Lol, get wrecked you marble licking, Caesar’s Legion playthrough of IRL, strong men in weak times nonsense spouting, ahistorical 19th century dude bullshiting about a mideval dude’s bullshit believing dweeb chuds. Rome had a trans Emperor who would have been able to crucify you.
strong men in weak times nonsense spouting
And they’re never smart enough to realise that in their own nonsense ahistorical bullshit, they are the weak men creating the hard times.
The ancient Roman idea of Strong Man would fucking horrifying them. As they should. Ancient Roman dudes were fucking next level shitty. Most of these people haven’t even killed anyone. Ancient romans were known to be brutal and misogynistic dullards to a level that was remarkable throughout the rest of the ancient world.

Nice
tbf Caesar is a really interesting historic figure.
I got the Michael Parenti book, so it’s ok
I’m a History Guy but I generally have avoided the Dad History topics of the Romans, Crusades, Napoleon, Civil War and ww2. I’ve eventually had to deal with the last 4 to some extent but I will never ever study a battle. You can’t make me. I’ve got the before and afters of Rome, I was super into ancient Greece as a kid and I’m currently very into mideval history and I’ve gotten my rome from a combination of those. I’ve had some shallow dives that I guess would be deep as hell to most and its super interesting but I’ve gotta finish my mideval jams before going back to slave empires, I almost have a comprehensive view of history for a materialist perspective that I could get around to writing something publishable about so I’m trying to fuck around less.
The French Revolution and it’s immediate aftermath is critical to understanding the cultural and political climate that produced Marxism. Avoiding it is doing yourself a disservice.
I meant more the Napoleonic wars and it’s specifics. I know the important shit, I just don’t care about the Master and Commander stuff, aside from that movie which rules. That’s more what I meant.
Yeah deus vult chuds get the wall

“Soooo, you think these guys were mostly white huh?”
And that’s the damn start. The amount they would fucking hate that world, even disease and shitty food and communal poop stick aside, they could NOT hack it. We couldn’t either. It was not a great place to be, even if they weren’t a slave, they’d become one in the first week.
