It is REALLY fucking weird how obsessed with the Romans these guys are while often knowing absolutely nothing about Rome. They think about Rome like it's some perfect civilization when it literally was in turmoil like every couple months for most of its history.

Rome was a dystopian dictatorship that murdered and enslaved people by millions. Their favourite pastime was public torture. It was like Russia today, but much worse. Which is why these guys like it.

Russia is great actually.

The only bad leader for the most part is North Korea everyone else can be worked with
