuck England

It’s actually fucking insane Churchill and his policies killed 4 million Indians while he was in office and you call it “precisely the monster required at the time” fuck if you think so lowly of brown people I guess Hitler was the monster required for the time too, he broke the western European colonial empires to the point their empires crumbled not long after. So 6 million Jews, makes Hitler the most evil man on earth but 4+ million south Asians dying under Churchills watch is “precisely the monster required for the time” you fucking dunce

Okay buddy, no retort and echo chamber have scrambled your brain. The world doesn’t revolve around Europe and Americas perception of the world, your important topic isn’t the world’s. And I never said anything about explicit sides, only that India is currently playing both sides as a member of bricks and a occasional friend of America and Europe. One of the few smart policies they have actually

I personally do care for Ukraines sovereignty, but I’m from Europe, if me speaking on why Indians don’t logically care about Ukraine makes you so butthurt, it proves my point that India can play both sides and shouldn’t care

Europe needs India, India doesn’t need Europe, most of the worlds manufacturing is now in China and India. Why you talking about Finland and Ireland when we both know who runs the western world… Last I checked Donald trump, Keir stammer, Emmanuel Macron arent fininish

Fuck the BJP but at the same time, why should Asia follow it’s former European enslavers. We know British or the west doesn’t care for Ukraine only for a weaker Russia and India is playing both sides as a massive economy. Good for them!

Absolute facts, men are often ignored in this situation, were expected to be strong and handle everything by ourselves like we aren’t humans, someone’s child tryna figure what to do in life. The real enemy of the world is the class war and if we could realise that wed realise we are the 99%

You clearly care for only Israel, this is like condemning an attack on the Nazis saving you care deeply for Jewish and German lives on nazi base camps. If you genuinely care for the oppressor as much as the oppressed, you are a failed human being

5 miles away from spawn point, the furthest I’ve lived is 300 miles away but in the same nation, my spawn city is absolutely home to me, even if not ethnically from here, I am very privileged to be born here

No actually it’s pretty good, because it’s time the word dies and the special protected status of the Jews that no other people or race has is forgotten about. After Gaza, anti-Semitism isn’t a thing anymore and thankfully gen Z has no loyalty to Israel

Speaking of, what children? The “40 beheaded babies” which babies, I can give you a list of thousands of children with their names and ages of just the confirmed who are dead that goes on for many many minutes of non stop scrolling

You think you have a nuanced take but it’s actually pretty brain-dead and pointless. You are essentially saying you want status quo. If someone comes to your phone, rapes your grandmother, and murders your grandfather and expels your mum and dad and you, later you see one of their kids, you beat them up, are you no equally as bad? Was it right to beat up a kid who may have had no part in it? Sure, but is it uncalled for and equally cruel? Absolutely not.

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

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?

Found this on Reddit a great write up on someone telling someone equally as unqualified as you on the topic in words Far cleaner than mine. Go have a read without a Hentai break if you can

It’s only in recent years that he’s been consistently portrayed as a white man by Western (particularly American) Christians.

I’m sorry, but this claim of /u/best_of_badgers is just not true. They’ve cherry-picked individual examples without any sense of their historical context and skipped an entire millennium of western Europe. A millennium in which, if David Nirenberg is correct, Christian icongraphy was a major vehicle for working out concepts of racial difference before “race.”

Medieval European (and Middle Eastern, for that matter) scholars inherited from antiquity the idea that climate affects the development of those native to the region–this will play an important role in the evolution of scientific racism into the early 20th century. The closer to the equator, the hotter the temperature–the angier, earthier, and darker-skinned people got. Centuries before “black” and “white” accrued their modern American meanings, medieval Latin writers were describing and illuminators were painting white and black people. There are a few cases, like the famous Spanish manuscript known as the Book of Games, where the depictions seem to mirror the diversity of the painters’ experience to some extent: the illuminations feature dark-skinned and light-skinned Saracen men, and light-skinned Christian and Saracen women alike (the Christian men are all light-skinned). But especially when depicting situations of Christians vs. Saracens, as in illustrations to the Song of Roland, the Saracens are uniformly dark-skinned and the Christians light-skinned. The association of Christians as white and Muslims as black persists in literary descriptions. In medieval romance, characters with one Christian and one Saracen parent are even described as black and white spotted. Or when a Saracen character converts to Christianity, their skin color physically changes from black to white.

So European artists were well aware that native residents of more southern lands tended to have darker skin. And yet western European medieval Jesus is white. It’s 14th century mystic Birgitta of Sweden who gives us, through her visions, the tradition of Mary as not just white but blonde. Her Jesus, too, shines with white light.

I want to highlight a second iconographical development over the later Middle Ages. Iconography is all about the use of visual shorthand to convey meaning. In earlier art, into the high Middle Ages, depictions of Jews are recognizable above all by their hats, sometimes also by their clothing. But over the later M.A., Jews start to take on what we now see as “stereotypically” Jewish features (stereotypically thanks to Christian-incubated iconography), primarily darker features and a hooked nose.

Medieval Christians knew Jesus was Jewish. Some theologians and pastors occasionally made a big deal out of it (typically in an anti-Jewish context). Do medieval illuminations and woodcuts of Jesus and Mary give them the stereotypical hooked nose?

No, they bestow that feature on demons and the devil.

Depictions of Jesus are iconographical: they represent concrete theological and often political claims. In western medieval art, the depiction of Jesus as “like us” reigned supreme and served to demarcate, isolate, and condemn everyone else. "

So bud when you showing me that 6th century white jesus?

Black isn’t a race, could you not figure that out?

Catholicism comes from Christianity comes from an event in middle east and is a successor to Judaism which again is from the middle east, could you not figure that out?

Show me 6th century white jesus? This should be interesting I already checked 😂

Why is it always the losers who cry about weird things like instance, make the biggest stink always the least educated people. The fuck you get your knowledge from? Intensive anime watching?

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?

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

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.
