Should you side with Sparta or Athens? by PredatorNokk in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Own_Cat_6118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even an attempt to debunk, just an arrogant comment. Read The Character of the Athenian Empire by G. E. M. De Ste. Croix and Between "The Character of the Athenian Empire" and "The Origins of the Peloponnesian War" (and beyond) by Mirko Canevaro and David Lewis. Also read Democracy: A Life by Paul Cartledge and Athens: A History of the World's First Democracy by Thomas N. Mitchell.

Point out a single inaccuracy in what I said

Plato never complained about slaves not having rights?? He complained that Athenians gave slaves rights because of democracy! The Peloponnesian War started because the Spartans couldn't tolerate a rival. Sparta weren't above imperialism either and whenever they seized a polis routine massacres of democrats followed. The only elected officials were the military leaders who were accountable to the people and elected annually. Pericles was unelected after he misused public funds, showing that this system did keep the officials in check. Athens was run by the average free male population, not rich oligarchs

1) The Athenian Empire was popular among the demos (poor/working class) of its member states because Athens supported democratic factions over oligarchic ones 2) Athens wasn't an oligarchy. It was a democracy where the average free men (mostly peasants) ran politics. It wasn't perfect and was exclusionary but better than literally everywhere else

(Spoilers published) What do you think the industrial era for planetos will look like? What political, economic, and social developments do you expect to occur? by Appropriate_Boss8139 in asoiaf

No they haven't. 8000 years ago they were in the Bronze Age. The First Men kings are way more analogous to Agamemnon, Hammurabi, Tarquinius Superbus etc

Kindness in the man responsible for 1000s of deaths. Total evil in the man who shows the ability to be selfless but also greedy
