I have a deeply ingrained fatalistic outlook on the progress of civilization. I don't believe the yoke has ever truly been lifted in any form; it's all just narrative-driven bullshit
>>226072636I think we have it better than people used to in history. Maybe the Romans have something comparable, but we're way more technologically advanced.

>>226072741I would be a wino drunk who gambles at the gladiator arenasIn Rome, a slave could earn their freedom and a soldier could retire to a farm. Now, what do we get for working and volunteering for service? Shitty healthcare. Maybe we haven't come very far after all.
>>226072786Living conditions in Rome werent that great bro
>>226072806yeah... i know they had a lot of tenement fires and stuff like that. there was shit everywhere. malaria. Ok.. whatever. I'll just go to a hockey game. That's close enough to a gladiator fight for me
>>226072824Hockey could be vastly improved if both teams got people with swords and armor too
