The most-disliked trailer of Christopher Nolan’s career comes in response to casting Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy.
Let me explain why the disapproval is the rational part of this story, and why the confidence of the people waving it away is not.
The defence for casting Nyong’o as Helen of Troy is shallow. “These are made-up stories,” says the online commenter. “They can be remade however we want.”
The people making this argument believe that distinguishing myth from history is a display of intelligence.
A clean example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, the confidence of someone who has learned that a thing is invented without ever asking what the invention is for.
History records one man, once. Myth records what a thousand men held in common.
The myth is the self-portrait a civilization paints of its own best self.
This is why it is not merely a tale for entertainment.
Homer’s Odyssey is a time capsule for a culture, the encoded values and examples that tell a people what it means to belong to them.
@ShawnRyan762 Your show seemed to be worth while for one hot minute. Thanks for presenting your true retardation by having guests the likes of Candace and displaying the circles of hell ya’ll trade in. Truly a time saver
@c4v3m4n3@bapman@calleymeans It’s a fair and factual comparison. They have nearly the same amount of sugar and most the fibre is filtered out in the processing. Think about who told you fruit juice is healthy.
As this DSA sweep rises and increasingly conquers Leftwing discourse and the Democratic Party, there will be people who will say we should have worked with the Woke Right instead of fighting them. They're wrong. The Woke Right are also socialists. They're the same thing.
The Left Didn't Replace Religion... It Became One
- "The Science" is scripture
- Peer-review studies are the canon
- The priesthood are "the experts"
- Capitalism is the fallen world
- Revolution is purification
- Dictatorship of the proletariat is purgatory
- Communal living is heaven
- Climate change is the apocalypse
- Gender identity is the soul
As for Leftist morality: evil is Hitler. Just live and let live. Be anything other than the forbidden thing.
Every serious moral tradition understood that virtue is the hard, exact thing, and corruption is the wide margin around it.
This secular religion inverts this. It believes in one bullseye of evil and an open field of good, which means it has no conception of good at all.
Your ruling class is not secular, and they are imposing their faith on you.
Bizarrely, socialism is still popular among young people. They should listen to those who lived it!
“You don't really know you have it good until you have it bad,” says @charlesNKorea.
He escaped North Korea, twice.
He tells me his story and the importance of freedom:
The Democrats are very manipulative and positioning themselves as these "saviors" or "heroes" against the big bad Republicans who are unfairly targeting Haitians/Syrians.
They do this banking on the fact that their voters are uneducated and forget that their original argument to let Haitians/Syrians in was that it was meant to be "temporary." The program is literally called TPS (Temporary Protected Status).
The Democrats moved the goalposts, not the Republicans, and now the Republicans are being labeled as evil when the Democrats knew their status was meant to be temporary all along.
The master plan is to get these people into the country through any means necessary, get their families hooked on welfare, and create little Democrat voters out of them. People are too emotionally reactive to understand that these programs fail our citizens.
Another example of failed leftist policies that the Republicans get demonized for.
“When Mark Carney said, ‘The middle powers should get together’—it’s a fantasy. They did that, it’s called Europe,” says Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorganChase. “The GDP of Europe has gone from 90% of America to 70%. And in our view, it will probably continue to erode over time because [of] high taxes.
