You might not want them to have a place in society, but political violence goes back to Greece, Rome, and wherever. Its part and parcel. Please explain how political violence has a place in a civilized society? Should be a fun read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um...because it’s always been there. From Ancient Greece, to Ancient Rome to today Heck, ya know the board member Tiberius? The Grachi he named himself after was bluggened to death by Rome’s Pontifex Maximus as a Tribune! Political violence has always been there. From the rostra to the Black Hand, man.

It was the Roman oligarchy oppressing the commoners, whom Tiberius Gracchus supported. It was social strife, not political violence. There isn't a single political policy in history that led to violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s all forget about the fact that this happened due to the lex agraria. Ya know, nothing political about legislation and stuff. If you knew half as much as you pretended you’d be a very educated man worth listening too. I may may not know about boat war. But I worship the Romans and I’m a subject matter expert in Roman things because I am such a student of warfare. I can name more Roman politicians than Americans. I know the late republic better than you, and you’re wrong. You couldn’t be more wrong. Edited October 22, 2018 by The_Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
