Those in the Imperial Core will never understand that what they consider unbearable hardship and boredom is actually a life of luxury that the vast majority of people on Earth cannot even imagine.
The international division of labor is 1000x more important and impactful than the domestic one.
Men like this used to lead legions into battle. Now he sits in traffic, on the way to the same cubicle every day. Where he will listen to some HR harpy lecture him on how he is the problem, while he watches as his society slowly decays. He may have brief moments of happiness with his pup, but these moments are fleeting.
This is the hell of modernity for a lot of men.
This is what zero understanding of history does to a mf.
Men like this used to lead legions
Who made up the legions, dipshit? Was it all women? Or were the majority of men still under the thumb of the ruling class and got no say? God I hate these people.
No no you don’t understand, I wouldn’t be one of the peasantry, obviously I would be a lord or a general or something
:horror: marble bust twitter users when i take them in a time machine back to 400 BC Rome and they see that 98% of Roman men are ordinary day laborers like the guy in the video and not epic masculine barbarian fighters with cool swords
Ha! Day laborers! Why do you think the Roman elites were so big on open immigration of slaves! Citizens, you have to pay them! They’ll even revolt and form mobs and lynch you if you try to screw them over! Much better to import more and more slaves and give them bread & circuses so they stay calm while you’re doing it.
‘you should be killing and dying 1,000 miles from home at the ripe old age of 30’ is not the compliment they think that is
History factoid time: Legionaries mostly lived freakishly long and healthy lives compared to the rest of the population. Apparently they generally had better food, health, and dental care than normal people, they got lots of exercise but not the kind of heavy manual labor that breaks you down, and they didn’t do much actual fighting, so most of them made it through their 25 year term and retired
