Please, don’t make me choose between Rome and libertarianism. I love them both too much.
The Roman Empire may be very fascinating from a historical perspective, but let’s be realistic, most of the people at the top there were absolutely terrible, tyrannical, often murderous bastards witha completely self-centered sense of morality.
Any true Roman Empire appreciator would happily be devoured by lions for the amusement of Emperor Nero.

Weeell… If you actually look at some of the things the elites back then did and how the place was run, it was pretty damn extreme, even compared to today’s Trump era. Just two examples out of many to look up would names like Crassus or Caligula. As far-fetched as it may seem looking at just the modern world, I actually would argue that the sheer degree of general bastardry has come down a lot since then.
Yeah that’s fair, the west is only one part of the world though. Plenty of mad stuff happening elsewhere!
Bold of anyone in this day and age thinking they would be anything but a peasant in Rome
You misspelled “slave”
None of the above is a valid option.
So what is a valid Option?
None.
SENAUTA POPULUSQUE ROMANUS
Some of these look familiar but I have no idea what any of these are.
Top left is a flag of the USSR
Top right is the symbol of the Roman senate
Bottom left is an anarchist/queer/antifascist movement
Bottom right is the Gadsen flag, often associated with right libertarians
Which is an unfair association.
Agreed, it should be this
Why is that an unfair association?
Because the Rattlesnake had a long history as a political symbol for the unity of the thirteen colonies and was meant to serve as an example of the revolutionary ideals.
Gadsen himself was a staunch supporter of John Adams (though he was, paradoxically an enthusiastic eslavist) and he spent time in prison during the war as he couldn’t give his word to a “false system”.
Sadly, the right has been misappropriating revolutionary symbols and that’s what I meant as unfair.
Do you live under a rock?
Some of these look familiar but I have no idea what any of these are.
Are you being serious right now?
None pizza with left bottom
Don’t mind the rest of the lower left, but I’m there mainly for the antifascist bit.
Where’s the pint glass and live music square?
Found the griller.
Genuinely unsure what that is
To preface, it was a joke and I meant no disrespect.
It’s an expression that relates to centrists on the political compass; the people that have no strong ideology that pull them too far into the quadrants.
The joke is that while the four quads are warring that they’ll host the barbecue like nothing is going on. Just grilling for the neighborhood.
Very similar to most Americans today - the world is burning but many just keep living as though it’s all cocktail parties and weekends in Vail.
Bottom right
There’s another
I’m about the far left side of yellow.
I want universal health care(even though I’m fairly healthy) and universal childcare( despite me not having children). But I also want an armed proletariat.
im girl and my personality is three of these
