Much of the money wouldn’t have been ‘on-hand’. When their employer (a claimant to the Persian throne) died, so too did all of his social pull and contacts. Also, during the Battle of Cunaxa, the encampment was captured, where any of the money that was present would have plundered by the enemy.

They were paid on the way, but when their employer died, so too did their pay! On the way back, they were unpaid, and only survived by looting, extorting, and scavenging along the way.

“I don’t recall” - Reagan

Just feels kinda Roman privilege to assume the almighty wants to hear Latin.

It is. That’s why it’s a privilege to be a citizen 💪

What’s that? Can’t tell/Handheld dream, shot in hell

“Donald Trump stands up for the little guy like you and me” - the mental giants we’re dealing with

That comment was tongue-in-cheek.

Saying that Iran has the same right to defend itself as Israel hardly strikes me as tongue-in-cheek. Nor does doubling-down talking about how Israel-born Israelis ‘belonging’ in the countries of their European ancestors despite such rhetoric having no such usage it could be mirrored from regarding current rhetoric in a potential war with Iran.

Hypercampism against the Bad West™ advocating for literal genocide from a nominal leftist is tankie-adjacent at the least.

It’s not relevant to the point being criticized, since the insane shit being criticized is “It’s okay to deport millions of Israeli Jews because they have Bad Ancestors” not “There should be a single nondiscriminatory state for all residents of the region instead of Israel”

OOP started out with this comment, after all:

When the Council of Rabbis falls and the population of enslaved Zionists is liberated and allowed to return to their native countries, Iran will be greated as a liberator.

God I wish that was me

Apathy - the human constant

It reads like all you’re contributing is a series of non-sequiturs.

the people committing the genocide in gaza… has anyone thought about them and their feelings today?!

… are you alright?

The Israeli Jew is now a victim?

I’m just honestly not sure if they’re really that young. That ignorant. Or if there’s some bigger conspiracy going on. Honestly though I think it’s just delusion.

Just delusion. As you said, it’s the same as MAGA types. Mirror the script and improve the grammar slightly, and it’s literally the same arguments peddled by fascists.

Artist is not a native English speaker, I believe.

Remember kids, racism and ethnonationalism is bad, until you can use it as an excuse to ethnically cleanse millions of people for having the wrong ancestors!

Maybe the Afghanis didn’t want to be a vassal state to the country that was invading them for 20 fucking years.

Luckily, as every good campist knows, the holsum Taliban, definitely not an imperialist catspaw of Pakistan which has been invading them for 30 fucking years, is widely beloved by comparison.
