Take this shit back to your /pol/ hug box echo chamber.

1. Where did I argue that?
2. Where was her argument against what he said?

You libs are so irrational.

How does his status as a self made millionaire in the fields of investment banking and insurance, relate to the field of ancient history/classics?

Why bring it up at all and specifically point out his status as a self made millionaire versus a "smug academic"if you weren't trying to compare the two?

No, it's funny because he said
>my teacher was from Cambridge and taught the classics

Furthermore, it's Twitter. Why should she provide primary sources, when those same sources can be found in the books written by her or any other similar historian? Would Aaron Banks give away investment advice for free on Twitter?

Pro-tip: if you're going to samefag, don't repeat the same argument over successive posts.

>implying multiple posts are samefagging


How about addressing that point rather than whining?

>Mansplains
>writer of article is male

>Why do liberals eat this shit up so easily?
>said the Trump supporter.
The irony.

>HuffPo
does anyone actually still read that? I never understand why.

Pastebin it or fuck off.

>you WONT believe what this person said

That's why people read it

Most of the article is Twitter screencaps so pastebin won't work

...

>self-made millionaire
To the echo chamber, russian operative.

>One of the most renowned modern classicists most provide full academic citations when discussing her field on twitter
>Meanwhile Trump can claim that China created global warming to weaken the west without any proof and be met with applause

This election was truly the worst thing to happen to Veeky Forums.

>giving huffpo clicks
Hang yourself kudasai OP

It was all good until that "kudasai".

Kill yourself "please".

She's Mary fucking Beard, you stupid cuck. She's an eminent scholar.

>mansplaining
So now it has become so that everytime a man open his mouth, it's mansplaining?

Also I love Mary Beard, but she didn't handle this well at all. If she just tells him "you're wrong" without an argument, even if she's right she still loses.

Seems like Twitter is the real problem here, as usual. It's not possible to discuss the decline of the Roman Empire in 140 characters, so we get misguided exclamations and empty refutations instead. Everyone comes away from it confused and angry.
