If Cato chanted "Nabateans delenda est" for years and suddenly changed to "Seleucid delenda est" after salting the earth, he would've gotten the Gracchi treatment. Maybe some ancient history analogies are useful.

Since I've been writing a chapter about violence in Utah, it seemed prudent to review a TV shows that's all about the topic: American Primeval. I'm very ambivalent about it. Linked below is why ⤵️
