>Decadent empire rejects its cultural legacy>Rising global hegemon embraces itThis nigga should go to china and explain them why they are wasting their time reading that crap, and why the upcoming odyssey movie, free from the white supremacism of the original work, is better than anything Homer wrote.

>>25275744Was looking into this Dan-el Padilla guy and hes much more reasonable than the rage-baity headline would imply. He does not actually want to 'knock ancient Greece and Rome off their pedestal', in the sense that he wants to get rid of it entirely. He is a classicist, obviously he cares about the classics. He rather want to universalize it, turning it from a rich kid ivy league hobby into a cultural heritage available to all (Coincidentally thats also exactly what China is doing)He is just deeply pessimistic because obviously humanities in America are indeed getting completely gutted, and he wants to preserve whats left before it all gets gutted:>Padilla recognises that universities will not last much longer in their current form. Nor will their sources of funding. The goal must therefore be to collect as many material resources as possible before these institutions collapse. Classicism and Other Phobias is written for those who can see this reality, and wish to begin strategising how to take as much as possible while the buildings are still standing

>>25275744We don't talk like niggers here.
>>25275744You yellow niggers are absolutely retarded. You think I've forgotten all the anti-white chinkaganda? Neck yourself, yiggertroon.
>>25275882Classical homeschooling probably has more students than classics has had as a major in decades, or ever. The future isn't in the research university, which is dying.
>>25275882I actually read the article (which is about a chink trying to import intersectionalist schizophrenia into Chinese universities, NOT about China "loving" the Classic) so I know what he said:>During the Q. & A., an independent scholar named Mary Frances Williams stood up to challenge the panelists. “Maybe we should start defending our discipline,” she said. The classics, after all, were the foundation of Western ideals like liberty, democracy, and freedom. Williams went on to say to Padilla Peralta, “You may have got your job because you’re Black, but I would prefer to think you got your job because of merit.” He replied that he wanted nothing to do with the vision of classics that Williams had outlined. “I hope the field dies,” he said. “And that it dies as swiftly as possible.”
