Molon labe. Two words. Ancient Greek. And zero ambiguity about what comes next.
King Leonidas sent those exact two words back to Xerxes when Xerxes demanded the Spartans lay down their weapons- and then 300 men held a mountain pass for three days against an army so large it reportedly blocked out the sun. They didn’t survive. But they stopped something that had no business being stopped, and the ripple of that decision changed the course of Western history.
This phrase has been co-opted by white nationalist groups. We are taking it back. Fortis Fidei is owned and operated by a Black woman. White nationalist ideology doesn’t just conflict with our values- it targets people who look like me. The Fortis Fidei community does not support or condone white nationalist ideology in any form. Molon labe belongs to everyone with the courage to hold the line.
For the person who has drawn a line and will not cross it. Who stands for something worth defending. Who understands that holding your ground is sometimes the most important thing you can do- and who is completely clear that this design has nothing to do with white nationalism and everything to do with courage.
