The persians didn't have slavery

He took the best of Persian culture with none of the shit. It's called the "Hellenistic age" not the "Persian age" for a reason.

centralized government > warring city states

Sometimes, yes. Why should Greeks prefer centralized Persian rule to their own, very developed city-state system?

>watches 300 once

I don't care about John Green but I always like seeing that pic cause I live nearby. Pic related.

>the persians didn't have slavery
how is he able to blatantly lie like this?

He is a Persian's slave eunuch in denial.

shoot him, please.

He was just trying to let everyone know he is mentally disabled.

Be nice to him, he can't help it.

Reminder that this is not only true but that John Green brags about it
>have horrible oneitis on girl in highschool
>she never pays attention to him
>they end up going to the same college
>John finally asks her out
>they go on three dates before she says she just wants to be friends
>proceeds to fuck Chads while John is heartbroken
>after college, john writes shitty YA fiction books
>makes a lot of money
>all of a sudden, this girl realizes how much she really loved john all along!
>he marries her

Whenever he talks about relationships or sex shaming or anything like that, just keep this in mind

This guy will prefer anything that is not European/Western no matter how close it is (Persia, Ottomans, etc.)

You think John Green just sits in that spot all his life?

He meant that his mom cucked his father with many black dicks.

I live near the Rijksmuseum, not near John Green.

Funny thing is we already know what happened to Greek cities under Persian occupation, they faded out into obscurity and never achieved anything when they were important centers of thought and culture while free.

The Persians HAD abolished slavery but that didn't stop anyone from practicing it anyway.

I'm writing my YA book rite now, thanks user.

you rich kike

neither jewish nor rich

Protip: Greece under Persia would’ve been the same, or revolted against Persians within 100 years, so it wouldn’t matter that much.

Pseud

Yeah Greece under the Romans or Turks would have been the same....

Hindsight yeah

Probably. People always treat certain historical events as more pivotal than they actually are. I’ll bet that if the Romans had stopped Brennus before he sacked Rome, we’d be talking about how the Roman Republic almost fell if it weren’t for the actions of some brave Roman soldiers.

>centralized government
>good

Holy shit you retard read some Hoppe

It would have been a shithole like the warzones of Iraq and Armenia.

So nothing would have changed?

He probably just got assblasted after reading Assemblywomen by Aristophanes

this Hellas was THE trade hub of the Mediterranean. People jerk off over hoplites but they only trained in times of war. In reality we should be jacking/flicking it over the professional Athenian oarsmen.

Honestly wouldve preferred the Persians compared to this democracy shit.

No, they would've been fought over (and occupied during war) for millenia by Rome and Persia,.

Less dead fetuses, armies of faggot pedophiles and beheaded philosophers, I reckon.

Maybe you shouldnt be jacking off at all.

>for a reason
because they spoke greek while using persian forms of government?

>trusting women
This is the mistake that Odin didn’t make

if you aren't comfortable with people fapping over historical figures then maybe you should go back to r*ddit (or /pol/ if you fell for the nofap meme)

>centralized govt is bad. why? because I define "bad" as "centralized govt". haha btfo retard

>american
>philosopher

'No'

>greek culture with Persian infrastructure
Oh wow its almost exactly what user said

>greeks
>white

Iranians were still aryan back then while greeks were already arabic
