古希腊圣贤会如何看今日

"Vulgar and audacious…buffoonish and reckless…he stripped political oratory of its decorum, setting the fashion of yelling when addressing the people, and imbuing politics with a triviality and contempt for propriety that soon after would ruin the entire state."--Plutarch

"the man who, with his attacks, corrupted the Athenians more than anyone else. Although other speakers behaved decently, Cleon was the first to shout during a speech in the Assembly, use abusive language while addressing the people, and hitch up his skirts [to move about]."--Aristotle

说的是当年民粹主义者 Cleon.
