The “lung float” test claims to help determine if a baby was born alive or dead, but many medical examiners say it’s too unreliable. Yet the test is still being used to bring murder charges — and get convictions.
Yeah, it’s kind of scary how close they are too succeeding. When one half of the electoral process gives up on democracy, and starts trying to take power by Amy means, it’s hard to fight back against that.
It’s only hard to fight against it because our champions are wolves in sheep’s clothing. The Democrats don’t want to undermine their own power either, they just want you to think they do.
The term sounds dumb off the tongue and, you guessed it, has no actual philosophical or historical weight aside from a callback to the name for Roman emperors.
Sadly, those who are interested in regression don’t access a lot of critical thinking skills, so they’ll glom onto this surface level reference and see it as deep and meaningful.
I doubt any of the cultures that were invaded by Roman expansion were given any choice in the matter. Conservatism always has different standards for the in group versus the out group.
I mean given that there were Roman emperors that hailed from almost every territory in the empire I don’t think your understanding of Romans is very accurate.
After 212AD if you were a free man and lived in the empire then you were a Roman citizen. There was also a surprising degree of religious freedom in the empire as well.
Using modern political group labels for antiquity is silly.
Roman Empire was multicultural with emperors from Spain, North Africa, the Balkan’s, Syria, and others. The modern Roman obsession is all about the optics that fascists have wrapped it up in, not actual history. They were even surprisingly religiously tolerant.
They’re not actually trying to go back to that, they only want the worst traits of the empire.
Every Empire has a period of expansion and prosperity, modern-day Republicans are trying to bring back the policies that destroyed Rome, without understanding that conservatism is always the corruption that leads to fascism.
We’re actually trying to go back to the Roman Empire, a Fourth Reich, if you will.

They call it “Red Caesarism”

THANK YOU!
YOU KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS WHEN PEOPLE KEEP TOSSING THAT PHRASE AROUND
Seeking a return to an idealized mythological past…? That’s so classic fascist.
Roman Empire was pro choice
You are thinking of Medieval Europe

It’s not my understanding of Romans that is flawed, it’s your understanding of freedom and choice.
My point is that they were also the in group. It’s very much a flawed perspective, referring to the whole empire as conservative makes it clear.
