Most people complaining about the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey don’t fully understand what they’re objecting to because it's deeper than they realize: As such, I'll explain.

The unease they feel runs deeper than superficial complaints about “realism” or skin tone. What they can't articulate is their objection to universalizing the particular; an error characteristic of philosophical liberalism.

The Odyssey is not a universal story. It is not a detachable “hero’s journey” that can be stripped of its cultural origins and modernized for contemporary audiences. Its power lies in its particularity. The audience must do the work of closing the gap; the text does not come to us.

The values that animate it, xenia (reciprocal guest-friendship), oikos (the household and its obligations), mētis (cunning intelligence), kleos (glory), and timē (honor), are not interchangeable with modern liberal abstractions. They are embedded in a specific ancient Greek moral and social world. They are not timeless “human themes” floating free of context.

This is why the Odyssey functions today primarily as an educational text rather than popular entertainment, as it once did. It belonged to the moral universe of ancient Greece. It does not belong to ours. Its value lies precisely in its alienness: it forces us to encounter a distinct way of thinking about justice, loyalty, hospitality, and human excellence.

When critics complain that an adaptation “isn’t realistic,” they are grasping for the most accessible language to express a deeper discomfort. What actually bothers them is the erosion of cultural fidelity; the required deracination for modern audiences stripping it of its required context, which in turn strips it of all of the value that it contains. A universal Odyssey has no value.

In attempting to globalize the Odyssey, they erase what remains of an already dead culture; killing even its ghost. Ancient Greece is gone, yet we have preserved its artifacts and stories not because they resemble us, but because they are different. The point of engaging with them is to contend with what is foreign, not to replace it with comforting modernity.

Ancient Greece is remarkable, horrifying, marvelous, repulsive, and admirable all at once. It is not a culture we would want to inhabit, but it is one from which we still benefit by struggling to understand it on its own terms. Turning it into a generic vehicle for contemporary sensibilities performs a kind of reverse alchemy: it transforms something rare and demanding into something familiar and undemanding, thus making gold into lead.

Oswald Spengler was a great opponent of the traditional interpretation of the Renaissance as this sort of great return to antiquity, as a sort of glorious escape from medieval irrationality back to the glory of Rome. For him, imitation of Rome was impossible, because the artists of the time were already irreversibly influenced by the Gothic-Faustian art of their era. Even when rebelling against it and trying to return to antiquity, they were unable to emancipate themselves of the though-forms of their era.

On top of that, classical sculpting basically died as a serious and influential art-form right after the renaissance, betraying the fact that it was an inauthentic rebellion and not a natural expression of the thought-forms of their time.

Everything Atelier Missor produces is an imitation of art and culture produced by a different world, with different thought-forms, different worldviews and different ideals. They create these statues that are supposed to represent prometheanism, liberty, ambition, whatever. But what they actually represent is the desire for the desire for these things. The yearning to feel the drive for liberty, prometheanism, etc. in the first place. It's thus not an authentic expression of any actual feelings or movements in our society, it's the expression of lack.

Much like how porn simulates desire and thus distracts from the quest of desiring and being desired by a real woman, Atelier Missor distracts from the quest for genuinely new cultural forms of thoughts that could inspire and activate hidden forces within our society, and mobilise them for genuinely revolutionary causes.

This kind of stuff is nothing more than the Opium for the Chuds.

Western leftism is just rape apologism at this point.

INSANITY: Tim Walz says we shouldn’t judge child molesters based purely on their decision to rape a child but on how they live their rest of their lives.

It’s always interesting to see leftists rediscover the bourgeois concepts of good and evil when it’s time to protect the downtrodden (a rapist thrill killer)

@steveLy20921937 @Jasonred2020 Mientras ustedes oprimian a los galeses. Aqui formaron familia con los tehuelches en la patagonia. Aqui se habla español. Pero en pueblos del sur, la lengua Galesa sigue mas viva que nunca y nadie oprime a nadie para imponer el español. Son libres de hablar en gales.

The Welsh "nationalist" hyperfixation on a small community of Argentine Mezistos of paternal Welsh descent is very strange

[Jason🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿2026 @Jasonred2020]

Wales have more links to Argentina(Patagonia) than England.

Würde man Polen-Litauen mit derselben kartografischen Strenge zeichnen wie das HRR, wäre Osteuropa auf historischen Karten ein ähnlich faszinierender, bunter Flickenteppich. Warum historische Karten von Frankreich usw nicht genauso bunt gezeichnet werden, hat ideologische Gründe:

@EnslaveQuakers I mean, they're really just trying to make sure that people who regard Sinwar as a hero know that Sinwar, specifically, had an inglorious death.

But I'll stop playing devil's advocate now.

[Chudfish @Chudfish14921]

a "banned book" photo op with " New york times best seller" on the cover is the type of irony that gets script writers chased out of rooms

[Minister of Propaganda @cat_Chudson]

@EnslaveQuakers Tbf I don't think he's accusing him of cowardice- just pointing out that it was an inglorious death.
Though I wouldn't say Captive Dreamer is in a position to be mocking someone who died for their cause regardless.
