  1. They were never yours. They were Roman. And yes, while you had slaves, the Persians had rights for women

  2.  @augustus8913  As you probably know, the quote was from during the Eastern Roman Empire. Hence "Constantinople", named for Constantine and not "Byzantion". The Greeks in that age saw themselves as the continuation of Rome. They were romanized and christianized. Although Greek was the language of the empire, and Greek culture had a strong influence on Rome, absolutely no Greek didn't see themselves as Romans first and foremost, during that period. But God bless you for joining in, whilst barely understanding the subject at hand.

  3.  @cliffc2546  Ah yes, the same Churchill who supported supremacy in the dominions and when asked about the rise of Germany said "We can export our expertise in bombing N*****rs". There is no "great replacement" except for the ones committed by colonial Europeans, mate.

  4.  @matrinezkevin11492  Current slave trade. Interesting. You mean women trafficked to the west for prostitution? Organ sales from Chinese political prisoners? Abducted children sold to western agencies for adoption? Hell... I'll go even lower and say this: Having two jobs, no healthcare and barely affording food and rent, while your employer in Amazon and Walmart have record profits every year? Yeah, mate. Modern slavery is completely abolished in the West... My original comment was regarding how Greeks lift up Rome and are derogatory towards Persia, when they were clearly more civilised. Also, I'm not defending backwards Muslim countries, but relatively, Muslim Today still have more rights than they ever had under Roman and especially greek law. It's a good thing that the Greeks became less Greek, but their antipathy towards other cultures (and it really is all of them - Slavs, Albanians, Turks) is unproductive and speaks of how immensely arrogant the tiny Lilliputian nation of modern Greece sees itself today. And I love the Greek people. I volunteered in 2016 to help Greece during the refugee crisis. They're a lovely people, but they really need to lose their self-image of being a great culture. They're lovely, fascinating and unique, but not important or powerful.
