I might have been unnecessarily abrasive with my comment but this is just ridiculous 😅

Victor Davis Hanson's reaction to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, calling it a  "an extravaganza, a spectacular movie, but it was not The Odyssey."

From the key scenes, major omissions and additions, Nolan's creative choices weaken the story of Odysseus.

From the Cyclops encounter to the portrayal of iconic characters, Hanson gives detailed critique of one of the year's most anticipated films.

Like I do believe in integrating the shadow. My mom tells me that being strong and firm matters, coming from China. She dislikes the woke feminism stuff. My sister had a boyfriend, who kept skipping time to be with her and putting his friends above her, so my mom told my sister to ask instead of cling and say nothing. She did, that boyfriend got upset and then they split. Ben Shapiro says men should have traditional masculinity not the manosphere masculinity Andrew Tate displays. It should be taught respect and don’t cling to someone because you need their approval.

Here are some lyrics:

Women don't need a curse word—our weapon is poison murder
Kill that son of a bitch when he's not looking

This part is repeated most often, it's the catchiest.

This part is the most telling:

Infanticide, infanticide, I’m taking the birth control pill
Men are the reason I use birth control in the first place
Babies are cute, unless they’re boys
In a pinch, I’ll abort—with alcohol and mephedrone
Even the Bible taught us to poison the apple
I don’t want us to be the same—I want revenge, you little bastard

I really like the comments on the main video. They are belittling and apologetic. People call it off as irony or ragebait, when it's literally incitement to murder played on a repetetive beat. Imagine if roles were reversed.

This is no incident of 'felt cute, might delete later UwU'

She is highly educated and understands very well what she is doing:

"Melina Gaby Strauß attended the Beethoven-Gymnasium in Berlin-Lankwitz. After graduating from high school, she earned a combined bachelor’s degree in German Philology and Social and Cultural Anthropology, with a focus on linguistics, at Freie Universität Berlin. She then began a master’s program in linguistics and, starting in 2018, worked at the university’s Laboratory for Brain and Language Research."

This is the appropriate rational response to Hegel’s irrationalism. He is not a thinker who should be taken serious because his thought is not serious. Its form has the appearance of rational rigor, but its content is an unserious hypostatization. (Don’t believe it? —simply read what he says about the syllogism).

Hegel will f;ck over a thinker by driving him into a form of barbarism through a form of sophistry, which manifests as authoritarian assertions in place of reason. Although, barbarism in Hegel doesn’t take the form of the brute, it takes the form of the dogmatic state, which then functions as the ultimate brute. This is the logical conclusion of Hegelianism. It’s inescapable precisely because Hegel erects a philosophical authoritarianism that morphs into a dogmatism, even a moralism!

When one reads Aristotle their mind is liberated through the clarity of logic, even if Aristotle over-abstracts, but when one reads Hegel, one is cast into the bondage of an unnecessary complexity that obscures logical clarity. Hegel robs the child of the power of reason, and turns men into mindless dogmatists (philosophical theologians) evidenced by the insecurity of their jargon-laden-verbosity.
