Hey, no big deal amirite? Just the owner of Twitter praising an infamous Roman general who took over the government and murdered thousands of people. No biggie. All you media orgs, just carry on like nothing’s wrong. Cool.

I think a genie should grant the wish of every "Return to Tradition" guy posting on the internet, and they should all awake tomorrow in the time-period of their choice, in the nation or city they romanticize most from the past. --as a servant, woman, or indentured laborer.

These very white guys need progressively harsher feedback as they continue to inspire violence and show what despicable racist monsters they are. Always harsher than the last and always immediate.

By the way, I love Roman history. Can't get enough of those guys. They wrote everything down and it's so entertaining to read about their trials and antics. Some of the water engineering is very exciting. Once might feel a sliver of happiness installing hypocausts in the bath houses, writing plays or doing math puzzles... but what are the odds of that? No, you'd end up in the damn army or as a stressed out house servant or farmer.

And that's assuming that you were one of the lucky 30% who survived to puberty, because even very wealthy families could expect most of their children to die.

@Green_Footballs An infamous Roman general who *failed* after all of that. His reforms were undone quickly, some in his own lifetime. Augustus was a bastard who proscribed politicians he didn't like (like Cicero) but managed to actually build a new regime and bequeath to an heir; Sulla was just a failure. What's next, simping for Jefferson Davis and Robert Lee?

Sulla was the first Roman to sieze power by force and after doing so, mass executed his political opponents. He was a member of the Optimates party (traditionalists who favored the arristocrates) who initiated and won the first large-scale civil war in the history of the Roman Republic.

@Green_Footballs Is there a Mastodon feature that would allow me to say, "I don't what to see anything with "Musk" in it for the next week? Or maybe, "I don't want to see more than 1 Musk posting per month". Perhaps it is time for everyone to take a page from the BBCs Trump postings and offer content warnings.
