“I am Spartacus.”
Spartans were known to be brief with their words, mainly because metal left a longer-lasting mark. When getting ready for battle, it’s likely that the commander had to say only a single word. Paratattein (παρατάττειν) is one likely command that Leonidas may have yelled out to prepare his men for battle at Thermopylae.
It’s simple in that laconic Spartan way, and it means, roughly, “Form the line.” No bullshit. No pretty-please. No flowery prose.
“Form the line!”
Fast forwarding to yesterday . . .
“I just heard that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.”
The text was from a good friend that I’d known for decades. I checked it out: /pol/ and X® were already on it. It was true.
In our world, it’s not unusual to get real-life events in nearly real-time, if you know where to look. /pol/, which does not shy away from unfiltered reality, had two videos – one from a distance, and then one from the fourth row. The one from the fourth row was clear: Charlie was dead nearly instantly.
The world changed with that shot.




They shot our messenger.
In my opinion, we have had enough discussion as was said form the line. The commies are giddy with the killing of Charlie Kirk, I did not know or follow him but it had an astute effect on me just as the killing of that young woman on the train. Can we form the line?
Has anyone said that the bullet in Charlie matched the rifle?
The rifle he didn’t drop or carry from the building?
This. Not to mention the inevitable scope bite from that scope mount? He started to openly question his MIGA stance and with his connections to the hearts and minds of the US utes, well,
