@pureMetatron Amen!

"One nation under God". That God is Jesus, just so we are clear. Not Allah. Not Buddha. Not Shiva. Jesus Christ the king of kings. Say amen if you agree with this statement!

Baby elephants always sleep near their mothers, and they love their mothers very much 🐘♥️

@BeaChicandSmart @GadSaad Oh he can. We just need to adjust some laws. They can all be put on a transport vehicle, and sent back. There is not a law of physics that prevents it, merely a lack of public will.

@GadSaad The terrorist is of Moroccan descent, but unfortunately he was born in Italy. he can't be deported after his prison term.

Will the West ever wake up?

@rblommestijn Het is tijd voor massa-deportaties. Europa heeft niet de plicht deze beesten te verzorgen.

In het Italiaanse Modena is Salim El Koudri, een Tunesische migrant, met z’n auto op volle snelheid ingereden op een mensenmassa. Daarna stapte hij uit en begon op voorbijgangers in te steken. Minimaal twee mensen kwamen om en acht raakten gewond. “Diversiteit is onze kracht.”

@JoeyMannarino @GiorgiaMeloni Islam must be outlawed in Europe as a whole, and mass deportations must occur.

.@GiorgiaMeloni, the entire town of Modena has been rocked by Islam today. By a Moslem migrant who decided he would run people over with a car and stab people who tried to stop them. People are dead. This is because of Islam and migration. Period. If this migrant was not allowed into Italy, this attack wouldn’t have happened. People wouldn’t be dead. The woman whose legs were ripped off of her body by the impact would have her legs. Islam did this. Migration did this. Forget what the EU says. You are the leader of Italy. Ban this ideology and begin deporting people immediately. Whatever consequences must be faced, face them. We are going to lose Italy if you don’t. I understand the limitations you have because of the EU and I fully respect that… but it’s entirely irrelevant. Either you move now while you have a mandate to do so or watch as we see the Italian people live as the French, Spanish, Belgian and British are living. Islam is not compatible with Italy in the least. There is no “freedom of religion” clause in the constitution of Italy that requires the Islamic faith to be able to practice. Go scorched earth, Giorgia. I know it’s in you. The time is now. There are millions of red-blooded Italians ready to stand up and take on this fight. Let’s go! Say the word!

Another f****** African killing Europeans in their own homeland. They all need to be deported. No exceptions.

Exactly. The European civilizational tree sprouted in Greece. The philosophical traditions started with the Greek presocratics, and even the concept of the holy trinity is a continuation of neoplatonic Greek thought (Plotinus). Political thought also found its birthplace there. Old Greece was directional for larger europe. I'm from the Netherlands, we (northern europeans and southern europeans) are different, but we are two branches of the same tree, and share a common identity as European peoples. People who say this shit that greeks arent white, or that theyre not european, theyre often american or otherwise non-western, and do not understand european identity or history at all.

@sakur9510 @emilyjuniper_ Greco-Roman culture is the foundational bedrock of modern European civilization. Saying Greeks aren't white is embarassing. ALL white people have unique identities, the fact we (Greeks) have a bit longer continuation doesn't mean the rest aren't unique enought.

“White people have no culture” is a lazy lie.

@miranowhere We can not count on the other peoples of the world to extend such kindnesses to us. Instead, we must collectivize, and unapologetically assert our own existence, identity, and dominance.

Why can't the world allow white European nations to just exist on its own?

@nfassol The American fetishization of black people, and the impulse to make everything about black people, including European history, is pathological. They then export this ideology with their Netflix and Hollywood propaganda apparatus. It must not be tolerated.

Heel veel mensen zijn reactief. Ze baseren hun handelen op onmiddellijke externe stimuli. Ze vormen geen model van de wereld op basis van huidige trends, op basis waarvan ze de toekomst modelleren, ze reageren enkel op het heden. En als nu alles nog goed en leuk is, dan is dat bepalend. Uiteindelijk verenigt een massa zich, als de problemen in het onmiddellijke heden zodanig zijn dat iedereen er op zijn eigen manier last van heeft. Die realiteit zal zich dmv de spreidingswet uiteindelijk aandienen, maar waarschijnlijk moet het toch eerst erger worden voor significante collectieve actie plaats zal vinden. Maar, trends in acht genomen, is dat een kwestie van tijd, daar het er niet naar uit ziet dat de zaken zullen keren.

Wat verwachten mensen nou eigenlijk precies van de toekomst - zeg 2050 of 2080 - wanneer je net zo lang mensen blijft verwelkomen tot de islam hier verreweg de grootste religie is? Probeer je dat gewoon eens voor te stellen, want je (klein)kinderen gaan dat nog meemaken.

Netflix and Hollywood has been portraying "real persons" that were white as african for a long time. Which is what I've been arguing all along. Anne Boleyn (Tudor England queen): Portrayed by black British actress King Edward VI (King of England 1547–1553): Portrayed by black actor Queen Charlotte: Portrayed as black Do i need to fucking go on? This shit is like casting Shaka Zulu as a white man. As for the figures in Homer's Odysseus not being "real people": these stories are of cultural importance to European culture. Their appearances are described in the Sagas. Imagine taking a fucking african myth, that is fundamental to some african civilization, and having the key figures be white. This is fucking ridiculous and the fact that you defend it shows you have no shame.

@residualform @MichaelEHuck @Clint_Davey1 Shaka Zulu was a real person. next?

Christopher Nolan seems to be deliberately turning the Odyssey into a train wreck. I would propose two different directors: Mel Gibson or Robert Eggers. Mel would have the whole thing in Greek and actually have historical armour. Eggers would make it dark and mysterious, even nightmarish. In both cases it would be extremely violent, like the actual story was.

Look, if hollywood made a film about Shaka Zulu, and they cast Shaka Zulu as a white man, that would be equally as wrong. Any black person who would be against that and who would be pissed the fuck off about it, would totally have my understanding, because it lies about their history. Or, at the very least, disrespects it. So, this is not an argument about artistic freedom for me. Its about the fact that, when you take something historical, or a piece of writing that is of major cultural importance, then you owe a certain degree of integrity toward the source material. Yes, you have artistic freedom to an extent, but you dont change the fundamentals. but fuck it i spent too much time on this lol.

@residualform @MichaelEHuck @Clint_Davey1 led zeppelin can play the blues how they want and christopher nolan can film the odyssey how he wants.

@uuindouu19925 @MichaelEHuck @Clint_Davey1 Its not that deep is easy to say, because its not your culture. If it truly doesn't matter, cast a black man to play George Washington for all I care. But no, this shit is always done in the reimagining of other cultures' history.

@residualform @MichaelEHuck @Clint_Davey1 it's not that deep. nolan thought them the right actors for the role. touch grass and enjoy the film. black skin doesn't have to be your kryptonite

Hollywood, Netflix, and also American academia, they have a habit of injecting black people into European history. I don't know why Americans do this, but they do. And everybody hates it. Not even just Europeans, btw. Egyptians even sued Netflix over this exact nonsense. Everybody hates that identity-politics shit. I'm white, and im proud of my history and my ancestors, and when it concerns my history and my ancestors, i want that heritage respected. I do not want it reimagined through some ideological lens born in a sociology department, that is only motivated by social justice politics and representation. Hollywood can be trusted to film the important stories when they get back to focusing on the quality of the art, and can show some integrity toward the source material. Right now, theyre too ideologically fixated.

@residualform @MichaelEHuck @Clint_Davey1 is lars von trier gonna direct the odyssey? He has made american films, a brit can make the odyssey. grow up.

Young Muslim immigrants in Vienna: ➡️ 43% say that the West is to blame for the problems of the Islamic world ➡️ 41% say that the regulations of Islam are above the laws in Austria ➡️ 36% say that all people should abide by the rules of Islam #Islamism derstandard.at/story/30000003…

Im aware of what they are. Im a philosophy major and part of what you study there is how thought evolves over time, and where current thought comes from or finds it roots. These sagas have not been "included" as part of the Western culture, as you say, they were the very seed from which later Western thought sprouted. Via the Roman Empire (which heavily Hellenized), Byzantine preservation, and Renaissance revival, this shaped medieval and modern Europe. "Included" is a phrasing that ignores the growth process by which thoughts and culture forms itself. Yes, they are Greek sagas, obviously, in a geographic sense, in an origin sense, but they are European sagas in the phenomenological sense, meaning that these archetypes are integrated into a shared European identity, and every European understands and feels that. Your concerns about "cultural appropriation" are typically American concerns. I don't care about them very much. Even yesterday I had a discussion with a Greek about sharing a common civilization tree. The main frustration that person highlighted was that foreigner, much like yourself, would consistently find ways to seperate Greece or Greek traditions from larger Europe. It's incredibly frustrating. So yes, the Greeks call it European, I will call it European, as I understand what it is like to have a shared European identity with the other European peoples, founded on these old stories. Besides, cultural appropriation is a ridiculous concept anyhow. It's fundamentally anti-artistic. All the greatness that occurs in cultural history comes about by cultural cross-contamination. An artist from country A seeing a practice from another artist from country B, and integrating it. When Van Gogh is directly inspired by Japanese art, and allows it to influence his painting, to the point where you can literally see it, it could technically qualify as "appropriating Japanese culture". It's a dumb concept, in my humble opinion.

@residualform @Clint_Davey1 European epic is misleading and incorrect and shows a high degree of cultural appropriation. While these stories are part of western culture they are not inherently “European” and should not be referred to as such.

The Homeric stories preceded the Greek philosophical traditions. The philosophy was a continuation of the sagas and myths. The concept of the holy trinity, in turn, was a continuation of neoplatonic Greek thought (Plotinus). So, ancient Greek culture is a pillar of European identity. References permeate European art, architecture, law, politics, and education. So, these stories are not just Greek or mediterranean. These stories form an integral part of European culture, and are responsible for a sense of shared identity among European peoples, because they lie at the root of it. Europeans throughout Europe feel this very strongly.

@residualform @Clint_Davey1 Technically it’s a Mediterranean saga.

@theHellen_ The Americans fetishize blacks. It comes in all sorts of forms. From injecting black people into white history, to something simple as writing the word "black" with a capital letter (which you're also doing in your post). We should not go along with this American nonsense.

I think the USA has spoiled stupid Black people too much. In no other Western country do such idiots hold positions like this in the media or in cinema.

Our Ancestors, the ancient Greeks primarily called sub-Saharan Africans and other dark-skinned peoples south of Egypt Aithiopes, or Ethiopians. The word literally means burnt-faced or burnt-skin people, from aithō meaning to burn and ops meaning face. They used it because of the much darker skin caused by the intense southern sun. Homer first mentioned them as mythical tribes at the edges of the world. Herodotus described real Aithiopes living south of Egypt in Nubia and Kush, noting their dark skin and woolly hair, and clearly separated them from the lighter North African Libyans. The term became the standard catch-all for sub-Saharan Africans. These Aithiopes played no role whatsoever in creating Greek civilization. Greek culture arose from local Neolithic peoples in the Aegean, Indo-European migrants, and nearby influences from Anatolia and the Near East through ordinary trade. Greeks saw Aithiopes as distant, exotic outsiders with almost no contact until long after the main foundations of their civilization were already in place. There is zero archaeological, genetic, linguistic, or historical evidence that sub-Saharan Africans founded, colonized, or meaningfully shaped Greek language, cities, philosophy, art, or institutions. Any later interactions were minor and one-way, with Greek culture reaching Africa rather than the reverse. So no, the Hellenic civilization was not invented in any shape or form by Africans. Anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant of the evidence or pushing an agenda.

@catb0mb its super unprofessional

is this not really unprofessional
