🔴 Alexander the Great and the Opis Mutiny
🔸 In August 324, Alexander's soldiers revolted. They were discontent because of their king's orientalism.
🔸 The speech, as it has reached us, was no doubt written by Arrian rather than Alexander. His actual words are now impossible to ascertain. But Arrian had access to eyewitness accounts which are now lost (mainly Ptolemy and Nearchus), and modern historians generally agree that the speech was a real historical event, and that Arrian gives a good representation of its likely content

‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️
🔴 The Social Democratic government in Botkyrka in southern Greater Stockholm is now investing an additional six million tax kroner in creating what is called a "special team" of social secretaries who will speak to young gang criminals in court
🔸 The decision comes after local politicians took part in the police's preliminary investigations with conversations between gang criminals via the Encrochat app, whose encryption was recently cracked by French police.
🔸 They say they did not know that the criminal gangs are so violent and now, according to the chairman of the municipal board, Ebba Östlin "they are worried"

🟢 This is the problem of living in a bubble for decades, you forget that some people are bad and if you treat them with the same principle you treat good people, you become another victim

/GBG/🟢 Die Linke is probably the most leftist party in all of Germany, dont be mistaken, most leftist parties in Germany are anti-Turkey and against selling weapons to Turkey but they are as always in favor of diversity, "refugees" and islamization, some of these parties also have Turkish politicians working in key positions inside their parties
