When the “center right” denounces the “far right,” it always uses the strongest possible tones of disgust and uncleanness.
When the “center left” denounces the “far left,” it’s always like “shh, you’re harshing our con”
Nolan strips the gods out of The Odyssey entirely. Only goddesses show up, and then only as PTSD hallucinations. Nolan’s apologists will say that he did this because he was going for a more “grounded” film. Oh okay. So then why does Ancient Greece have the demographic makeup of Los Angeles circa 2026? Why is there a tiny little woman running around pretending to be a dude? Why is there an Asian guy delivering the line “we’re Greeks from Ithaca”? Grounded? Really? Grounded in what? The apologists are letting Nolan have his cake and eat it too, like always.
I love how Leftists have to constantly downplay Great Man Theory because it contradicts their ideology when all of us (including them) know it’s obviously true.
You're confusing two different things.
Homer's Odysseus suffers because of what the war cost him: his companions, twenty years away from his family, and the hardships of the journey home.
Nolan's Odysseus suffers because of what the war made him do in Troy.
That's a fundamentally different moral framework.
You're actually a fucking retard omg
In the myth Odysseus has absolutely zero regret over sacking Troy
He feels sorrow and remorse over his fallen comrades, but doesn't lose a wink of sleep over besting his enemies
He was PROUD of his accomplishments you revisionist fuck
Rep. Gill: "Is it important to be polite?"
Smithsonian Director Hartig: "Yes, sir"
Gill: "The Smithsonian lists politeness as an attribute of white supremacy"
I'm not for it, but I am not a fan of the house of Windsor. Since King Alfred's remains have been discovered, can we not determine who his descendants are and choose one of them, instead?
These Republicans just stabbed Trump’s deportation promise in the back with an amnesty farm bill.
They’re only gonna get the message one way. Vote every single one of them out in a massive wave, and replace them with real immigration hawks.
Anything less, and they’ll never take us seriously.
The meat packing industry is our nation’s greatest threat.
They have driven wholesale replacement of small town populations with foreigners for DECADES.
They are literally controlled by our geopolitical foes.
And hardly anybody even knows about it.
“These are universal stories that apply to everyone.”
Stop universalizing Western Civilization’s founding myths and pretending like they don’t belong to anyone.
They are a story detailing the collapse of Bronze Age Greece and the founding myth of Rome. By their very nature, they are not “for everyone”.
The Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid “belong to everyone” in the same way the Shahnameh and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms “belong to everyone”.
Are we going to start seeing Hollywood cast a black guy to play Cao Cao too?
I doubt it. The only ones who ever get erased in this endless quest towards making everything for everyone at all times is Western man himself.
Guys, there’s an alternative if the SAVE America Act doesn’t pass.
In 1946, a corrupt Memphis machine had rigged McMinn County elections for a decade.
When WWII vets ran their own candidates and the machine stole it again, the sheriff’s deputies locked the ballot boxes in the jail to “count” them in secret.
So the veterans broke into the National Guard armory, armed up, and laid siege to that jail until they counted every ballot in public and swore their candidates in days later.
Or we could file a complaint or ragepost online or something.
