Why would you root for the romans even though they were killing enslaving and raping your ancestors?Makes no sense.

Germans enslaved and raped Romans in turn lol
Not in the same scale as the romans for example Gaul was absolutely demolished since ceaser its the most "Latinised" region in western europe to this day.
This position makes sense with the contemporary germanic chieftains and mercenaries but not with the modern european nationalists.
And before that, the Gauls had repeatedly invaded Roman territory, torched Rome, and carried off Romans as slaves.
rome was extinguished and all romans were enslaved total shittalian death from gaul iberia to rome
Sextuplets of truth
>RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE
Kill yourselves
I value meritocracy over nepotism.
I'm embarrassed by the fact that my ancestors were a bunch of Ooga Booga savages while Greeks and Romans built the Parthenon and Pantheon
Your ancestors either started a farm
in America or worked in a factory. If you go any further back in history you’ll find that you are related to everybody and that your ancestors come from every people group except maybe some isolated islanders and childless deadbeats.
The pantheon was built by an arab architect.
Why? they we're High T brolic headhunters (especially the germanic and northern atlantic celtic tribes) who we're at the very least individually stronger than like one if not two roman legionaries (especially the more indigenous tribes). Fuck I want would embarrassed about I wish I was a quarter of the men they were.
Your ancestors were ratlike creatures that ran away from dinosaurs. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing. Your ancestors also built medieval cathedrals, an achievement no lesser than any ancient building. And YOU, here and now, are at the apex of human development. So don't fucking squander it by thinking of the past, rather than the future.
nagger. He's not a germ. Hes a larper.
No one sane would claim to be ashamed
they weren't really ooga booga savages.
It can't have been that bad since in Northern England there is a bronze plaque erected by a Caledonian trader. So if you are doing that then it must be civil in some sense.
Historically, most of europe was christian and christianity was to be associated with rome, in the middle ages its name still retained certain authority and prestige and was a good wat to keeo oeasants scared. If you were rhe emoeror or rome you were the shit as rome was big.
In the neoclassic periods glorification was more towards classical greece than towards rome. Rome comes by the extent of greece.
As romance speaker I'm glad my Roman grandpa raped grandma
We also descend from the conquerors, not only the conquered. People tend to indentify more with that side usually. See the berbers.
Romans barely left any genetic impact outside the italic oeninsula. Maybe in iberia and thats it.
Most of the Romanaboo larpers would be slaves.
I like the costumes.
By the 5th century it was Pro-Roman Germanic tribes defending a bankrupt empire against Germanic tribes that had gotten pushed off the steppe and had no cultural tradition of fighting for the Roman state. Arminius was betrayed by his own people who didn't fancy a nearby tyrant over a tyrant that lived on the opposide side of the Alps. After Valentinian, Germanic soldiers loyal to the empire and were the only reason it even lasted as long as it did.
Turns out nobody really wants to live in an anarchic state on the knife's edge of starvation where death is one flash flood or marauder ambush away, they want to chill and grow their net worth so that their children live better and more fulfilled lives. The failure of Romans and Germanics to properly integrate is a failure that cost both peoples dearly for centuries, an intact Roman Empire would have preserved European history the way that Chinese have records that go back that far
nice fake af fantasy.
in the 5th century it was blood thirsty germanics who were sated by roman gold seeing an opputunity to slaughter romans and taking it
it was Roman legionaries from families with a history of service doing what legionaries had always done throughout their history: mutiny over shit living conditions. Only at that point in history the state was too weak to stop their chimp out from raging out of control
Italy prospered under Ostrogothic rule and it was the ERE's attempt at reconquering it that really set Italy back centuries
China was on the verge of industrialization until it was conquered by backwards steppe invaders, the positives outweigh the negatives and the moral of the story is don't let yourself get conquered by backwards steppe invaders or they'll set you back centuries
China got its progress set back not one but a thousand times by its own rulers. Read more.
Caesar burned the Library of Alexandria and Vikings ransacked monasteries. What's your point?
>Caesar burned the Library of Alexandria
Point in case, under a single political entity the systemic destruction or prohibition of developement is bond to happen
But the overall efficiency of development is faster when political unification permits peaceful trading over larger distances while allowing supply chains to grow deeper and more complex over time and thus facilitate further investments in labor saving technology and information flow. It is true that a high level equilibrium trap can form which stunts development but that can happen in decentralized societies as well
records say it was the Germans who slaughtered and torched everything in site except maybe allowing a few churches to survive due to superstition.
>Turns out nobody really wants to live in an anarchic state on the knife's edge of starvation where death is one flash flood or marauder ambush away, they want to chill and grow their net worth so that their children live better and more fulfilled lives
They wouldn't want to live inside the late roman empire especially in the Italian peninsula other provinces were way more prosperous and richer than it
Roman empire was better off dead.
A big political entity like those of china makes the continent bond to a single authority that can eventually chimp our and burn everything related to the last dynasty they didn't liked just like chinese.
Europe would be trapped in between inquisitions and religious chimpouts in between the iron age and medieval era forever.
The fact that the continent fragmented was a boon. as there is always a back-up state where things are preserved if one chimped out like lets say. Iberia after inquisition
>By the 5th century it was Pro-Roman Germanic tribes defending a bankrupt empire against Germanic tribes
In the East the foreign contingents in the Roman army were essentially non existent outside of small allied Gothic forced which were cancelled after Valens' Gothic wars. Only in the West was enrolment in the army actually practiced and it was in no way 'pro-Roman' or even highly widespread. It was a punishment to the losers of a conflict that they had to provide a certain amount of men into permanent service. Many times when a group were invited into the Empire they were just killed when they didn't care to manage them or thought they didn't need them any more before they were even attempted to be integrated.
Idk, honestly i don't even know why the white euros would rather be on a continental entity that includes the brown arabs in the south rather than eurasia as a whole.
I have always been fonder of east asians than them
I think its just the "white" meme amerimutt spread.
Fucking implying
My family is deeply entrenched in Sicily and has an old time coat of arms from the 1500s
My ancestors (british) were doing nothing of value before the romans came along
and you could say they are no longer doing anything of value.
I don't. Im proud my ancestors saw romans as a prize and decided to conquer what they saw as property
Then that makes them your ancestors
