Tolerating decline is a choice.

@bxrtier @DSA_Watch *toO retarded 🤓

how are you people to retarded to understand that hitlers way of speaking and tactics in his speeches is not only one of the main reasons he was able to rise to power but also is used across the political spectrum. a hitler style rant is also a churchill style rant, a stalin style rant, a lenin style rant, a joe biden style rant, a trump style rant and so on

@Tor_Barstad @pensandpoison Betraying their master doesn’t deserve death, but courting Penelope does? Seems sexist

@pensandpoison > colonial invader People of Troy would presumably share that assessment, and it's not clear to me they'd be wrong. And call me woke if you like (everything is relative), but killing those 12 female slaves was not a nice thing to do if you ask me.

In her introduction to her Odyssey translation, Emily Wilson calls Odysseus a “soldier with a traumatic past” and a “colonial invader.” Stop going after Christopher Nolan. His cowardly Odysseus is simply a reflection of this godawful biased translation he read.

@MankindVsModFem anything women do they don’t want to own is the fault of ‘the patriarchy’

Up to 10% of American women 18-25 are prostitutes - drug dealers selling vasopressin and prolactin for cash - while almost 100% of women over 25 blame men for porn. This is the SAME MODEL as drug dealing. Why do women blame the dealer for drug use, but the addict for porn?

@pureMetatron “Can’t believe this is just World War 1”

Odysseus saying “our age of bronze is collapsing” was probably the stupidest line in the entire movie. It would be like a Medieval man saying “the Middle Ages are almost over”. Middle of what? It’s the PRESENT to them!!!

@Howlingmutant0 Can't deport illegals - they could be Greek gods

I think The Odyssey is about the idea that if your guests are disruptive and overstay their welcome you’re allowed to slaughter them en masse

@TheAliceSmith only when a straight white male Adapting a ‘girlboss’ that way would be novel

At this point, the self-doubting, morally grey, guilt-ridden hero has to be the biggest cliche out there. But it is fascinating how traditional heroism has become such a target to the postmodern Left.

@Panagiotou90St Nolan not only brought in Sinon from Virgil’s Aenid to replace Achilles in the underworld He totally changed Sinon - no longer cousin of Odysseus, nor a veteran warrior who talked his way back out of Troy and lived, but a weak victim to guilt Odysseus

Cicero had a far better philosophical understanding of the Odyssey than Nolan. Odysseus’ denial of immortality and eternal youth, just like encountering Achilles in the underworld, and the scene where he and the ghost of his mother tried and failed to embrace each other would have been cinematic gold. Apparently, Nolan cared more about fabricating an entire side-narrative to portray Odysseus in the most negative light he has ever been portrayed in a movie.

@Templarpilled if only he had a mentor like Mentor

"It's you, Odysseus. You are the Sea People!" "I'm just a simple man making my Odyssey through this Bronze Age."

@ClownWorld not just any gay cruise gay flight attendants

A gay cruise with nearly 2,000 passengers got turned away by Turkey, then turned away again at its backup stop in Egypt One passenger went on camera blaming Trump for it, saying countries now feel “emboldened” to show “prejudice” Turkey banned Pride marches back in 2015. Egypt has been prosecuting people under morality laws for over a decade. This has been the reality the entire time. Blaming an American president is easier I guess 🤦‍♂️

@jarvis_best @bendreyfuss it’s all Greek to me 🤷‍♂️

@bendreyfuss Like you could just read the poem. It’s fine to read the poem.

“Let’s make a movie that people can’t relate to!”

@ScottGreenfield so 90% unharmed?

Anyone who uses "begs the question" like this should be decimated.

@RaymondArroyo @odysseymovie Sinon (Page) was a veteran warrior and spy who talked his way back out of Troy and lived in Vigil’s Aenid Nolan made Simon a weak victim to guilt trip Odysseus

Second thoughts on @odysseymovie: Nolan has stripped Odysseus of his cunning and crafty logic- he is a warrior riddled with guilt and self loathing. It makes for a dreary ride. And yes there is a feminist overlay: Every woman in the piece are all wise, and the men are quite literally depicted as “pigs”. And for all the talk of epic, grand filmmaking the movie felt spare to me. Huge in scope, lacking anything of visual interest to fill the IMAX screen with. Watch the scenes with Charlize Theron and Damon when he is under the Sea nymph, Calyspo’s spell. Scenically, they mope along flat beach scapes with Theron wearing a net. Ditto for the “dragons” that attack Odysseus and his men. No telling what these things are. Even the fall of Troy looked cut rate (the paper mache towers flopping over!). The Costumes also felt like they were picked up at the Athens Spirit Halloween. Perhaps it was the hype and absurdly fawning reviews that sold what is a mid- level film as a masterpiece. Should it beat box office expectations a special Oscar should be awarded to Universal’s publicity and marketing departments for Best Supporting Sales Job of a Mediocre Movie.

@asophiething literally true because based on polling Just like % who identify as MAGA

It’s hard to keep up with what is considered “outdated language” when there’s a woke lexicon emergency patch every three days 😩 Poor Mia lol

@mike_frags not Nolan’s Odyssey that would be anti-migrant

Interesting. Does the Odyssey say anything about strangers who abuse their hosts’ hospitality?

@fandompulse Strawman version of Ben Shapiro Didn’t argue ‘Greeks aren’t White’ but that at the point casting is broadening from just Greeks to all Whites, he finds it less defensible to hold that line and exclude non-Whites

Ben Shapiro defends Lupita Nyong'o being cast in The Odyssey as Helen of Troy on the grounds "Greeks aren't white": “If you want to make the case everybody needs to be Greek to be authentic, I think you can make that case. If you want to make the case everybody has to be white, I think that that is a lesser case, because white people and Greek are not quite the same thing.” Do you agree with him?

@hasanthehun Special relationship is Israel being America’s Iron domme

i know we have a “special relationship” w israel but how are more americans not angry every day about the transparent ways in which israel violates whatever us sovereignty remains?

@DStrungk @Steve_Sailer @art_pleb Oppenheimer won under DEI rules Best Picture is only required to meet 2 of 4 criteria and 3 are off-screen

@Steve_Sailer @art_pleb Rules for eligibility.

Has anybody actually come up with a theory of how the Diversity Casting in "The Odyssey" makes the movie better? So far, all I've heard from defenders is that they HATE everybody who finds it distracting and damaging to suspension of disbelief.

@yhdistyminen Nolan wanted controversy Would have been simple to say Page wasn’t Achilles without explaining he pulled in Simon from Virgil’s Aenid

It seems like the film's advertising did basically everything right. There was no "muh diversity" or "decolonizing the Odyssey" or whatever, just regular casting that prioritized talent rather than race/gender ID/etc. Didn't matter, the chuds still pissed themselves with anger

@GMErectheus @LovecraftianRye Name a Chinese historical epic filmed with an equally diverse cast?

@LovecraftianRye Every culture across history has done that.

The Odyssey isn’t woke; Chris Nolan is just continuing the pre-Obama idea of being race-blind and focusing on acting ability. Right-wing influencers are the ones infected with the woke-mind virus; they see it behind every bush and get triggered. In reality Nolan is just someone from twenty years ago trying to make a good film.
