The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris represents a new cultural low point in the history of European culture. Although sporting events should not be overestimated in terms of their significance, there is no question that this is a major media event, which is why its meaning, its symbolism and its narrative radiate out into the world.
These Olympics show the world what point Europe has reached: it is almost tragically funny how this celebration mixes ancient symbolism with vulgar postmodern trash, as a woke neo-marxist provocation brewed in a cauldron of stinking swamp. The performance was a readymade, taken from one of the rat-infested streets of Paris, directly from one of the burning garbage cans full of scrap.
This is the state of Europe, this is the Europe in which the functionalist elite wants to dissolve us in a space liberated from tradition and values, in which the symbolism handed down has lost its value. The fall forward on an ever steeper plane is their program, the possibility of creating a healthy life in stable family structures without the devastating educational influence of the state is disappearing before our eyes.
The celebration of this confused chaos speaks volumes. The shabby reminiscence of the Last Supper or a woke transgender Dionysos (or whatever this crap should symbolize) is then undignified. You can almost feel sorry for the people who were lured by the spectacle and burned their money unprotected in a woke bubble of stupidity and madness in the pelting rain.
It is a good thing that the Olympic competitions, which were launched in ancient Greece nearly 3000 years ago, are coming to an end in Paris where they were reborn in 1896. Cycles need to close to get rid of stuff! For the Green Commies: this is also a form of recycling, the mental destruction of brain-sick pus.
A competition based on dignified meritocratic values, on a principle of performance crystallized in individual sport that is supposed to confer honour on a community, had truly lost nothing in our time, in which the green climate apocalypse holds people in thrall.
The Greek gods can retire in peace, we have rejected their legacy - they truly did not deserve such heirs.
The aesthetic of an age is also the condensation of its feelings of excellence, of beauty and dignity, in which hope for the future and pride in one's own traditions are bundled. Europe is done.
Olympics are supposed to be family friendly. That portion of the ceremony was most certainly not family friendly.
Could you imagine the backlash if they had mocked any religion other than Christianity?

My father was watching the show happily on our 65" Sony TV and he suddenly went out calling a few abusive words (of course in Hindi) for the Olympics.

Catholicism/Christianity have lost power and, above all, respect. As @simplestaker says, there are only a couple of religions that we have to be aware of their reactions. I am not religious or a believer, and I find the abuses, murders and aberrations committed in the name of a God absurd. Personally, I am not offended by the scene of the last supper, but I do find it disturbing and disturbing to see those people with that appearance. Ironically, thank God the Holy Inquisition is over.

I don’t think you have to be religious to find it off putting to mock a specific religion during a celebration of global sport.

Amy Wax: “Why are successful, peaceful, orderly, prosperous, technologically advanced, democratically sound countries so rare and so few, and why do they clump up in one tiny corner of the globe, namely Europe, the Anglosphere?  We also have Japan, which is a wonder, I think, in many ways, a very admirable country.  Perhaps Taiwan.  And why is the rest of the world essentially consisting of, in various degrees, failed states?  Why do we have a post-Enlightenment portion of the world and a pre-Enlightenment portion of the world?  And I guess, to be really crude about it, you would use Trump’s succinct phrase: Why are there so many shithole countries? Of course the moment you say that, people just get outraged: Oh, my God, you are a racist for saying that. And that, of course, lets them off the hook; they don’t have to answer the question, which is convenient."
Exactly, something totally out of place in an environment that has nothing to do with it. It's a sporting event, not a parody.

I'll be honest, I didn't see the show, I've only seen those images and it's more than enough to not want to watch it.

One reason for the Spanish Inquisition was to expel the Moors who conquered Spain and Portugal in 720.
Or as George Costanza would say, the Moops!

during this terrible performance, they dragged the last supper into the mud. you don't have to be a religious person to interpret something like this as a culture war and perceive it as anti-social
reply
Yes I saw it. I said "could you imagine the backlash if they had mocked any religion other than Christianity". I know they mocked Christianity. I am just pointing out it is ok and in fashion for the leftists to hate Christianity but if this ceremony had mocked Islam they would have been calling for the organizers to be tried at the Hague.
reply
To be fair, there's only one religion whose reaction we have to constantly worry about.
reply
The Amish, they are always causing trouble

Great write up, as usual, Tom. I'm glad they produced this spectacle for such a wide audience to see. I have to believe shining a light on this stuff will bring about a change. Maybe rather than an end, this is a new beginning.

thank you. our children will have to create something new from the ashes. it's actually a beautiful thing too

vulgar postmodern trash, as a woke neo-marxist provocation
I could not have phrased it better. The scene with the decapitated Marie-Antoinette was tasteless. The mockery and provocation of people of Christian faith is undeniably over-the-top. They would not dare doing this with Islam, and we know exactly why. We need to mainstream the word Christianophobia now.

Absolutely right. Thanks

I don't get it... who wants to see this shit? Literally 0.05% of the population thinks this is good. I don't know how people are allowed to make such stupid and selfish decisions.
reply
a sick ideology can also be implemented by way of demoralization. after destroying the symbolic order, bombarding civil liberties, systematically undermining the market economy, all that remains is the constant repetition of trash and attacks on tradition. since no one can really defend themselves against this, a diffuse feeling of powerlessness arises. this is what these pigs are counting on

I've watched so many opening ceremonies for various sports! I love watching them but this is the worst I've ever witnessed. The title you gave to this post certainly fits it! It was a naked show for aliens this time!

in the meantime, i really didn't know whether i should laugh or cry. it's really all so pathetic and primitive, no level any more, everything is so appalling

The three-way lovers were too much for me and my little kiddos and so we turned it off. Thankfully! I then missed the last supper portion.
It’s annoying that nearly everything is sexualized these days. I can’t seem to watch “family friendly” TV anymore for fear of my kids having sex porned into their eyes.

A pagan ceremony would sooner or later return to its pagan roots.
The Modern Era Olympic Games were a supposedly neutral field where nations could face-off to see who's superior without resorting to war. Then it morphed into a "International Community" event since national sentiments started to get frowned upon. Now it's a Global event - Global as in globalist - that serves as a propaganda vehicle to all the nonsense we see these days.

It was merely a show of blasphemy!!
