Been thinking a lot about the Roman Empire 😀. Why? Not as something to aspire to, but because it is a sobering reminder of what politics is usually like, putting recent events in perspective.
I have been lucky to live during times when (some of) American, European, and Australian politics seemed, to some extent, to be about deciding on the best policies for society broadly.
Mostly, politics isn't like that.
