If they defended, I don’t know, Beethoven or Goethe or something I could kind of understand it, though I wouldn’t agree. But instead their proof of Western superiority is crappy pop music from the 2000s.

Aeschylus, 485 BC:
I have mastery yet to chant the wonder at the wayside
given to kings. Still by God’s grace there surges within me
singing magic
grown to life and power,
how the wild bird-portent
hurled forth the Achaeans’
twin-stemmed power single hearted…
Alien Ant Farm, 2001:
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
The RETVRN memes write themselves, but old Sargon isn’t having any of it.

He tried but the eagle and turtle stopped him before he could do it, thus saving the world from angloid popculture for nearly 2,5 millenia. Thank you, eagle, and especially thank you turtle, for your sacrifice.
