The replies are full of pooners malding, coping and sneeding:
"You think about the Roman Empire a lot? You must be a fascist."
They are just weird white dudes idolizing WW2, unlike me, the enlightened intellectual, who only thinks about such problematic things when forced.
No pithy commentary, the retardation speaks for itself.
As a man myself, I found this trend interesting because I realized just how much I think about the Roman Empire, which led me on an introspective journey to figure out why. Here are the incoherent ramblings of a moron with too much free time:
- Men have a natural inclination to improve or fix things. The Roman Empire's glory was so great its worthy to be imitated and its fall to be learned from. Not to mention the obvious parallels with modern-day USA.
- Conquest. The pooner actually almost had it. There's appeal in the idea of conquering entire regions because of the unique challenges it poses. Not just in terms of battle strategy, but supply lines and governance. Enacting one's will and influencing an entire nation, be it by word or sword is greatly appealing. If you're a eurofag(like yours truly) there's good chance your homeland was once a province of the Roman Empire.
- Making history. Probably the most prevalent one. While this point is more general, it is still relevant to the Roman Empire. Men want to leave a mark. We want to be remembered long after our deaths. History is full of lunatics who did all kinds of unthinkable bullshit they are still fondly remembered for and we can't help but admire them for it. When Caesar got abducted by pirates, he told his captors to ask for a higher ransom, then hunted all of them down once he was freed. Hell, Caesar's name became synonymous with 'emperor' in multiple languages. Hannibal crossed the Alps with bloody elephants during the Second Punic War. Hernan Cortez sailed to the New World with 500 men on 11 ships and toppled the Aztec Empire.
All in all, this silly little trend provides interesting insight into how men think and highlights little differences between the genders. Not to mention the dismay pooners feel when they fail to relate to men is hilarious.
