Ahh yes the sounds of the populist being angered at the great elites… I remember the era of Publius Clodius Pulcher. It was a crazy time for the Roman People, and I hear rumors that now even the United States is starting to have a populist rising.
The Theban has word’s of wisdom for the great Theban Legion. That populism can lead to some crazy times, and be co-opted by dangerous men and women. That does not mean that it is destined to happen though. Populism isn’t inherently evil and the people in these movements have real grievances which the government must address, or risk the damage that comes from ignores ones people.
As the Theban Legion we support these populist. They have many valid reasons to want change. The elites have outsourced, destroyed wages, and hurt all people of all creeds, races, and culture. The elites are crushing the dreams of everyday Americans, and then pretend these people are the problem. The same issues happened in Rome and it lead to an emperor. I implore the populist do not give into the temptation of giving power to one man to destroy your enemy, for surely you will become the enemy of the emperor one day. Instead of giving into that temptation let us run people who understand the plight, and fight the good fight until the very end and win the battle. The American Dream is not dead, and nor are we powerless against those who wish to destroy us.

Jeremiah 51:46 “46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful at the report heard in the land, when a report comes in one year and afterward a report in another year, and violence is in the land, and ruler is against ruler.” Roman Soldiers “During battle, a Roman soldier or ‘legionary’ first hurled his spear at the enemy, then he fought him with his sword. To protect himself, he carried a wooden shield and wore a metal helmet and armour.”
