Every time I think I understand how crazy the broligarchs are, I learn something new about them that tells me I underestimated that.

Not right wing but I honestly don’t mind a nice giant statue. The Prometheus one sounds pretty awesome actually.

Ozymandias.

Even though people invoke him as symbolic literary figure representing the transience of power and human ambition, the actual person, Ramses II, accomplished many positive things.

For instance:

- strengthened Egypt's borders and secured trade routes, maintaining stability and prosperity

- the world's first recorded peace treaty with the Hittites

- prompted Egyptian religion, art, and culture on a grand scale

- lasting historical influence

Ramses II's reign marked the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Golly gosh, Mussolini only made the trains run on time.
