    Furthermore, he’s really only talking about the Shakespeare interpretation of that, which took plenty of liberties with the historical accounts.

    There is absolutely no record of him ever saying that. In fact, the opposite is true. We have accounts that he was mostly just screaming and crying in pain the whole time and didn’t say a damn thing.

        Granted, he fucked around by turning an evil republic into an evil empire but still.

            Yeah the problem with defending your vaguely democratic yet wildly corrupt oligarchy from outright tyranny is the plebs don’t care, dude gave them some gold.

            Sure, it was covered in some sticky red stuff, but at least he shared.
