The cultural, economic and moral decay of the Western world showcased during the Olympic Games opening in France yesterday! China and Russia probably couldn’t believe their eyes about what kind of “values” the Western world is now propagating‼️ https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1816977236085416353?s=12

I’m not going to defend the artistic choice of going for a burlesque show instead of something more classical. But I can help with some context for what you’re seeing here. The blue character is an interpretation of Nietzsche’s Dionysos, used here as an antagonist to “the Crucified” (Jesus). It’s part of the whole shtick they did that night that apparently offended a bunch of Christians. So it’s not as randomly degenerate as it seems, it’s a burlesque and highly symbolic representation of a pretty deep theme with historical and philosophical undertones. Here’s a great explanation found on Reddit from years ago:

China and Russia are our ethical and moral role models now? what, a million? political prisoners that might disagree, ffs. And cheers to Dionysus and the “fortified” wine.
