It was not what he did before declaring himself 'Emperor for life', because Caesar never declared himself Emperor.

The initiation of the civil war was not because Caesar decided to deploy troops as a matter of suppressing popular dissent, but because the Senate, at the behest of the ultraconservative Cato the Younger, was hell-bent on having the reformer Caesar executed for behavior of his that the Senate had already sanctioned, and preventing the democratic popular assemblies from saving him.

Caesar, quite famously, did not repress his political enemies, even during the civil war; those political enemies who remained in territory he controlled were left unharmed and unimpeded; those who fought against him were unconditionally pardoned. Many of them went on to stab him several years later, so it's not like he was pardoning just the harmless ones.

Caesar's appointment as dictator in perpetuity was not preceded by military crackdowns.
Other way around, I believe. Pertinax is commonly pointed to as one of the best potential Emperors, and I think Kyrgizion is saying that Pertinax is one of the few good ones that they killed, not one of the many terrible ones.
STTL, Emperor Pertinax!

Still works for me, looks like!
Global warming and proxy wars around the world will kill millions of people, so it’s less that I “don’t give a shit about you” and more “I see larger dangers on the horizon”
Ah yes, the GOP, the well-known champions of reducing emissions and proxy wars.

Thank god, now you can indulge in all your favorite conservative fantasies under the paternalistic gaze of the PRC.
That was the goal, right?
