Kleon=Trump?!
*SPOILERS* Just arrived in Athens to a plague wrecking the city, and then I saw Socrates plotting to end Kleon's life and talking about putting words into action. Seemed a bit drastic at first, considering Socrates' character throughout the game, but then I walked a bit further and see Kleon Trump giving a speech about "making Athens great again".
I haven't played further but I really hope this doesn't end up being some self-congratulatory plot where the player is forced to go against him just to make a point.

I honestly don't think drawing parallels between Kleon and Trump is going to sway anyone's mind, but hey, you do you Ubisoft.

nah, kleon is a historical character, this "make athen greate again" theme fits to him in my opinion.

trump was not the first one who used that, not even the first in the USA.

No, Pericles equals Trump. Read some history. Pericles was a populist who brought the lower levels of Athenian society into the democratic process at the expense of the elites. He was a builder who spent vast amounts of drachmae on public buildings while building up the military. Sound familiar? It should.

Only Pericles was intelligent and actually did those things. Trump so far is doing none of those.

i find it interesting that the "cult" is basicly a carbon copy of the (((globalists))) who run 95% of the world.

i disagree i think if anything, you can't deny that trump has stirred a healthy distrust of government.
