Nope. Other than all having a bird, they don't have anything in common. The designs are wildly different, the first two aren't holding weapons but rather representations of the sun, and I'm not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding, but it doesn't look like any recognizable weapon.
Not to mention that the regimes referenced were wildly different in most ways and rivals where overlap happened. This is "the Illuminati controls everything" level bullshit.
My nuts are nice and responsive btw, thank you very much 😄
not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding, but it doesn't look like any recognizable weapon.
In this case, it may just be AI generated garbage. But historically, the Roman eagle was sometimes stylized holding bolts of lightning (as a reference to Jupiter).
Yes. You posted a picture of past Empires that used birds as symbols, implying that's the reason America is "the Roman Empire." But Egypt did it first.
Yeah but the bald eagle in particular has a proclivity towards cowardice and scavenging, despite its size. Red tailed hawk or turkey is a much more admirable bird
Turkeys are super cool, but it's still a bit silly to apply human values to wild animals. Pretty much all animals are wired to survive while expending the least amount of energy and reducing risk to themselves. Stealing catches from other animals is quite common across species because it's easier and safer. The reality is that it's brutal out there. I don't have diminished admiration for a bear because it found some food in a trash can instead of catching fish from a stream.
At least Nazi Germany hired actual artists and designers to create stunning and awe inspiring designs and artwork using quality materials (and no I am not glorifying those monsters)
MAGA just go to the local print shop and skim off any premade imagery and use AI to mash it all together on the cheapest poster they can buy.
You don't have to glorify their beliefs to admit they were fantastic at propaganda and aesthetics. Birth of a Nation was used in film schools for decades afterward for a reason and that reason wasn't that film schools were all secretly run by Nazis.
Can you provide some info about what film you mean? I only see results for the 1915 American film called Birth of a Nation. Which sounds pretty awful, but seems to predate Nazis.
Sorry, got my racist propaganda films that still show up in film school because they used revolutionary techniques in film making and are thus important pieces of cinematic history mixed up. The Birth of a Nation is the US one, Triumph of the Will is the Nazi one I was thinking of.
He can do 20 more years. Weekend at Bernies is also possible. No crazy scheme is off the table in today's America. Trump may also just be laying out the red carpet for some even crazier lunatic. Maybe hereditary dictatorship? Elon? Nothing is off the table at this point. Fuck me and the bleak possible future.
What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don't want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.
Trump is well into the category where he's just being lead around by his handlers.
I don't believe he is. I know people like that. They fake understanding what's going on, but can't maintain a thought for very long. During Trump's first term, his aids figured out that they would need to be the last person to talk to him because he quickly forgot the previous discussion.
Once they force three terms onto Trump they can use whatever flimsy justification they have found to allow three terms for Vance or whoever they get to replace trump.
The US constitution has amendments canceling amendments, more specifically the 21st repealing the 18th. Legally it is possible to repeal the 22nd, but the votes aren't there... yet.
The New Deal was so popular that FDR was elected to four terms. The 22nd amendment was a reaction to that.
Who's gonna stop them? The law ain't doing Jack FUCKING Shit. If there is no group or individual who is both willing and able to inflict consequences, THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES
The ERA was made controversial. Any future amendment will likely be the product of catastrophe. I imagine if one happens it will be because we manage to get out of this current situation and need to prevent it in the future
The AI image really sends the fucking campiness. It's hard to imagine that fucking bozo even living to a third term. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't got sniped by atherosclerosis yet.
How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it "to own the libs".
Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.
These people only tell jokes that are of the "punching down" variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it's always "bro, it was a prank" to dodge ownership of it.
That's how the party of personal responsibility works.
Let me speak from experience that there is no such thing as an ironic Nazi. Every single "bro, it's just a joke lol" is followed by a silent "...unless?"
Also makes me suspect that republicans have zero clue who they can run after The Donald. Why else would they even bother trying to mention having the guy in office after 2028? The methods to do that are either a constitutional amendment (they don't have anywhere near a big enough majority to get one through) or unconstitutional means (scary, but also way more work/trouble than running a competent candidate and winning a normal election). It would be way easier to start grooming the heir apparent if they had any clue who that was.
Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term
The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws
President Donald Trump on Thursday again raised the prospect of serving for an unconstitutional third term, asking a crowd at a White House event whether he should run again and receiving audience chants of “Four more years!”
The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws — all while his administration has continued pushing the bounds of presidential power.

'Caesar figure': MAGA die-hards pushing 3rd Trump term met with CPAC silence

I don't think we should start criticising people or movements for being un-american. It feels nice to use it against the fascist because you are hitting them where it hurts but it also normalizes the kind of nationalism they use to persecute oppressed groups.
Regardless of that idolizing Rome is actually very American. The Germans idolized it too. The west loves its empire
They don't even idolize the Roman Empire, they idolise a version of it that fits their views. Fascists always alter the past. Otherwise they would be having gay orgies 24/7.
Why don't we just wait and see if even these idiots want that in a few years? It's been a couple of weeks and it's already starting to look like most of the polling locations will be covered in rubble by 2028.
A new advocacy group, the Third Term Project — which has adopted a Caesar-like Trump image as its logo — is dedicated to upending the 22nd Amendment so that Trump can serve a third term.
I wasn't being a dick, I was giving a straightforward answer. I don't have a concern that the photo is shopped, I find it entirely believable, and so of course I'm not going to take the time to go looking for more pics. Even if there are none yet, it wouldn't prove this was shopped.
The banner is not really the problem, shopped or not.
Now the right hand side of this on the other hand:
When a fascist "jokes" about taking and keeping more power, they're not joking. They're absolutely serious.
He wouldn't have to be elected again. He lost the vote last time and still tried to launch an insurrection to overthrow the legitimate government and maintain power. He's learned a lot since that failed attempt. He's dismantling the government and the checks and balances by the day. There won't be anything left to stop him in 4 years. He will not leave willingly.
he literally did, definitionally he launched a failed coup. At the very least an attempted insurrection.
He did the same thing Hillary did in the election before that.
complete disinformation, hillary contested the results, which is a thing you are legally entitled to doing (she later retracted that statement publicly) trump has NEVER once retracted his statement, he STILL says it was stolen.
I'm pretty sure it's just another distraction and nothing more. Plus, he's already pretty much a babbling idiot, he'll likely be a vegetable in four years.
They'd have to somehow keep Obama from running, so they can't just say "third term". It would have to be jerry-rigged to hell to let Trump run but keep Obama out.
Love how it's modeled after rome since that's what's gonna happen to us too
The Roman Empire, which lasted about 1000 years, looking at the American Empire collapsing after 250 years:
I can assure you the "roman" empire is still alive and kicking my friend
TIL that empire = eagle logo
Empires = chicken logo
Kingdoms = cat logo
Sys admins = dog logo
Community colleges = anus logo
"From many old people", in case you were curious.
Old people are assholes? 🤨
Everyone knows that Albania actually rules the world
it's the same logo for the same empire numb nuts, just rebranded with better weapons
Nope. Other than all having a bird, they don't have anything in common. The designs are wildly different, the first two aren't holding weapons but rather representations of the sun, and I'm not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding, but it doesn't look like any recognizable weapon.

In this case, it may just be AI generated garbage. But historically, the Roman eagle was sometimes stylized holding bolts of lightning (as a reference to Jupiter).
Spoon and fork, duh!
Of course! Roman eagles be hungy 😄
no one said anything about Illuminati... stay ignorant friend no skin off my back
Then please, enlighten the class as to how these are related?
The US eagle was indeed inspired by the Roman one, but that doesn't mean it's a continuation of that empire.
it most certainly is friend. Rome still lives you'd be a fool to dismiss it. how can you defeat an enemy that is thought to not exist?
By your logic, shouldn't it be called the Ancient Egyptian Empire?
my logic?
Yes. You posted a picture of past Empires that used birds as symbols, implying that's the reason America is "the Roman Empire." But Egypt did it first.
The eagle steals prey from other creatures, like the fake predator it is.
Raptors are awesome and they absolutely hunt and kill other animals. You don't have to make up fake animal facts to dunk on the US.
Yeah but the bald eagle in particular has a proclivity towards cowardice and scavenging, despite its size. Red tailed hawk or turkey is a much more admirable bird
Turkeys are super cool, but it's still a bit silly to apply human values to wild animals. Pretty much all animals are wired to survive while expending the least amount of energy and reducing risk to themselves.

Ben Franklin said we shoulda gone with the turkey!
it's a representation of the phoenix phenom.bit will come back (Venus comet) the great dragon
He kinda looks like Caesar there, and we all know it ended well for him
Damn no one wants a trump salad
Vidisti Brutus?
Also known as Elonus Brutus Maskus.
The Ides of March is coming up next month...
Sic semper tyrannis...
Don’t forget, he’ll have it fixed so good you won’t have to vote anymore.
https://youtu.be/bTm0du4kUH0
He’s projecting.
Tacky as hell
At least Nazi Germany hired actual artists and designers to create stunning and awe inspiring designs and artwork using quality materials (and no I am not glorifying those monsters)

First time as tragedy, second time as farce.

They still show both in film schools. It's part of most film history classes.
More likely the film schools were run by jews considering the movie industry
I swear, these freaks yearn for the boot, it's so pathetic...
What these freaks look like
They're boot lick'en good!
Just out of interest: how long do they honestly expect this idiot to live?
He can do 20 more years. Weekend at Bernies is also possible. No crazy scheme is off the table in today's America. Trump may also just be laying out the red carpet for some even crazier lunatic. Maybe hereditary dictatorship? Elon? Nothing is off the table at this point. Fuck me and the bleak possible future.
They will "transfer his conciousness" into one of Elon's bartender-bots. Pay no attention to the Afrikaans accent.
They gonna Weekend at Bernie’s his corpse
When it's a president it's called Second Term at Ronnie's.
They’ve ahead had plenty of Congress to practice on so…
Dianne Feinstein is the more egregious example.
What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don't want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.

They doin Warhammer 40k over there in a couple years
They'll do him up like Lenin
Once they force three terms onto Trump they can use whatever flimsy justification they have found to allow three terms for Vance or whoever they get to replace trump.
Given the last attempt failed prob a bit too long
Based on his observed mental decline, I don't think he will get to finish his current term.
Why it's missing a star? Directly printed from the ai prompt?
It's not that difficult to clone a star with modern software...
it's not difficult to clone a star with 20 year old software either
Shit drawing one by hand isn't hard either.
With a sharpie.
they're gonna give Alaska to Putin or something
Or California to Denmark
Uncritical support for this.
I know enough old English and some old Norse, I think I could get a Danish bureaucrat to want to kill themselves. I also approve.
Sign me the fuck up.
Where the fuck is Brutus when you need him?
I hate that this works
Kill the maga red hat Nazi party.
There’s historical movies and documentaries about this.
If he is still alive in 2028 I am jumping out a window.
I have never met you or know anything about you, but I'd rather have you than DJT
well then you better hope DJT goes first i guess, because that statement does not meet the logical extent of that circumstance.
dont let the defenestration allegations hit you on the way out

I think you are bold to assume their plan involved repealing vs ignoring.
Exactly.
"they can't do that that's illegal"
Who's gonna stop them? The law ain't doing Jack FUCKING Shit. If there is no group or individual who is both willing and able to inflict consequences, THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES
They're ignoring the equal rights amendment. I don't think we'll see another amendment.
The ERA was made controversial. Any future amendment will likely be the product of catastrophe. I imagine if one happens it will be because we manage to get out of this current situation and need to prevent it in the future
The AI image really sends the fucking campiness. It's hard to imagine that fucking bozo even living to a third term. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't got sniped by atherosclerosis yet.
He wasn't aiming at Trump. It was all for that photo OP
If he manufactures an emergency, then he can claim we need continuity of leadership. Hmmm, he wouldn't...
Similar to how he’s claiming Zelensky is a dictator for not having elections? I have a kettle that I’m about to paint black.
How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it "to own the libs".
Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.
These people only tell jokes that are of the "punching down" variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it's always "bro, it was a prank" to dodge ownership of it.
That's how the party of personal responsibility works.
It's a joke until it's not. Same people that hurt your feelings and then say "I was just joking" when called out.
Let me speak from experience that there is no such thing as an ironic Nazi. Every single "bro, it's just a joke lol" is followed by a silent "...unless?"
Also makes me suspect that republicans have zero clue who they can run after The Donald. Why else would they even bother trying to mention having the guy in office after 2028?

It would be way easier to start grooming the heir apparent if they had any clue who that was.
The Venn Diagram between people who actually support this and people who just want to own the libs is a circle.
Trump is giving these fucksticks exactly what they want. I assure you they want a third term.

I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)
The US has always been an imperialist nation so this really is just a fitting crown that will mark the end of its long reign.
