The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life.

– Walter Benjamin, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” 1935

Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

– Matthew 8:34, New International Version
