Soldier with spear

In this fragment of a Crucifixion of Grünewald the body of the crucified Jew is barely visible on the left margin. What is worth showing is the white man’s piety at the foot of the cross and the soldier. As Richard Spencer recently said in a video referring to the spiritual triumph of the Jews over the Romans, ‘The blond beast could not be confronted directly. He had to be turned into a guilt-ridden head case’.
