What would he do if he were born into a regular middle-class family today?

fuck boipussy

Middle-class? That had better be the new word for Patrician, you pleb!

Your momma, bareback

Ride your mother like a horse in perpetual heat faggot.

Become a clinically depressed Accounts Payable clerk for Goldman Sacks.

Julius Caesar was defined by his ruthless ambition and his stunning displays of leadership, so if I had to venture a guess, I'd say climbs to the rank of high officer for his role fighting in the second Iraq war then becomes a high stakes litigator turned politician.

The man was ridiculously energetic and even someone born into relative obscurity can find modest to high success with that kind of high spirited existence.

He became a military man because that's how you got rich, famous and prestigious in that time and society.

Since I can't see him becoming an elite sportsman or an actor, he would probably become a businessmen and politician. Basically a self-made Trump.

Fuck off you trashy piece of shit

Nothing. He wasn't born an excellent general. He wasn't born a speaker.

the bald adulterer amirite?

it depends on his upbringing, really. People are shaped and influenced by their environment, so he may very well have gone on to become a high flying car salesman turned dealership owner turned politician

The point, I think, is to say that Julius Caesar was a remarkably gifted person, even by the standards of his pampered upbringing. He literally wrote the book on divide and conquer tactics as an autobiography written in the 3rd person. He would have undoubtedly found success if he had modern but humble origins, just perhaps not astronomical amount of success he found as a literal aristocrat.

He'd do what all driven ambitious men do in the 21st century.

Either become a ruthless successful business man or become a crime boss.

eat dick fgt, not even the same guy.

>What would he do if he were born into a regular middle-class family today?

Mens like Gordon Gecko or Frank Underwoood, i could think of Caesar become that type of person

>Basically a self-made Trump.
>Trump isn't self made

It's all relative brev

a derivatives trader for Goldman Sachs or any other big bank, or maybe a top hedge fund manager.
He would use his influence and wealth to get into politics. Probably via the Democrats (considering he was to be born in the US)

you got a problem with boipussy m8?

Depends. You believe in a soul?

Probably nothing. Alexander the Great and him were just born into their positions. It would have been somebody else accomplishing what they did if they didn't do it. What's the chances the best man for the job just happens to be born into it?

There are plenty of starry-eyed kids that have ambition and end up nowhere. Unless you are phenomenal, and neither him nor Alexander the Great were, let's get real, you succeed by networking, not talent.

Napoleon and Hitler are actually far more interesting than those two, if for no other reason than they aren't interchangeable to the same degree. You can't say what either of them did was "coming." They made it come and drastically changed the face of the world in the process.

> alexander and caesar weren't phenomenal
Jesus christ fuck off

Bump, this is an interesting thread. He would probably get himself some experience in business, study english literature and law, be familiar with history and philosophy, and enter politics working his way up a political party until he exerted considerable influence.

If in the UK he would pull a Rubicon, become high up in the opposition, make many friends in the military, gather his own personal dedicated force and stage a coup on downing street & buckingham palace declaring himself supreme leader.

Honestly probably something like that.

Join the republicans

By the time he rose to power being a patrician was probably more of a disadvantage when it came to holding office. Plebeians had more political power and patricians weren't assured any success. He becom powerful through his own actions so he'd probably do well today

They don't know that at the end of the republic patrician status was actually a disadvantage in obtaining political power and Caesar was only successful because he was talented

Is the UK unstable enough for a coup>?

Probably unstable enough after a coup.
