Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

I produced this video for The Gravel Institute a few years back before the organization folded.

It's popped off again recently for some reason. Maybe because everything has gotten worse?

When monetary gain is the only thing that matters, you're gonna get shit products and services.

We worship the dollar. That's the root of the problem.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 2 weeks ago

We don't just worship the dollar, we literally elevate thieves and conmen and praise them for suckering so many people. They're just smart businessmen by fucking over the populace for their own gain.

And this is why family values and Christianity have disappeared in the US. It's not some liberal plot. It's not immigration. We ourselves have sold them so we can worship the dollar unimpeded by morality.

That's why xtians are perfect in a capitalist society - as long as they pray for absolution and acknowledge the "one true god", morality plays no part in their decision making.

They can be utter trash humans as long as they are sorry about it afterwards.

The veil is thin though - one of the commandments is that no other god comes before theirs; but they kneel at the altar of the dollar. The entire western world revolves around money, not that christ guy or his works and deeds. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

They are what John Bunyan called, "Christians in silver slippers". Happy to have all the advantages of being recognized as good religious people when it's available, but just as happy to toss it all when the tide turns and Christianity is unfashionable or they can get something better.

The Gravel Institute folded? That sucks.

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 37 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It ran out of money and everyone got laid off in 2022. We've all been looking for work since then, but I've got a few irons in the fire I'll be releasing soon.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That fucking blows because you guys were doing great as a necessary antithesis to shit like TPUSA and the whole Ben Shapiro idiocy. I wish you luck on your next venture mate.

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Very much appreciate that 🖖

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I had no idea. That's a real shame.

Fun fact, I don't pay my hospital bills. Mostly because i can't bit (but), also if hospitals didn't want me skipping maybe they should fight for my rights. If we didnt live in basically a third world country it wouldn't be a problem. But hey the orange man is going to fix it all, right?.....

Hey, this got recommended to me yesterday after an Hbomb video! Cool to see the creator is on Lemmy

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hbomb has new videos? Last one was a year ago, haven't seen anything new

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I was rewatching the Pathologic video lol

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Where can we find your work and future videos?

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My website has links to most of my works, or my linktree for the rest. I'll be releasing work with Jacobin Magazine soon too.

Are... are you David Cross?

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Would that I were so lucky. I am, in fact, Tymon Brown, for whatever that's worth.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Please say yes 🤞
