HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2019-03-17 04:41:39 UTC  

no

2019-03-17 04:42:05 UTC  

they allied with Persians sometimes but did not identify as them

2019-03-17 04:42:07 UTC  

greece is going to hell and america is too

2019-03-17 04:42:23 UTC  

Yeah, in what way did "Greece" fall?

2019-03-17 04:42:44 UTC  

the collapse of 600BCE

2019-03-17 04:43:25 UTC  

it was big and strong, then it collapsed and got small and weak and then the romans took it over

2019-03-17 04:43:38 UTC  

yuh

2019-03-17 04:43:39 UTC  

Quite a few Greek states were established as, or became Persian colonies, used Persian currency, language and accepted Persian cultural norms

2019-03-17 04:43:51 UTC  

Fucking 300 isn’t a reliable source bra

2019-03-17 04:44:24 UTC  

you seem to not see what I am typing because I clearly said THEY ALLIED WITH PERSIOAN SOMETIMES

2019-03-17 04:44:43 UTC  

that does not make them Persian

2019-03-17 04:44:46 UTC  

Becoming a colony is a lil more then becoming an ally

2019-03-17 04:45:07 UTC  

They were directly governed or even created by persia for periods

2019-03-17 04:45:14 UTC  

they were still ethnically greek and back then it was mostly about ethnicity and ideals

2019-03-17 04:45:57 UTC  

^ yuh

2019-03-17 04:45:59 UTC  

They didn’t really have a concept of ethnicity and it didn’t consistently extend to other states

2019-03-17 04:46:11 UTC  

>greeks didn't have a concept of ethnicity

2019-03-17 04:46:17 UTC  

are you retarded

2019-03-17 04:46:33 UTC  

ying

2019-03-17 04:46:34 UTC  

ying

2019-03-17 04:46:46 UTC  

read Plato's the republic

2019-03-17 04:47:00 UTC  

Not in the way you people are describing

2019-03-17 04:47:06 UTC  

he was a greek from that era and laid out how a republic can work

2019-03-17 04:48:22 UTC  

yes in the way we are describing, and ethnic collective of Europeans instead of Semites like the Persians.

2019-03-17 04:48:48 UTC  

Persian and meditation are not the same ethnicity.

2019-03-17 04:49:58 UTC  

Ok so I've never heard of this ancient Grecian collapse you mention sound 600-500 and a quick search brings up nothing

2019-03-17 04:50:12 UTC  

What are you talking about?

2019-03-17 04:50:41 UTC  

Can’t recall that being mentioned in the republic. Best I can recall is the metallic classes

2019-03-17 04:50:54 UTC  

Not an ethnicity thing though

2019-03-17 04:51:04 UTC  

Ethnicity is a relatively modern concept

2019-03-17 04:52:06 UTC  

So your book which is not the republic says the republic says it

2019-03-17 04:52:44 UTC  

You see the issue here

2019-03-17 04:52:49 UTC  

<:facepalm:508484035274735665>

2019-03-17 04:54:56 UTC  

Did a quick look and funny enough at least in my translation ‘ethnicity’ doesn’t even appear

2019-03-17 04:55:58 UTC  

which volume do you have?

2019-03-17 04:56:15 UTC  

it's sectioned into multiple volumes

2019-03-17 04:56:28 UTC  

which do you have?

2019-03-17 04:56:56 UTC

2019-03-17 04:57:11 UTC  

Hey, good thing all commentaries say exactly the same thing as the source material and can be innately trusted when shown by randoms on the net otherwise. Ebook I’ve got is a compilation of the volumes. I got a flight tho so I’m also out
