You can't explain why you praise the ancient Greeks and Romans despite their being so much like the Confederacy you pretend to despise.

As I said:


Ancient Greece murdered people in cold blood too ... notably Socrates. They had widespread slavery and they were racists. They said barbarians (ie non-Greeks) were natural slaves. Aristotle argued for this position. Athens segregated women in a manner similar to present day Saudi Arabia. So why do you praise ancient Athens who had ALL the sins of the Confederacy and more?


All the things you hurl at America, apply even better to your alleged heroes, the ancient Greeks and Roman:

Americans had slaves and Americans had ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population. Americans also had a Civil War that forced southern states to pay for labor (they wanted free labor and it's this addiction to wanting free stuff that infects the entire gop).

You have a lot of hate in you, but not much rational thought.
