    To paraphrase Tacitus, because I’m feeling fancy:

    They plunder, they slaughter, and they steal: this they falsely name freedom, and where they make a wasteland, they call it peace.

    It’s interesting how even the Romans thought they were the good guys, while literally enslaving millions and condemning millions more to starvation.

    Humans haven’t changed. Great powers haven’t changed. Cunts are still running the world.

    America isn’t particularly special. It’s just more of the same.
