Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

I consider Sulla a usurper of the Roman Republic. He overthrew the Republic essentially. He was a Caesaristic. He defeated my people, the Cimbris and Teutones.
He fought against King Jugurtha who I have great respect for. He also fought against the Mithradic Kings which I do not like in the least either. Sulla violated everything Rome had stood for previously.

The usurpers of the Republic were the Marians and his populist confederates. Sulla was elected consul and was tasked by the Senate to fight Mithridates the Great and was overthrown as a result by these rascals because Marius wanted the glory of defeating this the great king who had become such a menace to the Rome's territories. If anything Sulla waged a successful counter-revolution against the Marians.

Yeah, I used to like Marius, and maybe I still do, but he went too far in militarizing the Roman Empire.
I am not a fan of the Romans for some reason, but rather my people the Northern Europeans, who were constantly under barrage from the Romans.
I would have probably favored the populists over Sulla who laid the foundations for the establishment of the Roman Empire which served to menace my people in Germania. In essence, I have no respect for either Marius or Sulla.
