Why, throughout history, do people glorify the unworthy dictator?
He manipulated everyone around him, forced his soldiers to march on their own city, and undemocratically ran out the Republic out of his city. Even before that he went 4 years over his consulship due to an illegal war that he declared out of greed. There is no way the "common man" he use to stand up for actually beleived this madness.
>but Caesar looked out for the little man
Why? He grant certain Gaul states their own governship? Of course he did, he didn't want to appear a tyrant. He brought plebs into the Senate? Of course he did. The Republic would seem cruel to not let the lowly mudbiters not have a say in extremely delecate matters.
He lied on that floor with 29 stab wounds. Thank God.
Xavier Ross
Cause he was fucking based? Why else.
Nathan Harris
Because he manages to get shit done. In contrast with what you hear from political scientists, people can still like and support a government that gives them little benefit. This is the case with most dictators. He encourages them and makes them feel involved. His pictorials and struggles become their own.
Grayson Parker
His life makes for an incredible story and he single-handedly changed the course of history by his sheer talent and force of will.
Luke Adams
>forced his soldiers to march on their own city.
He didnt force them. Roman soldiers would never march on rome if they believed it was wrong, so they were not forced.
Shut up brutus get off the internet.

Christian Rodriguez
This. The fortunes of roman soldiers in that period were tied to that of their general. The willingly followed him since they were promised good lands as pensions.

Grayson Sanders
He's basically the Adolf Hitler of ancient Rome, so I guess Neo Nazis.
Liam Brown
Napoleon maybe, get out of here with that fruitcake Hitler.

He is idolized by fascists and authoritarians, who celebrate in the death of the libertarian principles of the Republic.

Julius Caeser was dictator that is true but he was a benevolent dictator. The senate had become inefficient and complicated with corruption that was injuring the common people of Rome. Caeser was seen as a hero to the common people who would undo the wrongs of corrupt officials. Also his war in Gaul was completely and a hundred percent justified. The Gauls and their kin had been a nuisance to Rome for centuries now and they deserved punishment.
William Flores
*He lay on that floor
Christian Gutierrez
Because the late corrupt Roman Republic was so noble.
Oliver Ross
Are you retarded?
The Roman Republic is so far removed from us in time that the morals and values are basically alien to most people today, but if you hate 'fascists' and authoritarians then I'm not sure why you'd support aristocratic traditionalists who wanted to maintain the ancient Roman power structure over a populist who at least paid lip service to the people and their will.
Aaron Hughes
he defended rome,he made rome great again he ended the corrupt good for nothing rich fags reign and not only brought glory to his "nation" but made the life of citizens better
fuck off butthurt knight

>but Caesar looked out for the little man
He did do a lot of serious debt-reforms, almost to excess. If you want to win everyone (except for lenders') good will, you waive their debts.
Jeremiah Nelson
He was a poorfag, politically aligned with the populares, and thoroughly hated by the conservatoive aristocrats, who even preferred to support the provincial pleb Pompey over him. Any and all rich plebs had it far easier.
Aaron Watson
>Listing the guy who's famous for losing to Caesar as greater than Caeser
Jaxon Smith
Great men can still lose to lesser men.
Think of the various Senators famous for Caesar's murder, only to get BTFO by Antony and Octavian. Do they excel Caesar for sheer virtue of defeating him?
Matthew Murphy
Also Pompey was assassinated by Egyptian agents. Maybe he would've won. All of the triumvirate died brutal, violent deaths.
Ryan Cox
Because Shakespeare wrote about him. He wasn't even the first to march on rome, sulla did it before him. Also, amazing military victories in gaul.
Eli Nguyen
Cato plz go to bed.
Brayden Stewart
>how many aristocrats actually did anything with their lives >only name 4 >listing Pompey the Cuck among them
Yeah the first 3 were great men, but you don't have an argument against Caesar being a great man too

>Glorify >Objectify Note how modern man uses these words to imply that society projected these properties (glory, object status) onto the persons in question. Note how modern man implies that the glory came from society, as a form of "social construct", and not from above as a result of adherence to transcendental principles.
