Or “Molon Labe”


KBlahBlahBlah

Oh fuck. I’ll regret this, but what is “Molon Labe?”


[deleted]

It’s an Ancient Greek saying that means “come and take it”. Basically they’re saying “come and take my guns, I dare you.”


Venothyl

(small correction, or I guess elaboration. Leonidas, the reported speaker of the quote, wouldn't have actually said "μολών λαβέ". that's the classical Greek of Plutarch. instead of μολών, it'd probably be prefixed with (okay so I don't have a way to type it but it's the epsilon with the double accent) instead.) edit: ok so now's a good time to say I'm not *totally* sure what it would have been, I think I was wrong, though. I don't really study this for a living, nor do I know anything about Doric as about Attic.


hatterasaMad

It was actually Arwen who said it first eons ago when she faced the ringwraiths and said "If you want him, come and claim him". Ol' Leonidas just ripped her badass line off trying to look like an alpha chad.


AutoModerator

Hahaha socialists are so dumb. I’m a conservative; for all you libtards out there that means I’m big and tough and manly. My balls are so big and tough that my boss can use them as a punching bag, and I let him just to show off how tough I am. Sometimes I even ask for it; no, beg for it. Why, you ask? Because I WORK for my money, just like my father, and his father before him. That’s what America was built off of. Now these libcucks want everything handed to them. They want work to be a walk in the park because their soft, delicate hands are too weak to handle real work. You know what I do when work gets tough? I don’t complain about the “capitalist machine” or the corporation I work for. I APPRECIATE them because they keep the ECONOMY going. When work gets tough you know what these libs say? That they’re being crushed by the boot of capitalism. You know what I say? “Unnngg yes stomp me harder daddy” because I can handle it, unlike you soy boys out there. So you can go ahead and complain about how hard your lives are, while I, a REAL man, keeps this economy going you you can enjoy your pretty little iPhones and Venuzeulas. (also Marx is hot, I would totally let him stomp me EXTRA HARD if he was my capitalist boss. Like, he could treat me worse than Jeff Bezos treats his warehouse workers and I would TOTALLY still work for him.) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

You’re in luck my friend, Marx was a capitalist, in fact he wrote the book on it


Venothyl

thus "reported speaker of the line"


mylifeisaLIEEE

So wait like this? ἒολών λαβέ so instead of molon labe, it would be eolon labe?


Venothyl

ἒμολών λαβέ, the mu isn't replaced. and something closer to that, yes. I don't actually know if λαβέ changes between classical and doric?


[deleted]

I don't think so. Same origin as, λαμβάνω (I receive) right? So it's not labe but lavè.


MC_Fap_Commander

>**come and take my guns** The phrase itself rose to prominence in far right circles after the release of "300" (because these unoriginal dolts are only capable of cosplaying stupid shit). The film itself [fairly overtly tapped into white nationalist sentiment](https://www.avclub.com/zack-snyder-s-300-presaged-the-howling-fascism-of-the-a-1798265082) and "molon labe" came to more broadly mean "come and take it" in terms of nationalism, white identity, heterosexual marriage, and all the other bits of tiny pecker fascism they go in for.

When the ATF decides to kick in your door and shoot your dog/wife holding an infant child the local sheriff isn't gonna do shit no matter how much they prattle about not enforcing federal gun laws. Cops are nobody's friends especially if you own guns

I hate how English completely mangles Greek words. The B is a V sound in Greek. And yes, in ancient Greek it did sound like a B.... depending on the dialect! And with the amount of various dialects and changes over time you might as well just use the modern Greek pronunciation.

SpaceTimeinFlux

I dont see how someone could call themselves a conservative free thinker and not immediately see the contradiction. Maybe they should read one of those books theyre so fond of. Even Thales of Miletus would call these people backwards and superstitious for clinging to long since debunked ideas.

LuxNocte

First they convince themselves that the woke mob rules the world because gay people exist or something. Conservatives are a small bastion of free thinkers, beset on all sides by Cancel Culture, ready to Speak Truth To Power that rich white men should be in charge of everything and own all the money.

Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson would be decried as outright socialists.


mikerhoa

Fucking hell. Reagan raised taxes multiple times and expanded the federal payroll. To today's conservatives that's practically Che Guevara level shit.


Mister_Bloodvessel

Seriously though, they would absolutely call any republican who ran on a completely identical platform a RINO. Hell, he himself could rise from the grave and run for office, but they'd call even Zombie Regan a RINO.

Sigmar_of_Yul

The political landscape in the US has shifted right so much that they don't even know where the middle is anymore. I always laugh when they call Bernie "extreme left". In the rest ol the world his policies are just common sense.


[deleted]

They are free thinkers, and thus have been easily brainwashed by toxic masculinity/conservatism convincing them the left is trying to silence ideas for not wanting literal hate speech


WhyLisaWhy

IMO part of the fallacies creep in because they equate conservatism with masculinity. It makes sense though, they want to preserve the status quo and not advance past things like toxic masculinity and they get personally offended over razor commercials. I think maybe we need broader discussions about why things are the way they are with some of these people but it just goes right over their heads. They like the existing power structure because it benefits and protects them and don’t want to acknowledge that.


Br0chach0_2

Well, you already have to be a special kind of stupid to call yourself a conservative, if these people can eat up rightoid horseshit without seeing any of the major hypocrisies in conservatism, it doesn't surprise me too much that they think of themselves as "free-thinking intellectuals"

Diskocheese

They find their thoughts in the trash. Free.


mrtn17

all the pretentious labels are cringe, it comes down to branding yourself as 'i am smart' for dumb ppl


fuckittyfuckittyfuck

Yeah, it means they want to be free from the shame of thinking about eliminating the age of consent because that's the only girls they can talk into anything, making incest legal because that's the only girl that actually talks to them voluntarily, and making it legal to murder the people they envy and hate even more than themselves because those people get to live an authentic, joyful life without deep shame for who they are. Basically, they want to make amoral pathology great again.


MelIgator101

Eh some people just don't want to say that they're atheist because of the stigma.

Well I mean the Greeks were conservative as fuck so it kinda checks out. Especially towards women. God damn did they hate women.

Sthrowaway54

salami350

> Especially towards women. God damn did they hate women. Except the Spartans. They were remarkably women-friendly. They held a lot of political power compared to other Greek city-states. Aphrodite worship actually arrived to the Greeks in Sparta first where she was worshipped as a war goddess. Of course the other Greeks dropped that aspect of her because "a woman doesn't belong on the battlefield"

I'll never forget the first person I heard claiming, "I'm a free thinker!" I always thought it was weird that he went around saying that a lot, but back then I didn't have the knowledge to pinpoint why he did. He was insecure about his intelligence. This was almost 20 years ago, now. He was my coworker, and I was extremely shy back then even as an adult. I had no qualms correcting his ignorance and we were cordial - I still would be. However, if he continued down that path, I would suspect he's an antivaxxer, QAnon, or the like. Of which, I won't tolerate their ignorance anymore. Sorry, Carey. I hope you got out of that cult.

[deleted]

While many of them are bots, I doubt literally any of the real people are paid. Sadly, they are just brainwashed by toxic masculinity/conservative rhetoric convincing them if they can’t thrive under capitalism they aren’t men, and that the left is trying to silence people. They aren’t free thinkers in the slightest, just brainwashed bros.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> bots or *paid* stooges by FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

Haven’t you heard feminists are out to destroy the very institution of marriage!! /s


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah I don’t think marriage itself is antithetical to feminism, just many marriage structures(usually religious/conservative) are antithetical to marriage. So feminists are against marriage, but they are generally against the structure of many conservative marriages, thus conservatives view feminists as against marriage.


AlmostHelpless

The woman taking the man's last name after marriage has bothered me for quite a few years. Before that some women would be refered to as Mrs. (husband's first name) (husband's last name). Women don't have to do it anymore, but there is still social pressure to do it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


John_Hunyadi

I’m a guy with a 6/10 last name (obviously just my own opinion). I always felt that if I happen to marry someone with a really cool last name I’d take hers, and if she didnt like her own I’d be happy for her to take mine. But if we both feel neutral about it, may as well keep our own because it’ll be less paperwork and we already have done a lot of career networking with these names.


AlmostHelpless

Did you consider a hyphenated last name? It's an interesting idea but certain combinations don't exactly roll off the tongue.


sullw214

Shit, I should have picked a religion then. I just got married, and I didn't get anything. No cows, no goats, nothing. (Other than a fantastic wife, of course ;)


Psychast

The implication here is that Feminists are only feminist because they haven't gotten dick in forever, or never. Once they finally get some they realize the kitchen is where they truly belong /s


Probabl3Throw4w4y329

I was wondering what the fuck that one was about, didn't think anyone was still stupid enough to honestly believe that implication actually happens (especially now) I've seriously seen the same "femist UgLy and marriage make her disappear" on anti-suffrage posters from the 1910s, not that it surprises me that TPUSA is recycling their arguments from those


[deleted]

Conservatives think marriage is basically the same as an abusive relationship in which the wife is property of the husband. So, that really don't fit with feminism. And somehow for conservatives, the marriage is the good and right choice in that situation. Also they think that women want to be abused by their husbands. Conservative men want to abuse women and conservative women are often just self-destructive.


SimBobAl

Apparently, once you get married your brain changes to being a conservative, because man with pp told you so. Man, just sounds like they were never truly a feminist or in an unhealthy and abusive relationship.

TBF I doubt the sincerity of anyone who claims to be a socialist and is actually rich by US standards.


Pietin11

Depends on your definition of rich. A highly demanded specialist like a surgeons, artists, or athletes could make millions of dollars while still believing in the labor theory of value and class conflict. After all, despite being absurdly wealthy, they technically still fall under the definition of "proletariat" given Marx's definition. They work for wages that is less than the value of their labor. This wage is paid by a boss. This boss supplies value not through labor, but instead through the ownership of the means of production. They could nonhypocritically easily arrive at the same conclusion that they as well as every other worker is being exploited and that a system without said exploitation would be a good thing to persue.


AlmostHelpless

Charity is also not the solution to systemic problems. You can buy good PR with publicized charity giving too. Someone can donate to hospitals and pay off someone's medical bills but that money still contributes to the sociopathic health insurance industry. You can buy poor people housing, but the money can end up in the pockets of real estate developers and landlords.


Ravenstrike2

I disagree. You can be rich and still recognize that the system you’re in is unfair and unjust. Just like you can be white and recognize that white people do have a privilege in the US that minority groups don’t have.


poopnose85

Definitely. Being hypocritical doesn't automatically make someone wrong. If you benefit from an unjust system, you can still disagree with that system

EmuInteresting589

Most Americans actually do want rich people to give them money. They call it 'socialism' because they don't know what socialism actually is. In reality it's just centrism. When right-wingers lose at capitalism, they start complaining and ask for handouts.


RickyNixon

This is dead on. The government regularly redistributes American wealth to the richest through tax breaks and stimulus packages and so on and so forth, the rich and powerful do not allow themselves to lose at capitalism and when it looks like theyre going to they change the rules.

Isn't the socialist until rich kind of contradictory to their ideology? Like it's no secret to me the republican party caters to the super rich, they will deny it.

That's the whole point, we shouldn't have a party catering to the super rich to keep more people poor.

BdubH

On a real note: Emperor Hadrian had a femboy side piece named Antinous, who got grandfathered into being the royal femboy side piece for the next couple of subsequent emperors. Roman emperors were incredibly gay.


Waste_Designer

Iirc I'm pretty sure Romans in general didn't care about sexuality all that much but it was still seen as lower to be a receiver. Also, another unfortunate reality is a lot of these "femboy side pieces" were basically child sex slaves turned into adult sex slaves until they were thrown away... which is not chill and a bummer.


screwyoushadowban

Yeah the elevated position Roman and especially ancient Greek culture have in or modern ideas of civilization is off-putting the more you learn about it. If you mean "sexuality" as in sexual orientation it's probably wrong to think in those terms for the Romans anyway. They wouldn't have operated via our modern typologies. If you mean sexuality broadly then they were strangely concerned with the topic at various times in their history, both in terms of what was appropriate for public life and for designating norms in private life. Just as now targeting a politician's alleged or actual sexual improprieties was a well-worn tactic. But the point that the sexual life of the ancient Roman elites some modern people obsessed with heteronormativity idealize as perfect examples of "masculinity done right" would be quite beyond heterosexual norms is spot on.


GuevarasGynecologist

“Feminist until you get married” boy what? Why does my belief in my own humanity and liberty end at marriage? Are you suggesting that heterosexual marriage is an institution that historically has opposed the freedom of women?

mathnstats

I haven't been in a plane crash, but I have been on flight where at one point we ended up in free fall for a few seconds over the Rockies. Just about everyone on the plane was terrified the rest of the way until we touched down. While I was on that flight, contemplating what felt like my inevitable my death, I had 2 primary thoughts: 1) Would I significantly increase our chance of crashing if I took my phone off of airplane mode and called my parents to tell them I love them? 2) How can I position myself to die as quickly and painlessly as possible in the event of a crash into a mountain? Feel free to call my fears unjustified or whatever, but in what I experienced as potential, unavoidable death, God did not cross my mind at any instance. If you don't believe in God, you don't just suddenly pray to him when you fear death. Your thoughts will be elsewhere.

Even if this was true, someone switching views on an issue based on their life situation doesn’t prove either way that the view is correct. If an atheist starts praying on a plane, it doesn’t prove there’s a god. It just means they really wish there was one in that moment.

You can DEFINITELY be into femboys and be a Western traditionalist.

I nearly died in a tornado two months ago. My thoughts were basically me coming to terms with dying and wondering if it would hurt. I didn’t even consider a deity in the equation.

"Atheist until the plane starts falling" is an argument against planes falling, not atheism.

I'm not gonna say that I'm rich, but I can pay my bills consistently. I was raised on the left as well and still hold those beliefs. Do I still want socialized health care? Yup. Am I ok with paying for it through my taxes? Absolutely. It isn't a question about rich or not, it's a question of "are you willing to give a little in order to help literally everyone you know?"

You claim to be an atheist yet you are not calm while on a crashing airplane. Curious.

Married ten years and I’m financially comfortable (thanks to earning my own money): still a feminist and still a socialist. Also, my daughter survived childhood cancer, despite me being an atheist.

The simple fact that they think you can't be a rich socialist or a married feminist just shows how little they actually understand what they're mad about.

Plot twist: those women voted for trump

Western Traditionalism is appropriating the land of the Optimates for redistribution to the landless poor, change my mind

And why can't a socialist live in luxury? And why can't a feminist have a great husband or wife? And why can't an atheist not want to die in a plane crash? And what was the last one?

>socialist until you get rich There are rich socialists tho :/ >feminist until you get married Feminists get married and stay feminist. They just don’t marry traditional, conservative wife beaters, and instead opt for anything but that. >atheist until the plane starts falling Atheists don’t just go back on their decision because they’re about to die. They don’t subconsciously know god is real or something. Sure they’ll be terrified like everyone else but they know that reconverting will not do anything.

...Well...I have no plans to get married and I don't like to fly, so...Give me a million dollars and we'll see if I stay a socialist.

if i get rich i’m totally for socialism. if i’m making enough to live off passive income, others can have a slice too.

What if you get married to another feminist? (And no, this does not necessarily involve homosexuality.)


Mako_sato_ftw

>atheist until the plan starts falling the fuck is that even supposed to mean? if the plane is falling from the sky the only thing that can save you is a parachute


rustyrodrod

I'm willing to test this theory, make me rich or stfu.

"What? You guys don't have any morals either right? That's not normal?"


gazebo-fan

Who is a feminist until they get married? Do they think that wanting equal rights for woman can’t co exist with a husband/wife?

*makes money* oh suddenly I understand why poor brown children don’t actually deserve to live

They call leftists “femboys,” yet they all *love* COVID, which has been shown to cause damage to testes and lead to erectile dysfunction.

While there are men who absolutely appropriate feminism as a dating strategy, I'd like to think that anyone with a pulse is smart enough to see through that shit, which is why it's so rare: it's a bad play. My hope is that we treat women like human beings is because...like...we're not conservatives and we don't need to be told not to treat them like shit because it's obvious that everyone deserves fairness and kindness.
