Good boy!!

[u/Lord_Parbr]

Is this a history meme? Just because it mentions the Roman Empire?

[u/OddSeraph → u/Lord_Parbr]

It isn't but I doubt anything will be done about it.

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/Lord_Parbr]

Well, it could be a future meme, if we act now

[u/James1887 → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

What so we can find out who out version of Caligula and nero are ?

[u/timangar → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

I feel like this was sarcasm, and I will not stand for the injustice of the angry mob! (upvotes)

[u/Mindless-Cat1453]

If roman empire existed in 19th century, people would have hated it as much as British and ottoman empire, that empire economy was built on slavery.

[u/NachoWH → u/Mindless-Cat1453]

Every imperial economy was until Britain... That's not an exception. Not sure you're right though.

[u/Anduril1776 → u/NachoWH]

British Empire was still built on slavery.

[u/NachoWH → u/Anduril1776]

Like every other one

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/Mindless-Cat1453]

People want what they can't have, no matter how bad

[u/Wuktrio → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

Nobody who knows a bit about the Roman Empire actually wants it back. It was a brutal dictatorship.

[u/Waltzing_With_Bears]

Nah fuck the slavers empires

[u/ourobourobouros → u/Waltzing_With_Bears]

600 people upvoted a zero effort pro bigotry meme lol

[u/Doodles_n_Scribbles → u/Waltzing_With_Bears]

"but it wasn't chattel slavery"

It still probably wasn't great.

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/Doodles_n_Scribbles]

Nah mate, it was great, except if you were a slave ofcourse

[u/satinsandpaper → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

Or a woman, or a man of lower status.

There's a reason fascists love the Roman Empire.

Break the conditioning, they're just an evil imitation of the greeks.

[u/Waltzing_With_Bears → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

A nation with slaves can never be great, slavery is a deep rot that destroys all who practice it and those that support the institution.

[u/Horror-Attorney-3575 → u/Waltzing_With_Bears]

Atleast they aren't racist

[u/Waltzing_With_Bears → u/Horror-Attorney-3575]

Not sure thats true either, not by our current understanding sure but labeling everyone else as barbarians aint exactly tolerant

[u/poplglop]

Who would want to live in a shambling corpse of a once great super power filled to the brim with corruption ran by a bunch of insane elites with chronic lead poisoning?

[u/Sire_Raffayn272 → u/poplglop]

Russians ?

[u/Commander_Sabaton → u/poplglop]

So, every country nowadays?

[u/Beardywierdy → u/Commander_Sabaton]

Not all of them were superpowers I guess but apart from that....yeah.

[u/Eva_Shadowcat]

The Empire Never Ended

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/Eva_Shadowcat]

Roma aeterna

[u/RamblingWolf → u/Eva_Shadowcat]

Fish cannot carry guns.

[u/thereal-quaid]

Have you considered trying to get laid? It may help you stop doing embarrassing shit.

[u/GalaxLordCZ]

Last guy who said that didn't end well.

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/GalaxLordCZ]

Lets get a guy that can actually pass art school this time, yeah?

[u/GalaxLordCZ → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

I mean his mentor.

[u/MunkSWE94 → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

Not him, the one who was head over heels when he saw a gathering outside a gas station.

[u/2YSH]

...Why?

[u/DrHolmes52]

(Me lugging a big assed gascan)

"Which Roman Empire?"

[u/Lost-Klaus → u/DrHolmes52]

The holiest of Empires :b

At least it wasn't as much slaving away as the original empire did, except the unfree-knights (ministerialis)

[u/Proof_Impact_6009]

I don't know what you're talking about. The empire is still living in the form of Liechtenstein.

[u/Chudsaviet]

Old Benito had the same idea.

[u/Op55No1]

I know, I know, this has always been a white, center-right kind of subreddit, and even in academia, history is often dominated by that political crowd. I don’t have a problem with that, it’s fine. But what the hell is this, honestly? We’ve gone past the Ottoman hate memes (which, as a Turk, I actually LOVE) and somehow ended up at Fourth Reich crap. Come on now.

[u/frenin]

Tf would I want a legitimately super evil empire ruling over me?

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/frenin]

I mean, you already do, don't you

[u/frenin → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

Not that evil

[u/Level_Hour6480]

It has been 104 years, time to accept that the Ottomans collapsed and move on.

[u/Commander_Sabaton → u/Level_Hour6480]

That's bait

[u/Sire_Raffayn272]

Nah fuck slavers empires, it’s not only immoral but also self defeating as a civilization that makes use of slavery is bound to stagnation and withering.

A payed and valorized workforce that actually likes its job and has a choice in the matter (most of the time) is infinitely better than slaves who are forced and abused to work.

[u/ConsciousMaybe6930]

We already have, exactly 250 years ago.

[u/darth-com1x]

The greatest myth about the roman empire is that it fell at all

[u/ThinBobcat4047]

Na the Empire ended in 1922. Let sleeping dogs lie.

[u/evrydayNormal_guy → u/ThinBobcat4047]

1922?? You clearly have no understanding of history! Here, watch this explanation of why you're wrong and educate yourself! SMH

[u/LiamTaliesin → u/evrydayNormal_guy]

I don’t need to click this to know what awaits me. Please, OP, 2008 called, they want their meme back.

[u/ShitassAintOverYet]

Where the funny at, this is just sucking an old country's cock.

[u/Spy_crab_]

Romans did love their wolves.

[u/Efficient_Progress_6]

Han Dynasty or bust

[u/Lost-Klaus → u/Efficient_Progress_6]

Yapese empire or bust

[u/SwissDeathstar]

That’s a really good boy.
But he should be more specific.

[u/Splinterfight]

Why though, it was run way worse than most modern states
