Saw the Odyssey last night.
The irony of the right wing backlash is that this is a deeply small-c conservative film. It's about the consequences of defying the gods, and how society crumbles when we violate sacred traditions.
It's such an own goal that the right hates it.
The Odyssey feels like Stalingrad for conservative antiwoke culture warriors because they tried to go after one of the worlds most famous filmmakers and ordinary people are like shut up nerds
Pat Tillman’s communications were monitored and sent up the chain from the day he enlisted. Once they saw he had turned against the war and planned to publicly oppose it on his return a decision was made to kill him. They weren’t going to risk another Smedley Butler
Pat Tillman was shot 3 times in the back of the head from 10m by a fellow soldier after he started speaking publicly against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And we dilute his memory on purpose each year. Makes me sick.
