    I think this is a bit more apt. But point approved 👍🏼

  2. All the Spartans in that pass died and a few hundred years later Sparta itself was gone. The “historical ruins of Sparta” are reputed to be the world’s worst tourist trap which involves a multi-hour bus ride from Athens to see what amounts to a “Sparta Was Here” bronze plaque.

    So I really kind of hope MAGA go the way of the Spartans.

    That’s still off character. He was deformed and unable to fit the fighting standard but still his heart was there. Maga is just shit through and through

    Yup the Tardy Brigade in ICE getting wiped out by actual ice thinks they’re going to do something strategical.

  5. Compulsory military service for all men from a young age.

    Even as adults, lived mostly in communal mess halls.

    Their entire lives dedicated to service of the state.

    Saw accumulation of wealth as softness and degeneracy. Periodically even the very CONCEPT OF MONEY was outlawed, instead they used barter.

    Sparta was authoritarian as f*ck, yes.

    But are we’re sure they were authRIGHT?

  6. At least the traitor in 480 BCE had to hike a mountain; now you just click ‘share’ and call it tactical genius

    Ephialtes had to live with the betraal; MAGA streanms it live and calls it patritism progress is just faster delivery of the same shame
