- hanniabu 3y agoThis has nothing to do with perception being manipulated
- darkerside 3y agoThe story does not, but the quote does
- edgyquant 3y agoNo, that line is specifically about Julius Caesar being appointed by the Senate as dictator and then never giving up his power. Though I agree it seems to fit here. Being granted an oligopoly in the name of protecting the people and all that.

- edgyquant 3y agoI’ve seen the movie, and it’s in response to Rachel saying “the last dictator they appointed was named Caesar, and he never gave up his power.” I also didn’t downvote you, and it’s against guidelines to bring that stuff up
