Imagine being so sensitive to criticism of people who you never met, existed thousands of years ago, and you only really know about through an absurd pop-culture portrayal. Somebody has taken way too much of his identity from 300.
- 29athrowaway 3y agoIt's very clear that the aim of the article is not talking about Sparta. It's talking about how modern society should fit the expectations of this historian more. And his aspirations would be to have a society less like Sparta. Meaning less fit, respected people that get mobilized to protect their territory and more of the opposite perhaps? The semantic opposite is flaccid, laughable people that get invaded all the time. Perhaps that would be more aligned with the author's preferences.
