Would Plato have voted for Trump?

Drumpf is as removed from the concept of Philosopher King as it gets.

>Platon
>voting

That's were you're wrong kiddo.

>>9110501
Sorry, this thread is about Plato, not 'Platon'. You need too learn basic english

Trump is an anti-intellectual populist. He's also quite boring.

>mfw anglos call Platon "Plato"

Why does English bastardize everything?

>>9110524
Bannon is too shady. He's a Theban.

>mfw plebs call Aristocles "Platon"

>>9110489
I think he may go down a path similar to Pheidon of Argos

>>9110489
Both Trump and Hillary would be so far left of him that he wouldn't have voted at all.

Plato wouldn't live in this shithole country, atleast we would never produce someone like Plato. Our premier Philosophers are Joe Rogan and Black Man Science.

Btw all you faggots meming about his "name", Platon is a nickname if you didn't know.

>believing the hellenistic nickname meme

Platon was a common name in Greece at the time with 31 instances in Athens.

yes

>>9110498
This assumes that Plato is saying that the ideal ruler is actually a philosophy king. Does Plato even want couches in his city though?

>Person I don't like does X which is bad. I'm going to compare X to Y which I support. This comparison will implies I realize that Y is bad. While I started my argument by attacking my opponent for doing a bad thing, the conclusion of my argument is not that we should do fewer bad things but more or different bad things.
This is the shittiest normie meme.
Progressives try to tell me that America has no unifying culture, but how do they explain every single one of their countrymen using or falling for this argument at least 5 times a day?

>>9110540
If you don't want to speak English, you don't have to.

another normie baited by the master troll

>"The morality of torturing terrorists is not comparable to the morality of killing terrorists"

Are you retarded?

>>9110911
Torturing terrorists and the a country killing its own citizens with drone strikes are both wrong. One is less wrong than the other (although in the case of al-Awlaki that's up for debate), but both are sufficiently wrong that a country should avoid them. It's precisely pragmatic that got al-Awlaki killed, and while his death is undeniably a good thing, the means through which it was achieved legitimized a dangerous precedent. Torturing terrorists would do exactly the same thing.

>>9110935
Depends. If the torture is limited, and comparatively mild, it will of course be a far better option than the drone strikes, but there is a line that can be crossed.

>>9110935
He isn't questioning the morality of killing citizens he is making an argument for the use of torture.

It is much more illegal (and thus immoral) to kill US citizens without trial than it is to torture non citizen enemy combatants. Thus anyone who dissents must also condemn the Obama administration, debasing any liberal critics.
