“We constantly fail to learn from history: even recent history. But especially from ancient history. Especially when it comes to doing nasty things, like overthrowing republics, enslaving people, and pushing tyranny. From dynastic conflicts and conspiracies in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, through the checkered and sickening history of Greek city-states and Phoenician/Carthaginian tyrants, to Rome, France, England and all the way to 2025, we know that power corrupts, that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but that even a little power can and usually does corrupt those who hold it. Especially when it is stolen.” (11/10/25)
