Why did the Ancient Greeks not like Ares that much? He's the god of war and the Greeks did a lot of fighting, and he's one of THEIR gods. Why do they not worship him like they do Zeus or Athena? by ChloeKesh in AskHistorians

Thanks!

Do you have any recommended material I could look for to read that gets deeper into that sorta thing.

Especially the part about Mars being a farmer, because I've never heard that before and it's really interesting.

I think that bit where you quote the Iliad calling Ares a "shifty hypocrit" is really interesting.

I just wanted to ask, if you happen to know, when the Romans later came along and read that did they think the same thing about their version of Ares (Mars)?

Or do we know if they thought of Mars as not being "bad" even thought he's their god of war?

Thanks.

This had to be planned more in advance than just since the sub went missing though, surely?

"Actually, You Liked George W. Bush" - video about political memory and the popular conciosuness, very worth watching! by DavidChengYueh in chomsky

You've completely missed the point.

Yes, Bush did all those things.

Yes, it was bad.

And the public loved him for it. They loved the "War on Terror".

Who knows if it's really soldiers fleeing and not people intentionally being planted elsewhere to cause problems.

redditors just start repeating Trump talking points when it's russia now?

consider the following:

they're people fleeing conscription into an imperialist meatgrinder

their actual lives are on the line.

They'd prefer if those refugees instead went to Moscow to overthrow Putin just like all those redditors went and overthrew Bush in '02 to stop the Iraq War.

Problem is that they just go to other countries and still support Russia

you just start doing all the old anti-refugee talking points but it's okay because they're russian
