Jesus at the Superbowl

 

People on the left are unhappy with the “He Gets Us” ads that ran during the Superbowl. Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez claims they are fascist: “Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign.” A leftist friend on Facebook objects that the huge sums they cost should have been spent instead on the poor.

Why does she not express the same concerns about the huge sums spent on the Satanic performance in the recent Grammy Awards ceremony? All the celebrities dressed in outfits costing thousands of dollars; all the big production numbers; all the expensive talent?

Why does she not ask the same question about the huge sums spent on the Super Bowl halftime show? What about the money spent on Superbowl tickets, and trips to Glendale Arizona to watch the game? How many bowls of soup for the poor could that have bought?

The left has immense hypocrisy here in claiming their concern is for the poor.

That is an alibi.

And why is a message of tolerance and reconciliation fascist? The ad I saw ends “Jesus loved the people we hate.” 

Can you imagine that as the concluding line of a speech by Hitler or Goebbels?

It is obviously the opposite of the Nazi message, if not so clearly of the Fascist, message. 

Here is another example of how the modern left classifies any reference to morality as “fascist,” or “racist,” or “white supremacy.” 

They feel hunted and victimized by any reference, even oblique, to morality. They feel like the Jews being hounded by the Nazis, forced to wear the yellow star. But what is really hunting them is the Erinyes, their own conscience, morality itself. It is their pervasive sense of guilt over abortion and sexual libertinage. And their terror is making them increasingly hysterical and violent

Ironically, it was probably their identification with morality—what Nietzsche called “slave morality”—that really motivated Hitler to hate and persecute the Jews.
