He was known also as one of the last best Emperors, so you take your options with a grain of salt. Honestly, either way you have a choice, either a philosopher or an egomaniac...

People are ready for authoritarianism, whichever flavor is opaque to them.

Of all of us, I was the only one who directly benefited from liberty.

this is why the Founders were so averse to Papists

Roman Catholics were the original enemies of the republic

Popery is indeed afoot, just as the Founders feared

We all benefited, it just matters how much of that freedom we used.

the Woke are not political, it is a religion

thus this will be a sectarian war

to see what that is going to be like, don't look to Gettysburg, look to Ulster

that sectarian war has gone on for 400 years, so pace yourself, it's going to be awhile

don't mind me, I am not trying to stop you

I myself simply decline to be drafted into a sectarian war of mutual annihilation
