I like the part where the mod sticky in the comments claiming it isn't pro-fascism is made by someone with a flair referencing the HRE, or the First Reich if you prefer.
It has an SPQR Roman Eagle symbol too, at least in old-reddit it does. The quote is obviously well before the establishment of the HRE but lets be real chuds on reddit and any redditors in general when referring to Rome in any way whatsoever are referring to the Roman Empire and notions of conquest based imperial power and control. They glorify the whole thing with very little care for the details of how it was administered differently at different points in its existence, most won't be able to tell you what the difference the "Holy" part makes. All they care about is it was their 1000 year Reich and that they want another. I'm deeply suspicious of anyone donning Roman aesthetics that wades into political discussion.... ESPECIALLY on Mussolini.

Are you talking about that cathago delenda est flair? I don't understand how that relates to the HRE, unless there's some other flair I missed.

Thank you for that explanation, that really clears it up for me.
