[Brand New Ancient:] The Myth of the Left Wing Odyssey.
Original title: "Did Emily Wilson Rewrite The Odyssey?"
LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e665ldFOOBU
The question being asked here is not whether or not it would even be hypothetically possible to make Homer "left wing" through a mere act of translation… the question is, instead, whether or not Emily Wilson has already done it.
And, yes, if I get married to Emily Wilson, I will be bound (as a matter of duty and honor) to get all of those same tattoos inscribed upon myself (for reasons I have recently explained in an entirely earnest comedy video). Inevitably, of course, her marriage to Marco Roth ended in divorce, precisely because they didnt' share the same tattoos.
And yes, BTW, I am indeed insinuating that the perception of her translation as "left wing" is entirely a shadow cast by the prejudice against her appearance —most certainly including her tattoos. Not that I can see anything left wing about her particular taste in tattoos: we are living on a planet on which Mike Tyson has portraits of both Mao Zedong and Che Guevara permanently etched upon his body. Frankly, he would have been better off getting married to Emily Wilson.

Immigration & Evolution: Alternatives to Racism.
This is a modest proposal for the total reform of systems of immigration in the Decadent West, with an unhealthy emphasis on the examples of Finland and Canada. The theory of evolution is not racist: immigration policy is racist and always has been.

[Other voices:] The Terrorists of Khalistan: Canadian Politicians Are Still Dancing with the Ghosts of this Independence Movement.
The first few minutes of this video are, admittedly, rather boring, however, if you either fast forward or endure, the ensuing anecdotes about daily life during the period of the insurgency (circa 1988 to 1993) are extremely important and interesting.
He explicitly compares the effects of the social control exerted by "the men with AK-47s" to the Taliban, e.g., threatening (and later shooting) a school teacher to try to compel the female students to wear more conservative uniforms (although the style of dress reflects a Sikh tradition, in this case, rather than an Islamic one).
The extent of the ignorance of Canadian politicians in getting entangled with the Khalistan independence movement is unproven and unknown —and I do not here mean the politicians of any one party only, but all Canadian politicians in general since 1984. The attitudes of those who were not ignorant may be more difficult to understand than those who were.

I note for the record that the original title of the video I'm linking to was, Row over Diljit Dosanjh’s Satluj, Khalra, and the bloodied years that took Punjab there[.] This is an unbelievably boring title that likely would have led to the video being ignored.
