"Rome fell because of communism" has destroyed me afjkal;j; lmao im having a blast.
but yeah no in order to explain a month long constitutional crises that took place in 120 BCE and had little impact (but can maybe be spun as the cause of the death of the empire some 580 years later) I have to explain all of the history from 550 BCE up to that point. that's just how my brain works. apparently
3000 years from now an autistic catboy is going to be doing a similar degree of infodumping trying to contextualize an explanation of NFTs or the covid plague or jan6 to a group of people with absolutely not even a shred of knowledge about any of it, and isn't that beautiful
hi autistic catboy scholar of the future, we don't have a good explanation for it either. definitely not a "had to be there" type situation, its equally confusing for us.
sincerely hoping you're very confused by the concept of currency, let alone why anyone would want it tied to bad copy-and-paste images of ugly primates
I assure you, we're confused about the last bit too, but unfortunately the first bit isn't seen as absurd enough by enough people yet
