Did previous civilizations deal with whiners like this?

"Man, we& #39;ve gotta open the gates."
"We& #39;ve been through this, Phil. The Mongols are still outside."
"But I& #39;ve gotta harvest my turnips"
"MONGOLS"
"Ugh. But we& #39;ve been in here or WEEKS."
"That& #39;s how sieges work, Phil."

"But the Mongols have barely killed anyone in days."
"That& #39;s because of the walls, Phil."
"Are you sure? Maybe the Mongols aren& #39;t that dangerous."
"..."
"I& #39;m just saying, how bad could it be. They can& #39;t kill ALL of us"
"That is literally the thing they do."
"But my turnips..."

Just a whole party of Phils. https://twitter.com/MI_Republicans/status/1250463355468423170">https://twitter.com/MI_Republ...

To clarify for my many, many mentions: no one is saying that we don& #39;t need turnips, or that Phil isn& #39;t hungry. It& #39;s just that you can& #39;t ignore reality just because it isn& #39;t the reality that gets you what you want.

We all want to leave. But your exit & #39;strategy& #39; will get us killed

Sigh.

Talk about being hoisted with one& #39;s own petard; the King of the Phils just HAD to be a Brian. https://twitter.com/wsbtv/status/1252333253526269952">https://twitter.com/wsbtv/sta...
