    Myth: Brutus & his allies in the Roman Senate assassinated Julius Caesar. Fact: They were pre-emptively defending Roman Republic from Caesar's attack.

        I mean, Brutus, Cassius, and Pompey were objectively the heroes standing athwart totalitarianism. They failed and it would be 1800 years before the next great republic.

        Only someone unfamiliar with roman history could make a statement like this. Pompey was a third of the freaking triumvirate for 10 years before this point. They had dictatorial control the whole time until crassus got himself and his army killed in parthia.

        They ‘preempted’ him after he had become, literally “dictator for life”?

        Oh, no, they didn't pre-empt his status as dictator for life. They just moved up the timeframe for that limiting condition to take effect by direct, systemic intervention. With Knives.
