And here we are
Are we so out of touch?
No, it was Plato who was wrong.
“The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men.”
– Plato, Republic book 1 (translated) circa 375 BCE.

Why? Don’t you trust us to read Attic Greek?
I only read Cellar Greek. Attic is to high brow for me.
Unexpected, I’ve never heard this joke before.
Also the cellar is where I keep my Hell-enic wine. It had a devilish flavor.
Easy to say. Good luck changing politics, the neo liberals have a deathgrip on the left options in politics, running as the plutocracy but the other parties are worse. Making the radicalized right planning of fixing elections, now with the help of russia and the us, an inevitability as they run as reform.
Nothing will break the population from the neo liberal’s death grip, not short of a populist alternative, but they kill that in the cradle. Not even 2024 shook the confidence of the sheep in the party, as arrogant as ever they are busy being led to aggressively blame everyone else for their unwinnable strategies, especially blaming those that fought for a new deal of popular reform that could both win and restore the glory of our post war year prosperities. Across the west not just in the US, the US and UK are just the harbingers of the death of liberal democracy in all but name.
Wise men can’t solve this, not disparately with the forces aligned against the common good.
Another day at Y’all Qaeda Texas or Oblast of Texas.
So they’re banning Plato, but is Socrates still OK?
:D
Cave wins again
Famous lefty radical Plato
Gotta watch that newfangled philosophy - why don’t we just use the classics? /s
Aka, Texas a&m is attempting to be one the right wing fascist schools approved by maga
I applied there in 2010 for undergrad and was offered to go there if I joined ROTC. I wrote back asking if I could not, since I objected to war and my offer was rescinded.
Texas. The One-Star State.
When an ancient philosopher predating the birth of Jesus is too “woke” for your institution of higher learning, I have to question the educational value of said institution.
Texas has to reduce the input of Thomas Jefferson as an Enlightenment philosopher because he was too woke as a slaveowner.
Because he beefed with the church.
Beware the man with one book.
I guess that radical leftist alexander the great will be next, he had man lovers.
It’s Aggies, so no value there to begin with.
You know you’re winning in the “marketplace of ideas” when you have to literally ban the discussion, even the mere mention, of anything you oppose. Solid victory guys. Texas degrees aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.
Gotta love that free speech absolutism.
Now please ban all computers because of sexual preferences of Alan Turing.
Conservatives want to converse the stupidity they had at birth.
So dumb
Just like A&M graduates!
/jk
Takes ass
A diploma from Texas A&M is worth less than the paper it’s printed on.
