and now, greek philosopher theatre, by dr_strych9

THRASYMAKOS: He who has the nukes makes the rules.

SOCRATES: You can't be serious.

GLAUKON: I think he was serious. You were serious, right?

THRASYMAKOS: Thus, Socrates, injustice on a sufficiently large scale is a stronger, freer, and a more masterful thing than justice, and, as I said in the beginning, it is the advantage of the stronger that is the just, while the unjust is what profits man's self and is for his advantage.

ARISTOPHANES: I hate you, Milkman Thrasymakos.

I'd never previously considered Milkman Dan as an illustration of the strong doing what they can and the weak suffering what they must.

I hate laughing hard in the morning.

Well done.

I needed that.
