"I tread where I please" [View all] orangecrush Aug 2025 OP

Why are you posting this religio-fascist bollocks? Celerity Aug 2025 #1

I think it's a great reply to the Gadsden flag The Blue Flower Aug 2025 #2

The Gadsen Flag and Don't Tread on Me were symbols of the American Revolution gainst the tyranny of the King Celerity Aug 2025 #3

Our Lady of Guadalupe is an aspect of the Virgin Mary that is highly venerated in Mexico and is often used as a symbol WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #4

I refuse to bend to any Christian iconography that claims 'I Tread Where I Please' Full stop. Celerity Aug 2025 #5

No one is asking you to. I'm just telling you why the image is important to some people WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #6

No one ForgedCrank Aug 2025 #8

I cannot stand that crap either Skittles Aug 2025 #21

You forgot to use a U.K. phrase in this one. writerJT Aug 2025 #25

Did I now? I think not, not that it matters in the slightest. Celerity Aug 2025 #31

Blimey! writerJT Aug 2025 #34

The representation is a reaction to the right wing hijacking orangecrush Aug 2025 #9

I refuse RW hijacking of the Gadsen Flag as well. Here's an example of a trad-cath using 'I Tread where I Please' flag Celerity Aug 2025 #13

That's not a tradcath. That's a mainstream Catholic priest. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #15

Pushing some RW bullshit is not mainstream in my book. nt Celerity Aug 2025 #16

"Mainstream Catholic," I'm saying. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #17

Yes, I understood that, and I do not think that (using his words/retweets): Celerity Aug 2025 #20

Celerity, no one is asking you to agree with Catholic tenets or some random ass priest. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #24

I'll always have problems with any religion that claims it treads where it pleases. I highly doubt that synthetic trio, Celerity Aug 2025 #26

And I highly doubt I can convince you otherwise, so we'll leave it at that. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2025 #29

That is a false claim. He literally said : 'New background for today's show!' Celerity Aug 2025 #23

non sequitur Celerity Aug 2025 #39

Nonsense orangecrush Aug 2025 #12

Again I refuse to let the RW co-opt it, and I do not have to lean into AI to do so. Celerity Aug 2025 #14

Ok orangecrush Aug 2025 #18

She's the patron saint of the Americas, but I've never seen the snake thing before, nor anything authoritarian. LeftInTX Aug 2025 #42

It's a co-optation of a traditional religious picture, whathehell Aug 2025 #52

that religion often "treads" where they are not wanted Skittles Aug 2025 #22

A lot of religions do that orangecrush Aug 2025 #27

yeah, whatever Skittles Aug 2025 #28
