This legitimately made me think. It's amazing how far we've fallen.
the persians had already invaded greece before thermopylae, and there were greeks from several city-states in the army of defenders.

It's funny, it's almost like that templar rebellion back in the day meant something big, them not wanting to be tax barons for the church. How powerful is the prospect of losingg all your shit? Ask a tax payer. Shit was decided upon and structured long before any of us ever existed. RIP DeMolay

It was an army several thousands strong at least, made up of men from different poleis. Including Lakedaimonians, Thebans, Thespians and Phokians, all of which played the most notable roles in the battle.
The final rearguard was made up of 300 Spartiates and some 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans.

Those were independent city states who would either loose their autonomy or fall under the heel of the massive persian empire they were tangible and could be physically confronted.
Nowadays corporates and political elites control the world, their power is transitory and is intangible in the long term, e.g killing Hillary will not kill the Clinton Foundation and its excesses, killing Corbyn wont defeat the leftist scum that are swarming in UK, Killing a teen popstar wont stop kids from being and acting like degenrates
All of those are based on ideals that are not personified instead individuals are encouraged to idealize those ideals and 'define their individuality' according to the spoofed notions that they are consistently bombarded with as being the norm.
The only solution is war against a yet incomprehensible conglomerate, the machine, the system whatever the fuck you call it, the only difference is that the 300 were facing a similar situation, they died and sparked the cause of resistance throughout the Greek States. Now you are looking at 250+ countries, 7 billion people who are so torn with their own problems they hardly care about their neighbour or the body laying in a pool of blood down the street.
The only enemy who will be victorious on such a wicked world is time. Because no one has the resources, patience or manpower needed to fight them, because they own those very things that will defeat them.
