Do you think 70s women had a softer, more classic femininity than women today?

Homer Pavlos
Homer Pavlos@HomerPavlos·
They hate Homer. They claim to love him and know him well, yet deep down they hate him. This is evident in their frenzy to alter the translations and diminish the virtues and values of the ideal man according to Homer and the Greeks. "εἷς οἰωνός ἄριστος, ἀμύνεσθαι περί πάτρης" -Homer, Iliad, Rhapsody M, line 243 "There is only one best omen: to defend your country." This phrase still lives on today in the Hellenic Armed Forces and is used by every person who feels the duty to stand and defend their country, what Homer calls the "sweet fatherland." It is the readiness to protect one's family, because family and the eternal continuation of national identity through time are of the highest importance. The words belong to Hector, who shouted them outside the walls of Troy. Homer describes the battles outside the walls as ferocious. As the Trojans were pushing the Greeks back, Polydamas saw an eagle on their left holding a bloodied serpent in its talons. The snake turned and bit the eagle, which then dropped it. (Polydamas was a brave Trojan, Hector’s comrade-in-arms and a renowned interpreter of omens, thus an advisor to the Trojans. In several places in the Iliad, Hector disagrees with him) Seeing the eagle and the serpent, Polydamas urged Hector not to advance with the chariots toward the ships on the beach, warning that those following on foot would be slaughtered. With a fierce look, Hector the helmet-shaker replied: "I do not like at all what you have said, Polydamas." Hector continues, saying that this advice from Polydamas and from Zeus through the omen, to retreat and obey because a bird flew left or right, does not please him. With a great cry he declares: "There is only one best omen: to fight in defense of your fatherland. And you, Polydamas, why do you fear war and battle? Even if we all die here, that is no cause for fear, nor is your heart cowardly so as to flee from combat. But if you run from the war or try with words to turn others away, know that you will lose your life by my spear." This saying, every time cowardice tries to seize us and cloud our minds, reminds us that we must act with courage and manliness. It reminds us that when we and our country are threatened, we owe it to give even our lives for FREEDOM. To be a patriot (a word of Greek origin) is a sign of mental health. It is Homeric and a great value. To be "apatride", that is, someone who has no sense of belonging to a country, is to be a hollow, indifferent person, devoid of the greatest Homeric virtue. It is something sad even to imagine. Humanity is heading toward an abyss with mathematical precision. Raise your children with values. Teach them to pursue moral virtues: wisdom, prudence, courage, moderation, generosity, gentleness, greatness of soul, respect, justice, and discipline. Love your country and your people but hate the traitors and those who hate you to death. Educate yourselves. Love your wife or husband, your children. Create families and live by values. This is the only true progress that can lay the right foundations so that our children may build better societies in the future. Raise them with proper role models, Homeric role models. What we are living through now is absolute decline, a dark age, the destruction of reason and of values. It is the real darkness of thought and progress, and with mathematical precision it will drive the ship onto the rocks. Nature, however, will take care of things, so do not worry. History writes itself and does not forgive. The model of pseudo-progress that wants no nations, no families, and a world full of injustices and irrationality is already failing. Even as we speak, the history books of the future are being written, the ones that will be read in a hundred years. Societies without values lead to the degradation of human dignity. They turn man into a slave and a plaything of tyrants. Homer Pavlos

“Don’t pour a pot of boiling potatoes on your spouse’s head” is a single sex neutral standard of conduct that virtually all seekers of high office of both sexes manage to meet, and that no man would be able to continue running for governor having failed to meet

To experts, it shows voters and political insiders continue to hold female candidates to higher standards than men. cal.news/4wvGtuW 📸 Ethan Swope, AP

Spencer Pratt's campaign has crystallized a political trend that started in the Trump years. The key battle, especially in local and state elections, is not actually political. It is not ideological, at all. It is a battle between normal people vs the insane, the fanatical, the willfully blind. It is a battle between the people who pay and pay and pay for everything, can't afford a vacation, and yet watch all their money pissed away on billion-dollar frauds, grift, and corrupt local officials and their NGOs and fake nonprofits. It is about people who want to improve life vs people who don't even care about their own lives. It is American citizens vs new arrivals who hate and resent them and are constantly trying to scam them and replace them. It is between the victims of criminals and junkies everywhere vs the criminals and the junkies and their protectors and patrons in government. It is about families who want to feel safe again. It is not red vs blue. It's about SURVIVAL, literally.
The Free Press@TheFP

Spencer Pratt is surging in the LA mayor’s race by saying the things voters feel but politicians won’t. “It is not symptomatic of a red wave. It is about tens or even hundreds of thousands of voters waking up from their stupor and demanding to know what the hell happened to their city. It is about the massive homeless encampments, the pockmarked freeways and crumbling sidewalks, the broken schools, the unbelievably expensive houses and, of course, the fires. It is about the breakdown in civilization and Angelenos’ desire to return to some semblance of normalcy,” writes @PeterSavodnik.
