@SamIAm06010110@commontruth_@TadhgHickey So what about the pro Palestine hate speech at the marches in London and elsewhere?
Under your own definition they should all be held accountable for all of the hate visible from the protesters chants and placards? @SamIAm06010110
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
@ProfHall1955 This guy @ProfHall1955 is an obvious terrorist scum sympathiser.
These academics are sick fuckers, they should be nowhere near young minds.
@argentoensuiza@JAYNEHAMILTON2@EdwardJDavey Most Argentinians are just Spanish colonists.
Look up the War of the desert for starters.
Maybe, look at the Napalpi massacre 1924.
Rincon Bomba massacre 1947 under Person.
A disgusting nation.
@HannibalBarcids@dyliedoughnuts@RichardGCorbett Most of the young are crap in the workplace, don't want to do more than about 20 hours a week.
They deserve fuck all, they should earn it like the rest of us did.
@HannibalBarcids
Mainly the middle class Muppets with establishment parents worked abroad.
@argentoensuiza@JAYNEHAMILTON2@EdwardJDavey Argentina didn't exist.
I know there are many retarded people on X but try learning some history.
Didn't Spain commit genocide in South America?
Portugal in Brazil?
Is it only British colonialism that you hate?
@argentoensuiza
@ToonDazza I have written a draft constitutional reform if any party wants to pick it up.
It includes real democratic reforms and putting power back into the hands of the people.
Cronyism would wither and die on the vine.
Meritocracy would return and targets.
@RupertLowe10@Nigel_Farage
@antoguerrera@TheStateWatcher He is a globalist Muppet.
After the inevitable civil war, hopefully we will install a new constitution and high treason will once again be met with the death penalty.
@Keir_Starmer will, on current evidence qualify for the highest sanctions.
@GrumpyLofty@GBNEWS Furthermore, do not issue another single visa for Pakistani citizens to come to the UK.
No travel visa.
No student visa.
None at all.
Send back any visitors on temporary visa immediately.
Time we stood up for ourselves.
@mdjcole@JustMe4Now0@AllisonPearson Except Neville Chamberlain was dead six months later from Bowel Cancer.
So doesn't really support your opinion.
Halifax had wanted to appease Hitler.
Churchill was the obvious man for the job having been a steadfast critic of Hitler and a revitalised Germany pre 1939.
@mdjcole
@mdjcole@AllisonPearson That was a wartime measure.
Totally different to this pathetic situation.
The career politicians are mugging the nation off.
They have been doing so since the 1990s.
@mdjcole
They constantly piss on democracy
