When I say Australia was paradise on earth in the 60s, I really mean that.
At what point did somebody decide that what this place really needed was 4 million Indians?
On this day in 1918 the Bolsheviks herded Tsar Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, and their five children into a basement in Yekaterinburg and opened fire.
The bullets bounced because the girls had diamonds sewn into their corsets. So the reds finished the job with bayonets, stabbing, crushing skulls, and butchering the children while they were still alive.
Then they stripped the bodies, doused them in acid, burned what remained, and dumped the remains in a forest to hide the crime.
This was the deliberate, sadistic murder of an entire family, including a sick little boy, by communist animals who needed the blood of innocents to cement their power.
Never forget what the Bolsheviks were.
Never forgive it.
Imagine an Odyssey:
>Spoken in ancient greek
>Recorded with historically accurate armor
>With greeks cast in it
>No cringe rap videos
>Actually loyal to the source material
What could have been.
“It’s a fictional character, so it doesn’t matter.”
Yeah, and Black Panther is also a fictional character.
But are we going to cast a white woman to play Black Panther?
🇬🇷 En la mitología griega, Helena de Troya, hija de Zeus y Leda, se decía que era la mujer más hermosa del mundo, una belleza que más tarde fue inmortalizada como "el rostro que lanzó mil barcos".
The cringiest changes in The Odyssey weren't the 3-minute cameos of Ellen Page and Lupita Nyong'o:
1. Odysseus at the beginning of the movie is nearly in tears and demands Penelope remarry if he doesn't make it back -- literally acting like a cuck, that was not the motivation here.
2. Penelope at the end of the movie gives a feminist rant about how she has the "experience" to be the monarch and the fact it has to be a male King leading is "stupid."
3. Odysseus spends the whole movie crying about the Trojan War and how "bad" it was and how it's bringing about the end of the Bronze Age and Greek civilization, which is complete nonsense.
There was no reason for any of this. It was just a complete rewrite that made zero sense in Greek culture. Christopher Nolan 2026 wokeified it.
"My name is Nobody."
"Weird flex but okay."
(Later)
"HELLLLPPPP HE'S GOT ME!!"
"Bro?? Who's got you?!"
"NOBODY!"
"Lol cap, you almost had us bro."
Dude. It even works in modern *slang*.
Nolan has no excuse.
Come on bro it’s a masterpiece bro did you see the Rotten Tomatoes scores bro everybody loves it bro black trans everything is the future bro you’re just mad Nolan is a genius bro
Not sure why Christopher Nolan doesn't think the "Nobody" pun doesn't translate to modern dialogue. The Odyssey's "Nobody" pun might be nearly 3,000 years old yet remains one of the most famous literary tricks in human history. It holds up today because it is simultaneously a simple joke, linguistic genius, and adds to Odyssyeus's hubris.
There's even another layer to this trick. Odysseus knows he can't out muscle this guy. By stripping his name and becoming "Nobody", Odysseus proves that identity and strength are meaningless without intellect.
After defeating the Cyclops, Odysseus (safe on his ship) let's his ego gets the best of him. He can't stand even his "Nobody" alter ego getting the credit, so he screams his real name back at the Cyclops to let him know who really did this to him.
And of course, now that the cyclops knows it was really Odysseus, prays to Poseidon using his real name. Which in the poem, catches Odysseus a 10 year prison sentence out at sea.
The "Nobody" joke is insanely multilayered and the real punchline is Odysseus can't stand Nobody taking credit for his exploits.

The Odyssey begins by showing an African rapper with rasta in the role of a Greek poet. We Greeks are forced to watch our Greek history and culture being disgraced and mocked across the entire world. What is Nolan's real role in doing something like this instead of casting a Greek person speaking Greek? What's the purpose of casting someone with rasta in the Greek world?
I'll tell you. Nolan and Hollywood are the real racists and enemies of the West. They hate us Greeks. The simplest confirmation comes from the fact that when a film is about African history, they don't cast white people, only Africans. When it's about Chinese or Japanese history, they cast only Asians, and they even speak only in their own language. But now that the time has come for a film based on Greek history with Greeks, not a single Greek is cast, they don't speak even a bit of Greek, and they don't even respect Homer. So, for films about European cultures, Africans, Asians, and anything else must be cast, but when it comes to African culture, whites are not allowed to play those roles.
This is the real racism of Hollywood.
Hollywood is a cancer that rots your souls and enslaves your minds and spirits. They hate you and they want to destroy you. Never forget the real enemies of the West and of your race. Those who are in universities, the academics, teaching your children how to hate their ancestors instead of honoring them. Don't do them the favor. Love the Greco-Roman world and fight those who hate you.
Never forget the traitors who took everything as a joke and contributed to the plan to destroy Western civilization.
Further disarming their citizens, making them more vulnerable to slaughter, instead of ACTUALLY DEALING with the PROBLEM of IMPORTING PEOPLE INTO THEIR COUNTRY WHO HATE THEM and HATE THEIR CULTURE is just MORE AUSTRALIAN BULLSH!T from the COWARDLY, GUTLESS AUSSIE LEADERSHIP.
