If anyone would like to read a thorough take down of Sparta as a state not worth emulating, then ive got just the series of articles for you!

[heroineimages]

Reblogging because pissing on Sparta is one of my hobbies. And yes, totally check out the link above. Brett has a lot of great discussion and scholarship on why Sparta was proto-fascist garbage, and he presents it with both snark and accessibility.

[fierceawakening]

Holy shit. That’s… that’s worse than I thought it would be. Yikes.

[doctorjanedee]

Reblogging because more people should read the ACOUP Sparta takedown and fewer people should get their concept of history from fucking 300.

[fierceawakening]

No one should get their concept of history from 300, and I say that as someone who enjoyed 300. 300 is a comicbookification of a legend, and legends are already exaggerations.

A Great Divorce has also done an audio version of the ACOUP Spart takedown if audio is easier for you!

Give your input on Canada's immigration levels plan

If you're Canadian, please take time to fill out the federal survey on Immigration. If you're Canadian, you're likely already aware of the new immigration policies/crackdown and huge impact it's had in Canada for the past couple of years.

Migrant Rights Network has prepared a great guideline for how to answer the survey. I personally ended up ranting like a weirdo, perhaps too anecdotally. But you can definitely do this better than me!!

Many industries I've worked in have been mostly-male, and I've always been somewhat amused/bemused by one common thread in so many of these grownass men: working-or-middle class men loooooove finding new and 'ingenious' ways to game the system. Play the (work) establishment! Get what's supposedly owed to them!! Brag about it to their peers!! So they'll subtly manipulate rules, find loopholes, ensure they are still technically legal, but still try to make that quick buck somehow.

The concept of 'get rich quick schemes' isn't something new, it's been in the public mindset for decades now. Maybe it exploded in N. America in the 1980s thanks to fucking Reaganomics, but I know it definitely pervaded every inch of the dudes in my work environment from the time I could start working, in the late 1990s. So like from the retail shoe-store, to the Canadian forces, to the video game dev industry, to car mechanics/education public sector.

And it's not just in meatspace, but online as well: grifters, coaches, course-selling, master resell social media tripe.

Anyway, it only just occurred to me (naive, I know) now that this thrill that many men get from playing/gaming the system and get-rich-quick schemes isn't just relegated to the poor and working class. Many men are socialized to aspirations of winning, by finding ways to beat the odds stacked against them (...by the same systems they maintain for status quo).

And this mindset is in many men from all class strata, not just the working class.

A mindset that gets sooooooo dangerous and horrifying when taken out of a small local workplace, and applied to men in huge, terrifying positions of power. Like CEO of a billion-dollar corporation or a huge political power. The men at the top, the men who make or break the lives of millions of people on a whim, are still just trying to 'game the system to their advantage so they can brag on how their 'get rich quick' scheme worked....even if they're already mind-blowingly wealthy.

(ftr, women who equate female empowerment to 'I'm also gaming the system, just like the old boys club do it!!!' are in this bucket too. I'm looking at you Maggie Thatcher! I've just rarely worked in a women-mostly industry, and this is just my own personal musing on the topic of grift. Ugh.)
