Make it make sense

Somebody is a liar.

People say that "Men just make up scenarios in their head and get mad abt it"

The thing is that this has happened multiple times now.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

It’s true.

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

How times have changed 😂

[Honeybadger@NobodyButMe🇺🇲🇺🇲 @Kimberl59898021]

So true. Hmmmmm

If the system is structured to reward women at the expense of men, it’s hard to see how it can honestly be described as patriarchal or oppressive to women.

All these movements seem less about genuine equality and more about extracting additional benefits.

I have never watched 1 episode of Stephen Colberts' show. Have you?

[Byl Holte @SirBylHolte]

Let’s see if I have this right:

Black Helen of Troy and Black Clytemnestra are the daughters of Leda, who is said to have snowy, alabaster skin, and a white swan (Zeus in disguise).

They are literally the only black elite in all of ancient Greece… yet somehow nobody in Sparta or Troy ever notices or mentions it.

And King Menelaus marries this black Helen - completely outside his race - and no one bats an eye?

And Paris, a Trojan warrior, is so hot for her he steals her from her husband - and no one back home in Troy bats an eye when they see her?

Same with Clytemnestra marrying the Greek king Agamemnon - ZERO cultural or racial issues?

And fun fact: Clytemnestra doesn't even physically appear in the timeline of the poem, as she is ALREADY DEAD.

But their brothers Castor and Pollux stay fully Greek, and again, nobody notices the mysterious racial mismatch in the same family.

Here's the thing: Ancient Greeks were notoriously xenophobic about outsiders, especially when it came to upper-class marriages and preserving bloodlines.

Yet in Nolan’s version, none of that matters.

Just "putting black women in places they never would have been," because...MAH RACISM.

Is this REALLY the story Christopher Nolan expects us to swallow?

I read - with tears in my eyes - historian and Islam expert @RaymondIbrahim5 article “The Armenian Genocide: A Warning Ignored, a Pattern Repeated” and have written a shorter summary here. Link to the article in the comments.

The image you see is not from a film. It is from reality.

From 1915 to 1917, the Ottoman Empire - what is today Turkey - carried out a systematic genocide. Not only against Armenians. But against Christians. All Christians.

Armenians. Greeks. Assyrians. Chaldeans. Maronites.

What they all had in common was not their nationality. Not their ethnicity.

It was their faith. They were Christians.

And that was enough to be exterminated.

And who was behind it?

The Ottoman Empire’s Muslim regime. Driven by pan-Islamism and religious fanaticism. Christians were kafir - infidels. Jihad was the religious mandate that justified the extermination.

This was not an ethnic conflict. It was a religious cleansing.

Over 1.5 million Armenians were massacred. 750,000 Greeks. 300,000 Assyrians. Half of the entire Assyrian population of 600,000 was killed.

In her memoir, survivor Aurora Mardiganian describes what she saw in the city of Malatia:
16 Christian girls. Crucified alive. Nails through their hands and feet. Only their hair moved in the wind.

The Turks and Kurds selected - town by town, village by village - the 18 most beautiful young girls. Dragged them into a local church. Raped them on top of the Holy Gospel.

Women were driven into harems. Sold for 80 cents each.

US Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, who witnessed it with his own eyes, said:
“I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this.”

Winston Churchill called it an “administrative holocaust” - and noted that the First World War simply gave Turkey the necessary cover to do what they had apparently long wanted to do.

Talaat Pasha - the de facto leader of the Ottoman Empire - said it himself:
“Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate its internal foes - the indigenous Christians.”

This was not war. It was a planned extermination project against Christians - carried out in the name of Islam.

And today NATO ally Turkey has never been held accountable.

Not once.

This is the history they do not teach you in school.

But it is true. And it matters.

Those who do not know history - are already repeating it.❤️‍🔥✝️🪽​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
