Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Yeah, that's a perfect example of how awful things can get. A slave driven economy .. and society full off ancient bullshit and death and strife and murder and horrific genocides... if you're holding up the Roman empire as a good thing for people...well, I'm not going to convince you of much.
They've had great marketing since though.. Especially the holy Catholic Church who has just the BEST history of being so great, like I think Epstein's greatest blunder was not being a Catholic. They would have protected him much better.
Wow, what awful reading comprehension you have.
Did I not literally say they weren't perfect?
Did I claim their society was perfect and the result of dictators?
Or did I refute the idea that history exclusively shows dictators abusing their power?
