Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it's true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it's hard to separate the truth from the lies.
Both the greeks and romans and their forebearers all practiced just obvious bias in their writing. About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.
Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?
WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?
Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.
The thing is that it's so out of the left field that you either call off the whole thing because of "conflicting schedules" to save face or you're left scrambling

In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

We've advanced so much since then! We've put a pedophile in power, yet allow him to bury the evidence so nobody calls him that.

So Russia gets 2 seats?
lechekaflan@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 158d
That's why the Russian eagle has two heads.
hector@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 158d
What is the image superimposed over the eagle there?
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 158d
It's Saint George killing a dragon. He seems oddly ripped, though.
hector@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 158d
Oh thanks for the reply I never knew that was even part of their flag. It looks like the dude is spearing that eagle, not a very big dragon.
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 158d
Well, it's not on the flag, thankfully. The flag is just a tricolor. Putting coats of arms on flags is a bad idea.
Hapankaali@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 158d
Coats of arms are for rookies. Real flags have AK-47s.

Is the UN failing citizens as well? Why was she even allowed to preside?
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 158d
Because a country can assign whoever they want to be their representative, even if it makes a farce of the whole thing.

Not really anything different than before. Members take turns chairing meetings and as a permanent member the US has final say on everything.
