re: #291 electrotek

Ah thanks for the heads up! Wonder if these participants are aware of that?

They probably are, and are depicting themselves as members of The 300, standing against the despot-led foreign horde. They likely have never been told that the Spartans were far worse in their treatment of the peasants than Xerxes ever was.

But most white people in Anglosphere nations do not identify with peasants, they identify with yeoman farmers who owned their own land. But to correct represent those people, these guys would have to display Theban insignia or else build a replica of a Greek trireme and place on its bow a bust of Pallas Athena. For the Spartan ‘Equals’ had no job except war, while farmer-soldiers formed the phalanxes of Athens and Thebes.
