When my partner asked me that I didn’t know it was a thing and stereotypically answered about once a day. I didn’t get a chance to explain that it’s an urbanism and critical geography thing in the same way that I think about the Catholic church at least once a day. You can’t think about a history of Europe without thinking about Rome and the Christian schisms that resulted from it, and you need to think about a history of Europe to understand all the white people bullshit you’re surrounded by.

I was in hiding back in those days. Because I do think about the roman empire a lot lol. But that’s because I like historical materialism and the collapse of that demon slave empire is one of my favorite bedtime stories.

It wasn’t because I was a chud. I hate the Romans

I remember someone asking me that on a call, and within the distance of my arm was a copy of Parenti’s The Assassination of Julius Ceasar.

True. true to be honest. Totally true. I think to much about the USA …oh my god

I am always thinking about how much i hate Rome. Unless i’m thinking about my hatred for Uruk instead. Or my hatred of the linearbandkeramik treekillers.

i live in the burger empire, how could i not think about it

I think about the Romans a lot, but I think about Egypt and the Ottomans too. I just like Mediterranean history. I was clearly a member of the Sea People in a past life.

Achaemenid Empire was pretty neat

I wrote three novels about byzantium 🤓

When i was asked about it i said basically never because why would i?

<- this emote but it’s the Roman Legion

Someone should do an isekai anime where the entirety of the U.S. gets sent to Roman times and has to fight the romans

I thought of it yesterday when I got some change & I was like damn this quarter is light, real debasing the currency hours.

Burger empire? The phone game? Looks trashy.
