TIL - the Alt-Right is obsessed with Roman Memes - Lemmy

Paging @PugJesus
Oh is he alt-right?
No. He’s a history nerd regularly posting history nerd shit for our own enjoyment.

He just loves Roman history, WW2 history, the space fascist future of 40k, and criticizing the past sins of socialism more than the rise of fascism while completely ignoring all sins of capitalism.

It’s fine I’m sure. Just a turbolib. He believes in democracy. Probably.

He just loves Roman history,

True.

WW2 history,

What? WW2 history is one of the less common things I post or talk about. About the only place it comes up is in historical photos, and even then that’s mostly because it’s a well-photographed war.

the space fascist future of 40k,

… I didn’t realize being a 40k fan who thinks space dystopia is a space dystopia was all that exceptional.

and criticizing the past sins of socialism more than the rise of fascism while completely ignoring all sins of capitalism.

I guess all my constant criticisms of capitalism and the rise of fascism are being ignored in this analysis?

It’s fine I’m sure. Just a turbolib. He believes in democracy. Probably.

Turbolib is when you advocate for harm reduction, and the more harm reduction you advocate for in a society where even the vast majority of the proletariat are hostile towards the idea of socialism, the more turbolib you are?

Forgive me for thinking that national changes need the consensus of the people, a task we as leftists must work towards; I’m sure your holsum vanguard party will perform a successful coup any day now.
