the movie 300 was more racist and fascist than Frank Miller’s original vision. the Immortals weren’t orcs in the comic for one thing.

or how about the totally superfluous rape subplot, whose only purpose is to imply that liberals are a fifth column who will cuck soldiers while they’re away.

Don't forget they also made 300: Rise of Empire which is probably even worse
Though that is more based around Athenians and Themistocles but still invovles Spartans, and some god awaful CGI at the end of the movie depicting the Spartan navy

the discourse around 300 when it came out was awesome, people were basically like "this documentary shows why we invaded iraq, which is to defend white civilization from the muslim hordes"

Discourse? I was just watching this is sparta clips on YTMND back then.

I started the Bronze Lie and it's great for demonstrating how thoroughly average Sparta was at the one thing they prided themselves on (warfare) and how every other aspect of their society was dogshit not worth protecting, except maybe women's empowerment (compared to most of their neighbors)

Yeah ancient Greece was notably lovely about women's rights in general so Spartan noblewomen being maybe on par with medieval noblewomen puts them ahead of the pack.

Spartan women were also valued as tutors across the Ancient Greek world because they didn’t have any hesitation when it came to abusing kids.

That looks good now, but keep in mind that staying home and managing the holdings was seen as weak poo poo by spartan society. It's the stuff the derided the Messenians for. So they didn't give women that role out of any respect, but because it was below any spartiate.

As a point of comparison, it's like looking back at feudal Spain and going "Wow, they must have really valued and honored their jewish folk, letting them handle so many early financial institutions!" when it was actually 'dirty' stuff they were happy to relegate to a tolerated sub-group.

I would agree with you but this is Matt Taibbi we're talking about, if he ever had any genuine principles he purged them from his soul many years ago
