What makes a man turn neutral? A lust for gold? Power? Or is he just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Don't tarnish Cicero with your soyboy Stellaris quotes pls

The Swizz (or the area) will be the last civilization on earth.

Doesn't really apply cause Cicero wasn't neutral he was really pro republic he just wasn't a typical optimate and he was really anti corruption that's why he was never elected consul

>that's why he was never elected consul
are you retarded?

>What makes a man turn neutral

A political science degree

>anti corruption
>literally noted for getting clearly guilty people off in court

American education claims another victim.

he was literally a typical optimate, claimed to care for the republic but did nothing to fix any issues and mostly just looked out for himself

He was a slimy asshole Who tried to save his ass

He was a consul once,and was heavily respected by most Romans (including Caesar) for his oratory skills.

I think Cicero and Cato are the only guys who truly cared about the republic, and didn't have any self-interest motives.

...

It's from Futurama you utter faggot.

please stop posting on Veeky Forums forever

The optimates were very anti corruption (Cato)

>being a private attorney when you aren't in public office having anything to do with how you conduct yourself when in a public office.
plebeians like you would never understand.
What Cicero is actually most famous for is executing the leaders of the Cataline Conspiracy, who were plotting to overthrow the Senate and the elections.

Embarrassing

this family.
The Senate of late Rome was so entrenched in partisanship, that no one could do anything seeing as compromising with the other side, even if it was a good idea, because the other side would get the credit.

kinda like right now in the U.S.
Right now Trump, the evil, racist, Mexican-eating, bigot, Nazi, is calling for DACA kids to be given legal status and path to citizenship in his immigration bill, just in return for funds to beef up border security and build a border wall (a mere pittance in the scheme of the budget).
Dems literally won't even hear it or allow it to be called to the floor for debate, despite it being everything they want and are asking for short of immediate total amnesty for every illegal. The sole reason for this opposition is because Trump has branded the compromise as his compromise and the Dems cannot appear to do anything in cooperation with their sworn enemy, even if it benefits them, because he would get the credit for "solving the immigration problem".

Watch as nothing gets done on Immigration in the U.S., at least until after the Mid-term elections.

your temperament is mostly god given, 70-80%

That's even more soyboy.

Futurama is pretty funny.
Is anything funny now soyboy-tier.
Stop ruining soyboy by calling everything and everyone you disagree with a soyboy.
Faggots like you ruined the word cuck in less than two years by doing that. Stop the casualization of memes, making them meaningless. I can't constantly stay on the cutting edge of new memes to replace the ones ruined by faggots like you.
