    Creepy weirdos are afraid of being held accountable.

    The fear is so palpable, they are summoning the spirit of #Catiline…again.

  3. When the Roman Republic was in its final century, civil wars were common, and so were proscriptions.

    Words mean things.

    I don’t make the rules.

  5. #Catiline Was Wicked

    The Catilinarian Conspiracy of 63 BCE was a symptom of #dysfunction in the late #Roman Republic. It foreshadowed the rise of Roman imperialism.

    Instability & Corruption

    The conspiracy emerged in a climate of intense rivalry and public corruption that was dominating the political atmosphere of the late #Republic.

    The #American Founders were obsessed with #Catiline, and that’s what we are dealing with now, as we’ve repressed memories of patriotic #virtues.

    Caveat: Anything that references #Catiline and the Catilinarian conspiracy is •automatically• at least 5/10 for me and can only go up from there.

  11. The #history nerds out there will note that not only did Julius Caesar also load himself with debt to fund the army which he would use to incite an insurrection against the Republic, but the #American founders of the #Enlightenment valued #virtue above all and viewed #Caesar (and #Catiline) as wicked usurpers of their nations.

    Just sayin’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I think Jan 6 was when #Catiline made his attempt to overthrow the Republic.

    We hit the iceberg then, and have been pretending otherwise ever since.

  15. The Founding Fathers held both #Catiline and #Caesar in deep contempt.

    Anybody telling you otherwise is probably a fascist, reactionary, or mendacious fuck.

    More echos of the Republic than Empire.

    The #American founders obsessively worried about the vices of #Catiline and wickedness of Caesar.

    And that was without the natural vicissitudes of the environment wreaking havoc.

  19. @paninid Examples such as yours are ones that I believe are productive and useful. Comparative history is important and insightful, when done right (which is why warnings from the Founders are so important). I've been seeing a lot more *248 years is really close to 250* #discourse which is based on Glubb's #pseudohistory which distracts from the rich comparisons of #Catiline and #Caesar

  20. @endofmeaning
    The Founders repeatedly referred to the vices of #Catiline and Caesar.

  22. If you can keep it from #Caesar and #Catiline

    The American founders were obsessed with the Greek and Roman Republics. The founders held both Caesar and Catiline in deep contempt. The originalists and textualists know this, and choose to memoryhole that fact. Or, they are deeply ignorant of history. The founders’ version of memes and trash talk involved making obscure references to orators, philosophers, senators, consuls, and generals of the ancient republics.

  26. TFG went from being #Cicero to #Catiline over the span of only 4 years.

    Even the founders educated by the #ScottishEnlightenment and protagonists of the #American Revolution would been incredulous he ate the whole wheel of cheese, they’d have been amazed.
