In Aristophanes play The Clouds discusses the "new philosophers" poisoning the youth. Children go to a school called a Thinkery to learn useless professions like making shoes for flys. They are taught that God isnt real and thus morality is relative. They are taught what matters is hedonism, winning lawsuits, and that a wise man can use verbal trickery to get what he wants. The students come home and use their new "philosophy" to justify beating up their parents and becoming rebels.How modern.
Wow who would imagine ultrareactionary tradcon nazi poltards identify with ultraconservative comedic aristocrat aristophanes

He was ahead of his timehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblywomen>The play portrays a scenario where the women of Athens assume control of the government and institute reforms that ban private wealth and enforce sexual equity for the old and unattractive. >Praxagora then goes on to explain the details of the new government to Blepyrus. >She proposes banning all ownership of private wealth and establishing equal pay for all and a unified standard of living.>She further explains that people will no longer have a need for personal wealth as all basic needs will be met by the common fund. >She further adds that men and women will be free to sleep with anyone they want, so long as they first sleep with the uglier and older members of the opposite sex. >Parental responsibilities will be shared by the community as children will no longer know their fathers.
>>536179220He's just satirizing socrates again, socrates wanted to live in sparta AND be the king pretty much.
>>536179220>tfw ancient phi professor is a 2nd gen radfem 60something and tries to talk about assemblywoman being sexist and shit while literally repeating rhetoric from the play very fun times, undergrad

>>536178870Well I identify with it because it's eerily approximates modern society. How could you not identify with it?
>>536179617Aristophanes was just trolling everyone in athens he didnt like, the acarnanians, uppity women, socrates. I respect his integrity for doing so, but the lesson is not>modern society is gay look Aristophanes knew it 2400 years agoThe lesson is>fucking nothing changes and this could have been classical athens and you'd have the exact same fucking socio-cultural dynamics
