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.

I've got folks on that side fighting against me with their google searches when I've got a degree in Classics. And I don't know why they're so obsessed. A graduate professor in a different field loved my references to the classical world, only for us to find out he had a private ultra conservative YouTube channel.

Did he film the grift videos in his sleep? Literally one of my worst nightmares.

Oh no! You’d better call the thought police! How dare he!

He's allowed to talk about bringing back slavery and burning Protestants all he wants, but he probably should not be teaching. There is, surprise, Protestants and non whites amongst his students who he clearly has biases against. As for missing and misunderstanding antiquity, that's just poor academics, and I expect better from a professor since that's his literal job. At the end of the day he was let go for sexually harassing my peers.

But yeah, thought police, it's really the rest of us who are the problem.
