It's certainly a delight for the Meloni gang. While they're putting up more murderous anti-asylum policies, Italian fascists feel vindicated in their traditional ancient Rome fetish.
Mussolini was a big fan as well...to the extent of destroying real Roman ruins to put up fake ones.
The Roman empire: why men just can’t stop thinking about it

Now I smell some absolute bullshit going on. Why are these news sites obsessed with saying "all men" can't stop thinking about Rome? Rome never becomes a thought in my head, aside from Roman numerals.
Therefore, bisexual cuckolds are the most powerful men in the world.
Liberal white feminists are mad (their low-effort clickbait clout-and-revenue streams are drying up). News at eleven.
I highly doubt they're actual feminists. There's feminists, and then there's "feminist". The second term are the people who claim to be feminists, but they're assholes who can't handle different opinions or expect everyone to agree exactly them 1000% of the time. I am not going to blame a specific group, because actual real feminists wouldn't be bothering with these dumb ass questions that go nowhere. The people "asking these questions" aren't what I would describe as feminists. Just idiots or drones with nothing better to do, and trying to stir up some shit. That's all else I am not dragging this conversation out and this discussion is over for me.
No, this is perfectly representative of liberal, white, late third-wave feminism:clickbaiting over imaginary problems for clout and revenue, and crying victim when called out.
Yeah, I don't give a crap. Even if that's the case, so what? They don't represent all feminists. Then they're just bad feminists or wannabes; end of story. I know you have your many odd opinions, but I'm not debating over you with this. I'm tired and full of allergies and I got better things to do right now. Moving on and deal with it.
Yeah, yeah, we get it: you don't like when implicit white supremacy, and class and educational privileges, are called out within feminism. Sweeping generalizations are totes awesomesauce until it's a group you like getting called out.
You mistaken me for someone that gives a shit. Now screw off, because I am not mood for petty back and forths.

It probably came from that one twitter screencap that said something like "Men would rather learn about ancient Rome than go to therapy."
Wait, where is the white supremacy in that obviously lighthearted article?

Well, you can start with why the Roman empire is overrepresented in popular culture for its historic relevance, achievements, and legacy. As opposed to, for example, the caliphates, khanates, Chinese dynasties, indigenous central and south American empires for the comparative little known about them (hint), or for its renewed interest in post-pan-Africanism, the Mali empire (which made up for lack of geographic span with wealth). Since we're comparing like-to-like and comparing the historic legacy of great empires from the classical to modern era.
If we boil this complaint down, it comes to: the author didn't include the caveat that they're talking about a trend in western online culture. Which I thought was kind of obvious.
Not really; overuse of italics is one of your trademarks, so it's lost its impactfulness.
