@unbid_ @FinanceLancelot Athens tried herself while trying Socrates. The city and its democracy were first and foremost the party responsible for the accusations above.

Athens pinned their sins to Socrates, and Socrates, not Athens, decided on a death sentence.

@unbid_ @FinanceLancelot He was tried for making fathers feel embarrassed by their sons, and as a scapegoat for the failures of Athenian democracy in the war against Sparta.

The surface reasons were impiety, corrupting the youth, and introducing new, strange gods.

@unbid_ @FinanceLancelot This is a patently incorrect reading of Apology.

[Sourwood @SorrelBark]

@unbid_ @FinanceLancelot They held a trial to spook him into taming himself He spoke himself into a death sentence.

@AnemoiaAmerica There’s plenty of reasons to be wary. But England was pagan and Christian for hundreds of years before Cromwell bathed the island in blood.

In fact, they would do well to rediscover a bit of the old pagan.

@Eorlhelm Hector was a failure. This is a repeated failure of understanding Homer by Christians. He is not a virtuous loser to be revered.

@augustjsmith @AuraBeetle The increasing frequency and number of men failing to value human life above inferior species is surely a sign of suicidal tendencies.

@CJ_Urbane The payoff isn’t worth it. Most social events are a bottleneck for experiencing the same five repeated internet personalities.

@NicoleAuerbach Shhh, babe.

@ForGoodAri Always the victim.

Machiavelli whispered the closing of the Christian world long before Nietzsche shouted it.

Sometimes it seems he doubts the rule of love ever existed.

@GimmickSlop I know guys who used multi meters in AC stateside who get paid more than my uncle who was awarded a Bronze Star for saving a surviving member of his squad after their Humvee was blown up by IED and thrown into a river.

Vet worship is low IQ behavior.

@IVMiles That Strait still isn’t open.

[Sourwood @SorrelBark]

@Polymarket And still the Strait remains closed.

@Gertywood5 @KnowledgeArchiv He was not forced to drink hemlock. He talked himself into the death penalty.

Hiding behind optimism is as easy as hiding behind fear.

This is what “optimism is cowardice” means.

@VaubanBooks It’s funny when any political side runs the same gag.

It’s always worth a laugh, for example, when Vance’s hidden NGO push payments to that Canadian guy’s account and him and all his buddies fall in line.
