Low Key

The funniest part of the election was this guy talking to Elon Musk about pooping on Mark Cuban.

@IdaHourr @PopCulture2000s That makes sense for you.

@PopCulture2000s 💯

@jondelarroz @JoshuaLisec Exactly.

@JoshuaLisec Hey guys they shot Charlie Kirk and celebrated it, but they made a heckin' good movie and I'm gonna let you know because that's totally reasonable!

who needs the libs when you've got Con Inc smh

@StephenSeanFord It’s a bloated and overrated bore IMO. Only a handful of open world games aren’t boring.

so is it time for me to finally play assassin’s creed odyssey?

@TakedownMRAs @JoeySalads You literally have pronouns in your bio.

@Low_Key_Low_Key @JoeySalads What is it with right wingers and this incessant need to tell everyone they're the dumbest fucking people alive 🤷‍♂️

The Odyssey will be a successful film for many reasons, but it will make significantly less money than it would have if it wasn't woke.

@TakedownMRAs How much you want to bet his next movie makes over a billion?

Mel Gibson's last film made less than $50 million in its entire theatrical run

@buccocapital Not having IP laws would be one of the most chaotic, idiotic, stupidest, and self destructive things this county could do. You are fucking retarded.

IMHO you lose the right to complain about your IP being stolen/distilled if your IP is built on the stolen collective IP of humanity.

@JamesDissent You are truly retarded. Thank you.

@Low_Key_Low_Key What’s your point, dipshit?

And today’s version of Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it, owner by Elon is the fakest version of all. About 90% of content is paid far right accounts doing engagement farming and rage baiting, like this stupid Odyssey hate campaign. A bunch of losers with an agenda

@MsMelChen Your post reads like it’s written by someone who does not understand we are in fact at war for the soul of Western Society. What matters is they will push far more woke rot on all of us if the movie financially successful and you do not seem to care.

The preemptive boycotts of Nolan’s Odyssey in the name of anti-wokeness mirror the very spirit conservatives have long opposed. For more than a decade, we’ve endured a string of disappointing movies because contemporary progressivism hardened into secular puritanism. Like earlier moral reform movements, it demanded public confessions of orthodoxy, ritual purification of “problematic” elements, and the cancellation of dissenters. In institutional Hollywood, this took the form of explicit inclusion quotas, sensitivity training, revised awards criteria, and the systematic prioritization of identity-based messaging over coherence, character, or dramatic tension. The result was formulaic, risk-averse storytelling. The consequences have been plain to see - a string of commercially and critically disappointing projects, such as the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, which sacrificed the original’s anarchic, character-driven comedy for heavy-handed gender-reversal premises and “girl power” framing. Any deviation from the diversity agenda was treated as ideological transgression, so films devolved into exercises in ticking representational checkboxes. However, the right’s reflexive boycotts now punish perceived deviations from “correct” representation, even when they come from directors who have largely stayed outside progressive orthodoxy. The result is a narrowing of the imaginative space in which ambitious, large-scale work can even be attempted without immediate partisan judgment. The classics are not static relics sealed in amber. They are living testaments to the human imagination - palimpsests on which successive generations have inscribed their own visions while preserving continuity. Homer’s Odyssey itself stands as the fountainhead of a long tradition of bold reinterpretation. Virgil refracted its wanderings into Rome’s founding myth in the Aeneid; Dante recast Ulysses as a restless seeker damned for intellectual hubris in the Inferno; and Tennyson, in his stirring dramatic monologue “Ulysses,” transformed the hero into a Victorian emblem of indomitable will and existential longing: “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Mythic archetypes possess a remarkable elasticity. They can absorb new cultural dimensions, philosophical depths, and formal narrative experiments precisely because they resonate with timeless human truths - mortality, homecoming, cunning, and the boundless sea of experience. Yet when conservatism curdles into closed-mindedness, it inoculates artists against the very openness they need to engage their own moment in history with sincerity and courage. Conservatives who cling to reflexive suspicion should remember that genuine artistic greatness requires the openness they sometimes reject; pre-judging work before it is experienced only ensures the mediocrity they claim to oppose.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Exactly correct.

Zendaya is in everything because she represents the world they are trying to build.

@IterIntellectus It’s also because a lot of commentators simply want the culture war to continue for their own personal gain.

one could try to explain that this is a matter of principle. that it’s an insult to everything the odyssey represents. that these people were cast with the sole intent of humiliating western culture and demonstrating that nothing sacred has to be treated with fidelity or respect. but they wouldn’t understand. the concepts of honor, principle, virtue, inheritance, respect are completely foreign to them. they cannot begin to understand why these casting choices invalidate every other artistic choice and make the movie utter garbage before you even watch it, so there’s no point arguing. they will eat their bread, watch their circuses, eat the bugs, live in their pods, watch the insulting movie and like it, plug themselves into the goonverse and be happy. but if you understand those words, and you understand why these casting choices were made, there may still be a future for you.

@clairlemon Wait until you find out about how left wingers constantly threaten the author of Harry Potter.

I honestly can't believe that conservatives--of all people--are angry about a blockbuster, mass-market film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey that is getting rave reviews by critics & audiences alike. 🙃

@BarstoolNate It’s actually woke propaganda and objectively so. You know this and any honest person that isn’t retarded knows this, but please continue to act like you don’t understand this.

Every reply I read I'm more astonished that they walk amongst us. It's just a movie bro. You buy your ticket. You buy your popcorn. You buy a water for the fake handicapped person in the wheelchair next to you. It's just a movie, bro. It's just a movie.

@clairlemon Hi Claire. There’s this thing called the suspension of disbelief that is completely lost in the woke casting and American accents. When did you become this retarded?

The pettiness of people complaining that The Odyssey lacks 'realistic' casting. My dude, it has a one-eyed monster who sucks soldiers' heads like lollipops and a witch who strokes men's heads until they turn into pigs. Realism isn't the point.

@theallinpod @DavidSacks OpenAi and Anthropic need to go public soon so all of their investors can get their money. Then AI gets nationalized.

@kylenabecker That’s actually and unironically kinda fascist.

IT'S OFFICIALLY A BLACKOUT. CNN joins ABC, CBS, and NBC boycotting Trump's national address on election security. That tells you everything you need to know about how BAD elections really are in America.

@Anc_Aesthetics Does anyone remember that video that went viral on here during the 2020 election where one of China’s leaders stated out loud that it will be good for China if Biden wins?

If Democrats had any self-awareness they might be wondering why our second biggest adversary's big move to destroy our country was just helping elect Democrats.

@ArtemisConsort It also literally reduces crime, despite what “Uptown Schizo” says.

Execution permanently incapacitates that criminal, and would be much cheaper than life in prison if not for all the legal obstacles your side put in its path. If someone commits, for example, murder-rape, the taxpayer shouldn’t feed them for life.

@libsoftiktok They need to be fired.

BREAKING: Fort Worth Police Chief Eddie Garcia ADMITS that his officers were "wrong" after we exposed multiple Ft. Worth police violating Christians' Free Speech rights. He now claims he is taking "accountability" by giving 1st Amendment refresher training to officers. "The way that we were describing what is lawful, what is not lawful... we were wrong in the manner in which we communicated that. Certainly, we're going to take accountability for it." These officers have already violated people's rights. They should be relieved of duty immediately. 📹 @wfaa
