Paulina Mangubat is who runs @TheDemocrats account. She’s 30, unmarried with no kids. Put your name on it next time. This is what a sad, unhappy, female Liberal looks like. It’s why Pew reports 50% of them have been diagnosed with a mental condition.

One of the greatest cultural crimes in Greek history happened in Sparta. In the 1730s, the French scholar Michel Fourmont was sent by the French crown to Greece. His mission was to copy ancient inscriptions and document classical antiquities. What he left behind in Sparta was one of the most shameful acts in the history of archaeology and a crime against the Greek culture and history. Fourmont fabricated more than 1,200 inscriptions, many of them obvious forgeries that mixed impossible names, anachronistic formulas, and linguistic errors. To create the appearance of authenticity, he ordered the destruction of ancient Spartan structures and artifacts. Marble blocks covered with authentic inscriptions were deliberately shattered. Priceless originals were smashed so that his fakes could take their place in scholarly collections. Sparta, already reduced to ruins after centuries of neglect, still retained rare physical traces of its legendary past. Entire categories of authentic Spartan texts, possibly unique in the Greek world, vanished forever. For decades, his fabricated inscriptions were cited as serious evidence. Scholars built theories on lies. It took until the 20th century, particularly through the rigorous work of epigraphists like Louis Robert, for the full scale of the fraud to be exposed. By then the damage was irreversible. Today, Michel Fourmont is remembered as a man who came to study Sparta, my homeland, and instead silenced it. His actions represent one of the greatest cultural crimes in Greek history. The deliberate erasure of a civilization’s material memory, dressed up as scholarship. In a letter to Count Maurepas, Fourmont boasts that he destroyed the inscriptions so that they would not be copied by a future traveler: "For over 30 days now - 30, 40, even 60 workers - have been dismantling, destroying, erasing the city of Sparta. I have only 4 single towers left to demolish… For the moment, I am occupied with the destruction of Sparta’s last antiquities. You understand what joy I feel. But Mantinea, Stymphalia, Tegea, and especially Nemea and Olympia deserve to be thoroughly uprooted. I’ve made many expeditions in search of the ancient cities of this land, and I’ve destroyed several. Among them Troezen, Hermione, Tiryns, half the acropolis of Argos, Phliasia, Pheneos… I have entered Mani. For six weeks now, I’ve been occupied with the total destruction of Sparta. By tearing down its walls, its temples, leaving not a stone upon a stone, I will make even its location unknown in the future, so that I can be the one to make it known again. That way, I will glorify my journey. Is that not something? Sparta is the fifth city I have destroyed. I am now occupied with the destruction of the deepest foundations of the temple of Amyklaean Apollo. I would have destroyed other ancient sites just as easily, if only I had been allowed to. I completely demolished the tower. Of the travelers who came before me, I don't recall a single one daring to demolish towers and other large buildings!" According to the information he himself provides, in Sparta alone he paid for 1.200 daily wages to demolish the monuments and buildings that still survived. Fourmont was then planning to move on to Olympia, a visit he had actually scheduled. But fortunately, he was recalled to France and left Greece. The barbarity and the damage caused by the Frenchman were irreparable. As a Greek from Laconia, I wish that this inhumane barbarian, may never rest in peace.

@CharlAikaterine Turks are not colonizers. They are the descendants of Anatolian-Caucasian population who were first Helenized (1st millenium BC) then Christianized (1st millenium AD) and then Turkified and Muslimized (2nd millenium AD). They are the same people.

If Canada is an illegitimate 'colonial project,' then so is Turkey. The Ottomans took the region only 44 years before the first part of Canada (Newfoundland) was claimed by the Kingdom of England, and Turkey is the successor state to the Ottomans. Better yet, Canada's colonizers never stole any infrastructure, unlike the Ottomans, who did with the Hagia Sophia, a sacred and monumental Byzantine Christian cathedral built in 537 CE by Emperor Justinian I. This Church was one of the greatest engineering and architectural achievements of the ancient world: a massive dome, an innovative design, and the center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity for nearly 1,000 years. The only reason Turkey has its ancient, grand vibe today is because the Ottomans seized, preserved, and repurposed what the Christian Byzantines and earlier Romans and Greeks had built, most famously converting Hagia Sophia and countless churches into mosques, while reducing the original Christian population to second-class dhimmi status, subjecting them to restrictions, special taxes, and periodic persecution, and eventually driving most of them out altogether. In contrast, in the region now Canada, the British and French settlers encountered no comparable infrastructure. No cathedrals, no stone cities, no aqueducts, no large-scale administrative buildings, no writing systems, no wheeled vehicles, no iron metallurgy, and so on. We cleared forests, built farms, towns, roads, ports, railways, and institutions from scratch on a landscape with low population density (only ~200,000 Indigenous people in the entire region) and pre-state-level tribal societies. The Indigenous people were not treated by the settlers as the dhimmi were treated by the Ottomans. Instead, they were granted exclusive reserves where White settlement was legally prohibited, treaty rights, and a distinct legal status designed to protect them from full demographic absorption by the settler majority. The exclusive demonization of the British and French settlers of Canada, and of the British in other parts of the Anglosphere, speaks volumes about what makes a country's claim valid in the eyes of the world. Those conquerors who are abusive, merciless, without compassion, devoid of merit in producing the fruits of civilization, and so on, are idealized, and their claims are considered legitimate, while those who dare to take the opposite path are heretically condemned as 'original sinners' by their own States. The Turks do not apologize for the Conquest of Istanbul (May 29, 1453). Each anniversary, they celebrate the fall of the Byzantines with official events, mehter bands, parades, fireworks, official speeches, and national Islamic pride, framing it as a glorious achievement for their people.

Christopher Nolan could have cast Doukissa Nomikou, a Greek actress and model. In 2015, she performed in the Greek theatrical production "Trojan War", in the role of Helen, the Queen of Sparta known as "Beautiful Helen". But, he decided to destroy his own career.
