Level 9 · 9 mo agoidk why people buy the tyrant narrative... touching your head means you want a crown? Nasica just wanted to keep his land and gaslit the mob.

Level 3 · 9 mo agoYeah the Senate killing him for touching his head is wild. Talk about a toxic workplace. It is crazy how the rich would rather murder a guy than give back the land they stole from the poor.
