When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Twitter is a handy and constant reminder that socialists are disgusting people.

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon You keep saying it’s related to the Odyssey- I’ve never heard that before, and I don’t see it myself. Explain.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon I’m saying your example is as apt as homeward bound. I’m not the one that’s saying homeward bound has great analogies for the Odyssey - you are saying that about Oh Brother - Where art Thou?

Burden of proof is on you.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon Go on then

@CAMELCASTOff You can say what you like about Mel Gibson, but that son of a bitch knows narrative structure!

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@TerraDraca The quiet part of leftist “representation” discourse is an unspoken acknowledgement that humans self-segregate into groups of people similar to themselves and take hostile positions to put groups by instinct.

That is to say, we are all irredeemably racist, them included.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@fwprism It’s obvious that they are doing it. Why is the only question.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon The only similarity it bears to the Odyssey is that it’s a journey. By that standard “Homeward Bound” is also an adaption of the Odyssey.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon It’s more a parody or following the same theme, it’s not an adaption. As far as I’m aware there aren’t even any particularly close references to encounters from the Odyssey.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon An amusing comedy caper.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon My point is that Nelson Mandela and Odysseus are both mythological creations.

@dqveed She isn’t trying to help anyone. She’s trying to make everyone poorer.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@TheNextMazer Jason and the argonauts knew what it was, what it wanted to be and who its audience were - it casted appropriately.

Will the new film stand the test of time and become such a classic of cinema?

I doubt it.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@allieknightt Greed? Lust for power? Or was he just born with a heart full of liberalism?!

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@BenMclaine Cool story, but we know that what you actually want is to be able to spread gender ideology unquestioned.

Because it falls apart when questioned.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@ukhomeoffice I’m no police abolitionist, but serious ground-up reform is required, and the removal of political ideology and lobby interests from how the police functions is the first step - especially in recruitment and promotion.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@mysteriouskat Maybe tradition exists for a reason and disrupting it causes society to break down until it is replaced by a different society.

Just food for thought.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@thescottbarber @SomethingLatin Are you really saying he sat down in the casting for Helen and really thought an African woman made perfect sense with no politics or representation agenda whatsoever?

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@thescottbarber Great films existed long before woke casting, and are still great today. No film with woke casting has become a classic since the practice became commonplace.

[Sir Robin @Cynical_Dave_II]

@notcarlosz2 @MaciekKol @clairlemon You could argue that Nelson Mandela being a “good guy” was entirely made up. His movement hung burning tyres around peoples necks.
