It's time to end the Rome meme.

I too hate popular things
Jason Cox
Pop history and the history channel is actually what started the Roman tech meme and gave birth to possibly millions maybe even billions of Romaboos. It needs to be exposed.

>destroy the library of alexandria it wasn't done on purpose >almost get btfo by the gauls and btfo by the Germanics despite supposedly having "advanced technology" there was no profit in conquering germans, their lands were a shithole >>wehraboo tier belief in "advanced technology" not sure what did you mean by this but yes, romans had plenty of reasons to be proud of their achievements if you compared them to the rest of continent >had no world changing philosophers they had plenty of decent philosophers Cicero, Seneca, even Marcus Aurelius >got btfo by Parthia despite having "advanced supersoldier uber space marines technology" romans fucked persian capital twice and were too overextended to conquer Persia at that point >destroyed knowledge of actual advanced technology in wars that makes no sense, be more specific >brutal uncivilized politics where people slaughtered each other. political intrigues and risk in being involved with them were part of pretty much every civilized society >"muh republic" was basically just a collection of land owners. with a functioning government >most modern engineering and political structure is descended from medieval times which Romaboos call "the dark ages" despite Rome supposedly having "advanced technology and government" that's because no one outside of byzantines was able to copy their stuff like aqueducts or canals. Of course you gonna have a hard reset here.

>2 major civil wars Are you fucking retarded? There were far more than that >that collapsed Yeah it happens
Connor Murphy
if you count all the civil wars as major civil wars that makes it even worse. The R*mans were shit at empire building.
Joseph Allen
>Calling a civilization that went from a tribal society of a few hundred people to a truly cosmopolitan, Afro-Eurasian state that was one of the largest in history shit at empire building. A state that would last for, depending on your take, around two thousand years.
