The Odyssey And The Tiresome Woke War Against White Culture<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all heard the argument for most of our lives: \u201cWhite culture doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>It\u2019s perhaps the most common racial refrain because it\u2019s the most socially acceptable to repeat. If someone said \u201cBlack culture doesn\u2019t exist because black people all herald from different tribes\u2026\u201d that person would be browbeaten as a bigot by the woke mob. When it comes to white culture, such claims are applauded.<\/p>\n

The question is, why is it okay to diminish or denigrate white culture while worshiping every other culture? <\/strong><\/em>Furthermore, if white culture doesn\u2019t exist, why are woke minority groups constantly trying to hijack white history and accomplishments?<\/p>\n

I want to explore this issue a little more deeply, mostly because of the endless targeting of western civilization through the leftist deconstruction of our most popular figures and mythologies. This time, the Hollywood elites have chosen Homer\u2019s The Odyssey, an ancient Greek classic deeply rooted in western history (white history), as their victim.<\/p>\n

Hollywood has pulled out ALL the stops for this movie and I suspect it\u2019s because they are desperate. They are desperate for a woke win. They\u2019ve had hundreds of failures both in film and television in the past few years and it\u2019s starting to look like \u201cGet Woke, Go Broke\u201d is becoming the dominant force in popular discourse. The leftists can\u2019t stand it.<\/p>\n

In response, Hollywood has stacked the deck \u2013 They brought in Christopher Nolan, one of the only directors left in the industry who still has a built-in audience of simps who will go see his movies regardless of their quality. The distributors have focused on IMAX ticket sales for a wealthier clientele, artificially inflating the overall box office take.<\/p>\n

The media has been running non-stop interference, promoting the movie heavily months in advance.<\/strong> Evidence also suggests that Rotten Tomatoes is once again rigging the audience score for this film by rejecting most negative reviews (they have done this with multiple woke tent pole movies over the years).<\/p>\n

Hilariously, journalists are already declaring The Odyssey \u201cproof\u201d that \u201cGet Woke, Go Broke\u201d is a fallacy<\/a>. As I write this, the movie hasn\u2019t made a dime in profit yet. What I find most interesting, however, is that these activist journalists are actually using the phrase \u201cGet Woke, Go Broke\u201d in their vernacular. It\u2019s an indirect admission of their agenda.<\/p>\n

They are specifically citing our movement as their enemy and declaring us \u201cdefeated\u201d because The Odyssey is projected to make money. By default, they are admitting that we are a threat to them, and that The Odyssey is a woke project designed to \u201csilence us.\u201d But why does this matter?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to understand that leftists think like children.<\/strong> They believe that having a \u201cmajority\u201d is the same as being right; having a majority to them is the same as having power. If the Odyssey is a box office success, they think this proves that they are the dominant political movement.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t care if their supposed majority is actually astroturf; if they can fool the public into thinking the political left has a social mandate, this will win them control over the culture. In other words, they\u2019re trying to manufacture a consensus.<\/p>\n

The Odyssey film is a clear salvo aimed directly at conservatives and western history. It is a multicultural travesty, a joke of a movie filled with historical inaccuracies and based on a deconstructionist translation written by a feminist academic from Oxford (Emily Wilson). The movie explicitly undermines the heroism of the story and makes Odysseus a broken man, suffering from \u201ctrauma\u201d and PTSD over his regrets of the war and his \u201ccolonist\u201d behavior.<\/p>\n

But the spurious additions to the mythology are less interesting to me than the reasons they were included.<\/p>\n

The deconstruction of Odysseus reminds me of what Kathleen Kennedy and friends at Disney did to Luke Skywalker in \u201cThe Last Jedi\u201d. <\/strong>They took a brilliant, courageous and moral man and turned him into a shattered, crusty and nihilistic little bitch \u2013 completely the opposite of his original character. This was not a mistake, this was quite deliberate.<\/p>\n

White people are not allowed to have bold, wise and confident heroes. We\u2019re supposed to regret our history and our accomplishments. We\u2019re not supposed to celebrate such things, because that might inspire us to be bold, wise and confident today.<\/p>\n

The race swapped cast of The Odyssey featuring black actors, Hispanics, Asians, and other people (including a transgender Ellen Page playing a male Greek warrior) who would never have populated Homer\u2019s era is the common angle of attack for woke Hollywood, but it\u2019s not the only attack. If a main protagonist is white, as is the case in Nolan\u2019s film, he must be torn down and made weak. He must be portrayed as shamed and desperate for redemption, which, of course, he will only receive by embracing progressive ideals.<\/p>\n

The last thing Hollywood wants is to portray a white hero who is unapologetic for his actions and values.<\/p>\n

This is the underlying woke messaging that really poisons the well when it comes to The Odyssey. The minority actors are primarily a shield from criticism. If anyone complains about African or Hispanic or Asian actors in a Greek epic, the media can pull the \u201cracism\u201d card and dismiss the issue outright. They assert that we merely hate seeing minorities in movies.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not minorities in movies that we have a problem with; it\u2019s the injection of woke propaganda.<\/strong> This is the real crime. If Christopher Nolan made a film based on the African \u201cEpic of Liyongo\u201d from the 9th<\/sup> Century and he replaced the Swahili characters with white actors in a bid to hijack African history, the left wing would lose their collective minds and scream \u201ccultural appropriation.\u201d\u00a0 The double standard is obvious.<\/p>\n

Will Odyssey make a profit? Possibly. The movie had a big first weekend, but adjusted for inflation it didn\u2019t even crack the top fifty on the list of opening weekend box office winners. The film has to make around $700 million in order to break even, not counting the 20% of the gross receipts that go to Christopher Nolan according to his contract.<\/p>\n

I am doubtful that the studio will make much money on this flick, but Hollywood will declare it a victory all the same. Firstly, because no woke movie has had similar momentum in years. And secondly, because the political left is dying and they need a very public win in order to justify their habit of doubling down on failure.<\/p>\n

Any sane and intelligent person would point out that one \u201csuccessful\u201d movie does not make up for the cemetery filled with woke box office disasters. This doesn\u2019t matter to the activist mob. They think that one win will erase all their previous losses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, The Odyssey is intended to act as a continuation of the long Marxist march towards a multicultural west and the end of white history as we know it.<\/p>\n

Homer\u2019s epic poem was composed around 2800 years ago and is one of the oldest surviving works of literature in human history. It stands as a testament to the incredible accomplishments of the western world; part of the wellspring from which the modern west poured forth.<\/p>\n

At the time The Odyssey was created, the Mediterranean was overwhelmingly Caucasian according to genetic records.<\/strong> This includes North Africa, which was majority Caucasian and largely \u201cwhite\u201d by modern standards. It should be noted that Sub-Saharan Africans did not exist in any notable quantity in North Africa or the Mediterranean until many centuries later because travel across the deserts of central Africa prevented their migration north for thousands of years.<\/p>\n

Arabs were also limited and did not occupy the region in great numbers until the invasion of the Muslim hordes long after Homer lived.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Numerous images from the ancient Greeks and Macedonians, including pottery, murals and other surviving art, depict people of fair skin, often with blue eyes, and in some cases blonde hair, etc. In other words, they were white \u2013 Varying shades of white, but still white.<\/p>\n

Simply pointing out this historical and scientific fact will immediately trigger the woke mob and their academic allies. You will be inundated with a flurry of exceptions and some tiresome mental gymnastics about why the people of these early civilizations were not really \u201cwhite\u201d. Remember, \u201cwhite culture doesn\u2019t exist\u201d, only other cultures exist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Far too many critics and historical conspiracy nuts actually think the demographics of North Africa and the Mediterranean in the time of Homer were the same as the demographics of North Africa and the Mediterranean today. They don\u2019t know anything about the great migration shifts of the Middle Ages or the invasion of the Muslims. No meaningful discussion can be had with these people because their point of reference is built on pure ignorance.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, there is another subset of dishonest people (woke leftists) who see it as their duty to undermine white history and rewrite as if it never existed. They often cater to the inferiority complexes of minority groups by asserting that white history is actually THEIR history. White people just \u201cstole\u201d accomplishments from other civilizations and replaced them over time.<\/p>\n

This is part of the narrative that motivates the discourse over Christopher Nolan\u2019s dismal film version of The Odyssey. It is a woke treatise, a magic talisman designed to brown-wash and feminize yet another piece of western heritage. It\u2019s part of a greater agenda to make white people forget who we are, or at the very least, make us ashamed of who we are.<\/p>\n

The end game? Like I said, it\u2019s about the multicultural takeover of the western world. Everything stems from this scheme. Hollywood\u2019s woke reboots are rooted in it. The mass immigration policies of leftist governments drive the agenda forward. The deconstruction of our history in public schools and colleges is designed to indoctrinate children so they never learn the truth.<\/p>\n

Until one day, we look around, and everything that makes us who we are is gone, from meritocracy to republicanism, from Christianity to critical thinking, from innovation to entrepreneurship, from individual liberty to free markets, from property to responsibility, and yes, colonialism (the act of improving third world hellholes where people are incapable of improving their own surroundings so they don\u2019t turn into pillagers trying to invade our countries).<\/p>\n

All of it replaced with a socialist purgatory in which everyone is equally pathetic, hopeless and useless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The whole conspiracy has become quite transparent and grimly boring. Luckily, one garbage movie isn\u2019t going to change the overwhelming trend, which is the slow but steady decline of left-wing insanity. Nothing they are doing is hidden from us. We see it all, and in the long run, they\u2019re going to lose. It\u2019s inevitable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
