    “In a move straight out of lysistrata, an ancient greek comedy where women withold sexual favours to stop a war”

    I literally read that shit as part of a three month subject in year nine

        It sets a context for people unfamiliar with 4B.

        Most people outside of Korea won’t be familiar with its internal politics, but anyone with the most basic education will know what Lysistrata is about.

          i consider myself to have at least a basic level of education, and this was my first time hearing about Lysistrata

      Yeah we talking about America though. From experience we spend more time on our own states history than the entirety of Greece and Rome, except in relation to why so much Greco-Roman shit is in our country. I’m pretty sure we didn’t cover any Greek comedies.

      You don’t need to know any of that nonsense to be a good little patriotic non unionized factory worker.
