@giraffeinoffice @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu No I have always distinguished "settlers" from immigration. You simply think Russians moving to Estonia is different from normal immigration for reasons you have yet to articulate.
English
@Todd_Toddleston @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu The Russian majority settled the lands of others and the people of those lands didn't have the sovereignty to actually control who was able to come in or not.
That's the Soviet cover I'm talking about.
Post collapse you can see actual self-determination.
English
@giraffeinoffice @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu The Russians were not "settlers". They were internal immigrant of the Soviet Union, because the Baltics were part of the USSR.
"Settler" is not a synonym for "person who moves somewhere".

@Disyouskol @riddic99 @valuesauce @OldRowSwig I already explained that. I'm not sure what you're missing.

Every single review I’m seeing on 𝕏 is wildly negative… so what’s going on here?

‘THE ODYSSEY’ jumped up to 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. One of the highest rated blockbusters of the decade. Read our review: bit.ly/OdysseyDF

@metr0_booming @ankitsingh1304 @cickedc @JamesSurowiecki It's very much white lol.
The Spanish and Portuguese started colonialism which birthed our modern conception of race.

No - that's an actor playing an ancient Greek warrior.

This is an ancient Greek warrior according to Christopher Nolan.

@Goldhoratron @bigmonkeong Are you an actual retard or did you not read all the information posted above? The IMAX’s in my city are fully booked till mid august.
English
okay lets rip the bandaid off
the movie is beloved by both critics and audiences
the movie is smashing all kinds of box office records
you racist transphobic pieces of shit that have been hiding behind "historical accuracy" to push your bigoted views have utterly lost

‘THE ODYSSEY’ is now tracking to pass $257M in its worldwide opening weekend. Biggest opening ever for a Christopher Nolan film.
English
@Jetbronw @bigmonkeong And? Let's just make Moana white because the movie has lava demons. Lol
English
@bigmonkeong "Historical accuracy" and there's a cyclops in the film.

@Gravezord @BlackLabelAdvsr @DiscussingFilm My biggest frustration is why the hell do conservatives act like diversity is a bad thing? Equality, inclusivity and diversity are good moral values that are worth celebrating. Rev Martin Luther King, Rev Mariann Budde and Princess Diana are all examples of why diversity matters.

@Banglaphile @DrewPavlou That's idiotic. They're white like the Spanish and the Portuguese that created modern race.
English
@DrewPavlou Only northwestern europeans are “white.” Greek people are mediterraneans.
Is your individualism strong enough that you would disown your parents for being “racist?” Those are the white people.
English
Greek people are obviously white

Ben Shapiro says Greeks are not White as he glazes the multiracial cast of The Odyssey (2026)

"Are Greeks white?" is one of those questions that separates casual racists from elite race scientists

@el_norteno_ @deathbarontweet @JamesSurowiecki There are many other examples of people caring. Like Avatar (Airbender).
It doesn't matter if Arabs didn't care about one movie.
English
@deathbarontweet @JamesSurowiecki Nah, the Arabs aren't complaining, they know it's a work of fiction and everyone can use his own medium to tell his version of the story.
English
@vertexProviderS @ToujoursToubon @bytesizedbits1 @JamesSurowiecki Do you think they had airlines dropping slaves from across the world or something?
What kind of dumb reason is this? 🤣
English
@ToujoursToubon @bytesizedbits1 @JamesSurowiecki Greeks owned slaves? It's not that far fetched they had small percentage of different ethnicities.
And it's a movie anyway.
English
@ankitsingh1304 @cickedc @JamesSurowiecki Greeks look like the Spanish and Portuguese that infiltrated the Americas. Still white.
English
@cickedc @JamesSurowiecki No, the color of the Greeks was different from that of the English infiltrators you infiltrated into America.

@renaissancepe20 @KirillChernysh6 @Cincinnati_Son @abundancechud @romanhelmetguy Ok. And?
If you want to recruit select top researchers that's fine but the universities should be focused on domestic students.
That's what China does lol.

@giraffeinoffice @KirillChernysh6 @Cincinnati_Son @abundancechud @romanhelmetguy We educated people in the 1940s, Albert Einstein still mogged them.

There’s one simple trick our elites don’t want you to know that would ensure every PhD from CMU stays in America: Educate fucking Americans.

kimi’s founder & ceo got his phd at cmu. why didn’t he stay in america?!
English
@Todd_Toddleston @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu I made the settler distinction first and then you tried to conflate it with normal immigration to a sovereign country lol
You're doing the "but Palestinians sold their land" type of argument. Context matters.
English
@giraffeinoffice @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu You argument here is indistinguishable from MAGA’s low-IQ “why are you against Zionism, I thought you loved immigration” schtick
English
@Todd_Toddleston @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu We're not talking about hypothetical immigrants to Palestine...
These Russians aren't immigrants, anyways. They settled under the cover of Soviet policy.
At one point there were more Russians in Kazakhstan than actual Kazakhs.
Fortunately for everyone, the USSR died.
English
@giraffeinoffice @kai_von_hessen @basedassad69 @ZendeRRRRR @thebuttfucker69 @underdejahvu Even if it were 100% it wouldn’t make a difference. “Settler” is not a description of where a person lives. If they were simply immigrating to Palestine, we’d call them immigrants instead.
English
@Disyouskol @riddic99 @valuesauce @OldRowSwig That's how it's used. 🤷♂️
The anti-European aspect is the double standard we talked about before.
English
@giraffeinoffice @riddic99 @valuesauce @OldRowSwig Since fucking when? Also what’s anti European about a movie with a majority white cast?

@ZaixinP @signulll @paularambles You couldn't ascertain that he believes him starting the company in the US would benefit the US?
English
@signulll @paularambles For talent like this, a visa is never a issue. They just don't want to start a business in the US, they want to do it in China. Is there a problem with that?
English
@Magbonck3j @signulll @paularambles Do you think this guy holds those options?
You're arguing with someone in your head.
English
@signulll @paularambles Lmaooo should he now? Because he founded kimi he’s no longer an unwanted immigrant that’s taking a job away from Americans. You can’t have it both ways please.
English
@chuckneely14 No. But the culture and STEM pipelines in the US are atrocious even compared to Europe.
Look at the production of top mathematicians between the US and Europe.

the piece of paper is what made him smart. americans are beyond help at this point.
