I'm pretty decent at Roman history. Lately I had been reading more about how stupid Crassus was. Though perhaps not as deep as you - considering you, a jew, are obsessed with hating Rome over 2000 years after they scattered your kin and razed your wretched Satanic temple.
It's okay, you don't have to disingenuously wish me a Merry Christmas, a holiday which you despise. Your annual celebration of slaughtering Greeks is over now I suppose
Crassus gets a bad rap because of his Parthian campaign. Which, obviously is well-deserved. Military leadership was not his strength though, and he was unlucky to live in a time when military leadership was a necessity of greatness. Augustus had the same failing, but luckily had Agrippa to carry him through the military maneuvering.
Crassus, like Augustus, excelled in other fields. I believe it's pretty obvious that he was Caesar's biggest hurdle though, not Pompey, who was also a pretty terrible military tactician. Crassus took care of himself though, leaving Caesar with the opportunity to deal with the lesser threat. But we remember Pompey as Magnus and Crassus as a buffoon because one of them lost to a god, and the other lost to mere barbarians.
Lol I don't hate the ancient Greeks or the Roman empire though. They are the cradle and training grounds of our civilization. I happen to believe it's a pretty swell civilization we've managed to build upon the foundation they handed down to us.
I also don't dislike Christianity for the same reason, I believe it has profoundly and positively impacted the course of humanity. In fact, the translator/historian I just mentioned wrote a book I'm currently reading called Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind, which is entirely dedicated to this subject. I'm not too far in yet but I agree with everything he's said so far.
I wish many people a merry Christmas every year and I assure you I am very rarely trying to indoctrinate them into transing or accepting a lot of refugees or whatever it is that you believe is going on. I mean... Obviously I do that sometimes. None of us are perfect
