            christian supremacy is so entrenched, anything that pisses them off and undermines their social position is good. making privileged people feel uncomfortable is good, categorically.

            internet atheists were annoying (the primary backlash wasn’t because of the racist faction when the default reddit position was hating muslims), real life christians take away your rights, your healthcare, want to kill trans people, and are currently trying to destroy the world because they think jesus will come back if they do enough zionism and wars.

            the primary contradiction seems obvious to me.

            It would be more effective to circle it and write something like “Congress shall make no such law” and point out the flagrant disregard for the constitution the US courts have when it conflicts with their personal preferences.

            It punches harder, is at least 80% less cringe, doesn’t feel like a personal attack to a Christian, and has at least some possibility of getting someone to realize what a sham it all is.

          ok? we’ll assume for the sake of argument that any of that happened, and your problem is with the redditor and not the anticommunists who put it on the money in the first place, or the person who threw a tantrum over it?

            You’ll notice that the screenshot which I just made says that the post happened almost 18 years ago. I wonder what this person is doing now and if they’re still drawing on dollar bills.

            I don’t have any problem with it. I just think it’s silly and pointless. It makes me laugh. I recall there being many similar incidents of people drawing over the ‘in god we trust’ around 2010. Seems to have mostly been forgotten.

            Writing “Trump is a pedophile” on dollars is to the same effect.

            It reminds me of the Occupy Wallstreet era.

    “Around the world”? You know most of the world doesn’t use USD, right?

      It kind of does, due to the petrodollar and SWIFT and IMF and World Bank. It’s the global reserve currency.

      Though a lot of that isn’t actual literal paper dollar bills, just numbers on a computer screen, but still.

        Yeah, the bills don’t circulate normally anywhere except the US. Even in the couple of countries that are dollarized that’s not normal circulation and is quite precarious. The digital dollars only exist in the computers of bankers and are basically spreadsheet placeholders for whatever currencies are actually used at the origin and destination of whatever material thing is being traded around the world.

      The DOJ might issue an “emergency” ruling that defacing new currency carries the death penalty. Legal experts laugh at this but are very careful to hedge as in “This case should be thrown out.” Within weeks GOP SCOTUS issues a bizarre shadow docket ruling that agrees with the DOJ. And - just like that - defacing currency with Trump’s signature can get you executed.

      The method of execution is first undecided. But Trump says “People are going to die on teevee so it’s gotta look good for teevee. Firing squad probably maybe. Firing squad good object lesson. Probably best.”

    You should do it using ultraviolet marker also. Will increase chances of spreading without being noticed too soon.
