Orban gets another friend in Slovakia. After Poland, it looks like the Visegrad countries are mostly jumping ship regarding the Banderite black hole. Do you guys think we will see the end of the war by next New Year?

Oh yeah BTW for those above in the thread debating on the value of Humanities majors, I have a personal anecdote for you. I can't give the details but I'm working with a certain academic from a certain high-level social science institute in mainland China, among other people, on a research project that is part of the overall work to debunk Western distortions of history. So yeah, we have our own 'contributors' in these fields. Some of you should be less concerned about whether Chinese people have such things covered, and some of you need to make fewer generalisations.

Wait where can I see the results of this research?

I've been absolutely dying to get more info debunking all the trash history and straight up LIES that the west has told both about how good they were (Roman Empire is easily the most overrated in history) and how the rest of us non-white folks totally sucked compared to how cool these white people empires were and we'd all be screwed without the oh-so-benevolent white savior hero superhero man.

Not a historian here but I know a few factoids. Rome, as successful as it was, was a slave empire which failed to develop a stable system of government in 1000 years.

Regarding slavery in Rome:

Many Roman slaves lived lives of unimaginable cruelty. After all, Roman law designated slaves as property, not people. But slavery in ancient Rome underpinned much of society’s success, and the freeborn citizens of Rome were actually heavily dependent on slaves for their world to operate effectively.

Vast numbers of slaves were traded throughout the empire, from Britain in the North to Syria in the East. At the beginning of the Imperial era, it is believed that the ratio of slaves to freeborn people in the city of Rome was 3:1. Slave ownership was common for those at the top of society. Plutarch tells us that the Republican consul, Marcus Licinius Crassus (pictured above left), owned so many slaves that he had 500 just for acquiring and rebuilding property. But it was also not uncommon for plebeians, as well as ex-slaves, to own a few slaves as well. Slave ownership was a sign of status and wealth which nearly everyone in ancient Rome aspired to.

Lol didn't the Roman Empire have alot of free non white people there (Even some emporoers who weren't white)? and ironicly the eastern half of the roman empire (aka byzantines) have decendents that view them selves as middle easterners than white.
