SUPERMAN IS NOT MOSES

 While researching about the Zack Snyder Trilogy, I come across a video that explained that Superman shouldn't be a Jesus rip-off. This video was released by the channel Pillar of Garbage, and this name is quite accurate to the mess I found. 

Pillar of Garbage is a filo-jewish critical theorist channel that discusses entertainment products. Therefore, the reason they opposed to the ridiculous Hollywood tendency to make Superman into a Jesus rip-off wasn't based on respect for the Christ but on whiny woke nonsense. 

Garbage explained that turning Superman into an allegory for Jesus deleted the "jewish roots" of the character. The creator for the character, Jerry Siegel, wanted Superman to stand up for the oppressed. He claimed Siegel and Schuster wanted to make some sort of communist hero with strong political inclinations, but after the cold war the establishment chose to make him more agreeable to the mostly-protestant masses of America and the non-communist.  

He disrespected Jesus Christ, in typical jewish fashion and then said that Superman (at least originally) was not, or should not be, a symbol for Jesus, but for Moses.   

However, to say that Superman is Moses is ignorant and stupid. While many Superman writers have gone too far to turn the kryptonian into a fake messias, no such thing has ever been done with Moses. 

Whoever says that Superman is Moses is ignorant of both Moses and Superman.  

Superman's most consistent value is humanism, and his motivation is love of humanity. This love comes from the gratitude he feels for Jonathan and Martha Kent. In contrast, the motivation of Moses is love for God, and it is only through his love of God that he loves the Hebrews. 

Such difference should be sufficient, because means that Moses and Superman have a different religion and they see the world in starkly contrasting ways. 

However, there is more. 

Moses is the liberator of his own people, the hebrews. However, how can Superman be a liberator of his people if the kryptonians are dead? Their civilization is gone. Krypton had its chance. 

Someone would argue that the people of Superman are not the kryptonians but the humans, whom he loves intensely because they adopted him as his own. If we translate this to Moses, wouldn't it mean that he would love the Egyptians because they adopted him for a while? 

It is clear that Moses experience with those who adopted him is different from Clark Kent.

Pillar of Garbage seems to think that Jesus only acted out of self-interest but Moses acted out of a desire to the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Such nonsense is what comes across as media commentary in this days. As if Moses didn't act because God made the burning bush miracle and presented himself as the commander of all things, the king of the universe and the slavemaster of the galaxies. 

His whole religion is centered around one principal commandment: You Will Love God above all things and follow his rules, not "you will do the right thing because the right thing is good and the not-right thing is bad because your conscience". It is the God who decides what is right or wrong, not the general consensus of the majority of mankind, and it is not your heart.  

Pillar of Garbage seems to think Moses is some sort of worldly liberator, unlike Jesus. This is not the case. Moses was a prophet, a slave of God who incites other people to be slaves of God too. This is different from Superman who comes to preach no religion. Moses's mission is imposed from beyond and supernatural, while Superman has no mission but he took the personal choice to use his powers for the material benefit of the people. 

What I understood is that Jews hate Jesus so much that when one of their products gets compared to the Messias, they immediately deny this, blame capitalism and proceed to say their product is closer to someone they actually like: Moses. To think this idea is defended by anyone is disturbing and should humiliate anyone who has an exceedingly high idea of human intelligence.
