I don’t believe that you are capable of honest debate of “an interesting historical issue” but this is your opportunity to prove me (and literally the consensus of historians of the Roman Republic and Empire) wrong. Show us all how you are so [wicked smaht](https://youtu.be/Ucz9eV7Eh0s?si=_n7LCRKYquB-EPke) as to demonstrate how Cato the Younger was “was one of those responsible for the end of the Republic”.

You fucking idiot.
