This fucking sophomoric cunt made half a million dollars for releasing a childish translation of a book that has been translated into English alone 800 times

What can we even do when the entire cultural and intellectual stage of our post-national non-countries is completely dominated by these nepotistic jews and their useful idiots?

it confused me as well, but this is what i've deduced:
>sententiae antiquae is opining that if he was forced to either erase the historical record of the third reich (not the actual events as they happened, just the memory of them) or the texts of homer, he would rather erase the iliad and the odyssey from our cannon than forget about the "crimes" of the nazis, as i'm sure he would call them.
>i came to think that this "man" was probably so butthurt about the existence of the nazis, that he is one of those people who says things like "we must never forget [about muh 6 gorillion roller coaster riders]"
>i also came to think that he surely must be a jew
>now you have the response of emily wilson, who is the author of a new "translation" of the odyssey (or the iliad i can't remember) which is filled with absolute bullshit, for example she translated a verse where some QWEEN calls odysseus "Mr. Foreignor" and chastises him for not allowing muslim refugees in his land, while he himself ends up a refugee (or something retarded like this, basically she shoehorns in modern politics)

Are they saying Homer and the works of classical antiquity are more damaging than Nazis? What about Homer is uniquely damaging? I don’t get it, it’s not like the Greeks are the origin of patriarchal societies, Confucianism was IMO far more patriarchal.

For all his studying of the classics, he doesn't seem to understand basic English grammar. If you read his post carefully, he clearly says he would KEEP Nazis.

Here are the choices he gives:
1. Erase Homer.
2. Erase Nazis.

He then says he would not preserve Homer, which means he would erase Homer, which means he would choose to erase Homer instead of erasing Nazis, given his two choices!

Man, it baffles how fucking stupid these people are, how they can't even make an argument in favor of something without completely fucking it up, how all their attempts to sound clever result in sophistic, illogical nonsense because they can't even keep track of their own terms.

Unless... he is based. :o
