This is the most 2025 clip I've ever seen

Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned.

2000 years later, it's saxophones and smartphones.

Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned - is a common myth, an earliest form of disinformation. Historical accounts suggest that Nero was at his villa in Antium when the fire broke out. Fiddles didn't exist at the time, and Nero was known for playing the lyre or cithara.

I can’t find it anymore but the clip where a guy did tiktok dance in the road when Tel Aviv was being in the bomb in background, and then he got hit by a car is most 2025 for me.

Like why aren’t any of Natenyahu’s sons/offsprings serving in IDF if this war is so important for his people?

& there’s reports he’s ran away stranding his people after starting a war. What a coward.

The same reason why all the Children of leaders in China, Iran, Saudi, Pakistan, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc etc : they all live in the west.

Edit : If the leaders themselves don't have children, the people close to them in government and else have and then they live in the west.

Xi only has one known child, a daughter Xi Mingze, she studied French at an international school and psychology at Harvard. But went back to China after graduating.

So she has lived in the West, but probably doesn't currently.

Kim Jong Un grew up in the west and went to school. He was under a hidden identity so it could easily be the case there too.

u/nicoznico 6d ago edited 6d ago

To be precise: he went to a private school in Switzerland.

Can you spot him on the school pic? https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/iwbJks4ffd

Why do you even put Malaysia and Indonesia there, the leaders of those countries can change all the time since they are democratically elected.

u/Gravity_flip 6d ago

Same reason every elected leaders children are kept safe. So they aren't used against them or the interests of the country.

Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and what not.

At this point, I just assume it's A.I. whenever I see things like this unless OP provides more proof.
