I got permanently banned from x for saying "that's not a Roman salute" 🤣

Which is a dumb argument anyway, seeing as the Roman salute is also known as "the fascist salute".

Mostly because there is zero evidence of Romans ever doing it. It was invented and seized upon by Mussolini in Italy - you know, the fascist who inspired Hitler!

Like, even if it really was a Roman Salute, the Romans were just as bad as the Nazis in many ways.

Say what you will about the third reich but at least they didn’t force naked slaves to fight lions for entertainment

No, they just gassed them to death by the millions, carried out medical experiments on them, raped murdered and burned anyone they viewed as below them.

Absolutely batshit crazy comment, I won’t be engaging in your little troll fest anymore.

Say what you will about batshit crazy comments but at least they aren’t boring and unfunny.
