    Whenever I see people show an unusual level of interest towards the ancient Romans and the idea of "strong men", certain alarm bells go off.

      I almost feel the opposite seeing shit like this almost reassures me they aren't gonna do anything other than make memes where they label themselves the chad.

      Like maybe it's hypocritical of me to say "this is stupid but also it actually applies to me" but I have a hard time reading this shit and not thinking "greatest generation won world War 2, hard men made good times, boomers enjoyed those good times and then pulled the ladder up behind them, everything went to shit, and now the youngest generations are worse off in every quantifiable way." Seems like they're little truism holds up, they're just the bad guys to anybody capable of material analysis.

      It's dumb enough to post it, it's even dumber when it's being posted by a literal apartheid beneficiary who's absurdly soft both physically and mentally.

      Because they think that if they had a time machine they wouldn't be the cowards they are now but warriors. They are giant Bs now, they would just be a B with a time machine. It's just an alternative reality where they aren't what they are, why would time change anything.
