Harmeet Dhillon at NatCon: "When the next group of elites comes to demand we stop protecting fairness in hiring, confidence in our elections, safety in girls sports, we're going to answer them the same way that Leonidas answered on the eve of the Battle of Thermopylae: Molon Labe. Come and take it."

In the Battle of Thermopylae (480BC), a small force of Greek soldiers fought valiantly against a mighty Persian army, knowing they could never win.
