President Joe Biden has said the US will lead the world by the “power of our example.” California is now making children worship Aztec gods of human sacrifice and there’s a viral campaign for $1,000 custom ‘Satan’ sneakers.
For a mere $1,018, some 666 “lucky” Americans will be able to buy “Satan shoes,” a Devil-themed modification of Nike’s 1997 Air Max sneakers, on March 29. The air bubble inside will be filled with red ink and “one drop of human blood,” according to a promotional tweet that went viral on Friday.
The price is a reference to the Bible verse inscribed on the shoe – “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven,” from Luke 10:18. The custom sneakers were apparently a collaboration between the company MSCHF (Mischief) and rapper Lil Nas X.
In what must be a remarkable coincidence, the rapper has just released a music video (WARNING: GRAPHIC) in which he “rides a stripper pole into hell and gives the Devil a lap dance.”
“Satan shoes” were announced just a week after California adopted the “ethnic curriculum” to the praise of mainstream media, who argued it was aimed at ending hatred and racism. CNN positively gushed about it. California, after all, is the state that lifts up the torch of wokeness to light the path to Progress for the rest of America, or something.
Of course, the devil is in the details, such as making elementary school children invoke Aztec gods to empower them as “warriors” for social justice. Among them is the “revolutionary spirit” Huitzilopochtli, the deity of war and sun – and recipient of thousands of human sacrifices.
