    This line of thinking is crazy to me cause I don’t see what’s so admirable about Sparta.

    That’s the thing, they know nothing about Sparta. They just have a vague idea that Spartans are ruthless warriors that kill everything. They want to feel like they are psychopathic badasses.

        And even then not understanding what it was about. Same ones that use songs without permission and without comprehending the lyrics.

      Same shit as their obsession with the Punisher. They don’t think about how the Punisher kills cops and has explicitly said he’ll kill any cop that imitates him. That doesn’t matter though because his logo and style are cool and that’s where their thinking on it begins and ends.

      Spartans were tough guys in cool helmets that doesn’t afraid of anything so that’s that for them. Kinda fitting for them that they want to emulate a society with insitutionalized pederasty though.
