Besides the horrifying parts (fascist conservative dictatorship, proscriptions, mass murder), it's hilarious to me because what Sulla did didn't even work; the post-Sulla settlement dissolved when Caesar crossed the Rubicon 30 years later.

In effect Musk is saying "we need to do mass murder to stem the liberal tide, but then get washed away by that very same tide within a generation," anyone with actual historical knowledge of this period would say this makes zero sense.

      This current trend that has developed over the past ten years is totally analogous to these two things that happened hundreds of years apart during the Roman Empire :soypoint-2:
