Is Steam mostly just Republicans circlejerking? I’m probably gonna get downvoted here, but seriously, just after reading a few comments on posts on the community page today, common and debunked gems of Republican propaganda constantly pop out. Stuff like: Assassinating Caesar was the only option and Brutus did it to save the Roman Republic this one’s particularly bad, Pompey was bad, but not nearly as bad as Augustus , The Varian Disaster is the beginning of the end for the Principate, Caesar's civil war was the war between good Optimates and evil Populares I wonder where does Cicero fit on this moral scale. These sort of historical hallucinations are no longer taken seriously even in Roman academia and regarded as what they actually are: post-war propaganda, but continue to be spouted by some conservatives in the Empire and are really just as bad as most excuses Augustus uses. Seriously, do people still believe this mythology in 16AD? And if you do, sorry for ruining your circlejerk.
