I swear, as I moved leftward realizing just how much of a fascist Teddy Roosevelt was legit hurt me. It was like finding out the truth about Elon all over again.

But it just goes to show that Malthusianism is simply a core part of Anglo culture. Like every Anglosphere country is in a bare-knuckled fight to be the modern day Sparta.

Sixth grade me in social studies: “So they just attacked Athens because they were violent warmongers jealous of their prosperity!? Why do we idolize them?!”

clueless over the nature Europeans had for the rest of the world

But yeah, thank you for the article. Sparta was awful and the 300 makes my skin crawl because of how it glorified some of the earliest fascists in history.

Teddy is one of the better presidents, too. He was especially good for the labor movement and trust busting. It's sad the best America can come up with are NazBols.
