@DanFriedman81 It is entirely seemly for a young man killed in battle to lie mangled by the bronze spear. In his death all things appear fair. But when dogs shame the gray head and gray chin and nakedness of an old man killed, it is the most piteous thing that happens among wretched mortals.
@woke8yearold You talk about it like it happened to them but its largely their own fault. Like how Americans responded to the 1929 crash by voting for FDR, it managed to continue it all the way until ww2
@cljack The only real issue with Roberts is he's a bit too deferential to his subject. Theres a bit of Scarface to Napoleon which you'd never realize from Roberts
@BaldingsWorld The state deliberately reducing domestic consumption is quite a trick. I don't know how long they'll be able to get away with it. Maybe the bursting of the property bubble will losen their grip
@ImperfectIncel What's even crazier is they have a massive gender imbalance because they abort girls. So plenty of guys literally have no chance with a real Chinese woman
@jonh1229436 If theres anything studying the interwar period taught me its that NATO is, for all its faults, a massive upgrade over tge mess that came before it.
@Knightly_Hist Chris seriously needs to get back to adapting his brothers works or at least having him do the screenwriting. Inception, Tenet, Oppenheimer & The Odyssey. That's 2 good but not great movies, Tenet and a genuine stinker. Night & day with what came before.
@tkulogo@spqr_sulla Yeah id be interested in hearing what crows, elephants and border collies have to say. Very few other animals have complex thoughts
