idk whos writing or approving the scripts for the house of the dragon but the show sucks ass now. fell off since season 1 with lazy writing and obvious bias while marketing itself to be bipartisan. SUCH A BIG FUCKING CASH GRAB.

DEMOCRACY IS NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE
@wilsontctc@AesPolitics1 hate to break your little bubble friend but nowhere in the odyssey is there any amount of truth, its a work of FICTION with thousands of intellectual debate pertaining its origin. the only value it has is the story is pretty awesome. again its a STORY!!
@anupamachopra sorry to hear this anupama, still doesnt change the fact ur reviews & publications are mostly paid or junkets and biased towards people youre friends with or those who cozy up to you.
One of the worst haters of BJP is the children of BJP leaders themselves, especially those studying/studied at elite colleges. The hate is so visceral they don't even hide it, despite knowing it could harm their parents' political prospects.
Saw a daughter of a BJP MP from Odisha celebrating Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation on her Insta story. That was alright, but next, her MP mother texted her on WhatsApp asking her to delete the story, saying Dharmendra Pradhan's PA was requesting it. Instead, she posted a screenshot of her mother's WhatsApp chat with the caption: "No PA to Dharmendra Pradhan, I'll not delete the story."
This behavior cones from a desperate need for peer validation. When BJP kids enter elite, left-leaning college circles, their family name instantly makes them social outcasts. To fit in with the cool crowd and prove they aren't like their "backward" parents, they perform absurd overcompensations, becoming the loudest, most hysterical critics of their own family's politics just to secure a scrap of peer acceptance.
Naturally, their politician parents quietly indulge this hypocrisy, viewing their children's posture as a necessary social tax.
@CoreyWriting even here thousands of miles from the US people i know couldn’t get seats for the first 4-5 days (i booked almost 25 days in advance) so the the hype is real, audience was overjoyed and it seems the incels on twitter are still crying.
So damn funny that @elonmusk thought he had the power to stop Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Even he forgets that his shit site is mostly bots and people making blue check money from farming outrage.
Such a colossal, racist, transphobic loser.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey may be the most pro-Western civilization film Hollywood has made in decades - not because it flatters the Greeks, but because it understands civilization as a moral achievement rather than an ethnic possession.
The identitarian far-left and far-right share a premise: that the Western canon is ethnic property. One side condemns it on that basis; the other guards it on the same basis. Nolan refuses the premise, populating Homer's world with various identities while treating the story with absolute seriousness. That’s not a repudiation of the canon but evidence of its triumph: Homer can be inhabited by, and speak to, anyone.
The film’s deepest commitment is to individual moral agency. Odysseus cannot hide behind Greece, military orders, or victory. His choices are his own, and so is his guilt. No collective cause dissolves individual moral responsibility; his final heroism lies not in conquest, but atonement.
That principle extends to hospitality: treat the stranger as you would wish to be treated. When the Greeks violate it, they become the barbarians they fear. Penelope's devastating realization - "You're the people from the sea" - underscores that the enemies of civilization are sometimes its self-appointed defenders, exempting themselves from the principles they claim to uphold.
This is Western civilization at its best - not an ethnicity or a triumphalist myth, but a tradition built around the dignity of the individual, moral responsibility, and atonement. And a civilization strong enough to preserve stories that judge its own heroes remains a civilization worth defending.
@vikkrant007@kkstau its a 3000 year old story so the predictable ship has sailed already and idk what did you see yesterday but this film was packed with the cinematic punch you were talking about.
Hope for change often stings because hope is not strategy. Reality? The powers that be do not want us to think about change. Stop outsourcing hope. Go out and see for yourself how many people even talk about it now. It seems nobody needs it. They have been gradually conditioned by technology to not seek change. There is no yearning for change since the UPI has become the go-to method of transaction. People don't seem to be worried at all. I just ordered apples worth ₹675.45 and I wanted to give ₹700 but had to pay the exact change. Change goes, doesn't come. Change doesn't come. Nahin manga tha toh nahin milega.
@_tyler_durdn_@kamleshksingh hes very much corruptible. look how the middle east princes have made him his bitch.
