    I know you’re joking, but I still struggle to see how that makes things better? We have evidence that the Romans also committed genocide.

      The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire

      So I’m with you, I have no idea how “it’s a roman salute” is supposed to make anything better
