Caesar an Niro are an influence in themselves, you end up pigeon holed again depending on what source you've read from either side "lol" caesar pioneered the divide and Conquer we have now, Nero decided "fuck it, burn it all and start again" Is it better to indoctrinate a nation as opposed to wiping it out and starting again? I just can't get my head around it

Couldn't agree more. I just cant understand why people who claim to be "woke"/"based" haven't got a fucking clue what's happening? There has to be a debate about red v blue, right v left, I did hope that (people capable of thought withouth influence from outside their own heads) those would grow out of the division but it seems they're just getting deeper, we are heading in the same direction as Rome, I want to laugh but its fucking terrifying

What a reply, I always used diamonds in that sense "digging through a mile of shit for a gram of truth". You're not alone by any stretch. We are all supposed to be defined by our views and what we believe, but when those ideas are intertwined and then polarised what chance have we got? There should never have been an us v them attitude, it's an affront to humanity, but hey, division makes money eh?

I think that's what Aristotle was alluding to, basically we all have the same ancestry and live among the same people and share the same goals we'll prosper and be fine. But any kind of situation (accidental or deliberate) where swathes of people from all over the world arrive in one country, that collective desire then disappears. Julius Caesar pioneered the Divide and Conquer technique and it worked for a while...I always look at Rome when thinking of these things... that is what's coming whether we like it or not (I believe anyway)

It was a while ago he said it (small jest) no doubt a quote of it's time but regardless to what I think I can see his argument. I've never been racist or hateful towards anyone I just wasn't taught that any one was ever any different to me. Spain's an interesting one, being Scottish I want the Catalans to have their independence but that could be construed as agreeing with Aristotle I suppose, same token I want Independence for Scotland, it's a hard arguement without being pigeon holed into one side or the other. Africa? Well Churchills maps and the "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramble_for_Africa" explains that atrocity, even now apparently in South Africa if you own land and you find gold or diamonds on it you aren't allowed to keep it

Europe's fucked. Genuinely fucked. The league of nations and the Euro seen to that. I think to be honest it's the same as the US, this left v right bullshit they portray is working to a T. Nobody actually knows what the fuck is going on because we're too busy arguing with each other

Did the participants of the revolution in the US not pull down a king charles statue to melt it for musket balls and other things for the battle? Don't ask me where I read that, might even have been here I can't remember. I do envy the fact you won against the english back then, the english/european elite are far worse than any other, marquees de sade fantasist psychopaths.

I'm sure it was Aristotle who said something along the lines of "no truly democratic nation can survive unless in the case of a truly homogenous population" something along those lines. Read into that what you will...
