Date: September 15th, 2024 7:53 PM Author: hank_scorpio honestly it's a pretty good system, your leaders should be afraid that if they fuck up they will just be unceremoniously stabbed in their bath
the byzantines had all sorts of good ones, I forget his name but the best one was some old emperor and his assassin just locked the door, cut his head off, then held it up to the window and all the guards were like "well fuck it, I guess that doods emperor now" |

|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:11 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr Then their emperors started getting assassinated annually and everything went to shit until Diocletian made the government communist. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096295) |

Date: September 16th, 2024 7:14 PM Author: hank_scorpio obviously you've got the one good 200 years, but otherwise they did very well in a troubled world
and if I recall even during the good 200 it wasn't exactly assassin free territory |

|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:17 PM Author: hank_scorpio I still am! Rome survived and was hugely influential after that (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096315) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:18 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr Because it was so easy to assassinate the emperor. That's your theory. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096318) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:20 PM Author: hank_scorpio I think it's a nice counterbalance to that level of power, if the people are willing to have you killed and then take on someone new, you had it coming if you were unjustly assassinated, that dood did not tend to last |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:21 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr "The people?" lmfao. These were military generals fighting against each other.
Keep going. |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:22 PM Author: hank_scorpio they still needed armies and popular support, the mob was never far away in Rome (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096329) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:26 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr Rome wasn't even the capital during the third century. Many emperors never even visited it
Keep going. |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:28 PM Author: hank_scorpio I am speaking of the empire generally, obviously the political center shifted at numerous points, Ravenna was a last ditch thing in the face of much worse problems than the eternal tradition of Roman backstabbing dating back to the founding of the republic, where they killed the fucking king (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096359) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:31 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr The OP is saying it's amazing how many Roman emperors were assassinated. I assumed he was talking about the period when Rome had series of over 20 emperors who were assassinated after <2 years in office. Are you talking about some other period in Roman history when that wasn't happening? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096369) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:34 PM Author: hank_scorpio no, I'm saying that was a Roman tradition dating from its very founding until the demise of the East, at no point were they not assassinating the fuck out of doods, and it worked better than anything else anyone ever did (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096383) |

Date: September 16th, 2024 7:43 PM Author: hank_scorpio jfc you retard, his great great what the fuck ever grandfather was the guy who killed the last king of rome at the start of the republic, it is a different Brutus (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096424) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:45 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr You still haven't explained why killing kings is a good idea. Why not kill all the military generals and everyone else in power too, all the time? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2378069&forum_id=2#48096432) |
|
Date: September 16th, 2024 7:46 PM Author: hank_scorpio I'm saying the Romans did it constantly and they are objectively the most successful single people the world has ever known, I'd be interested in who you think did better?
