Practically all media for as long as I can remember has painted the Romans as violent expansionists mired by corruption and infighting. There’s a reason movies always give them bri*ish accents.

The British accents were to white wash them since western culture tends to present itself as the inheritors of Rome and ancient Greece, while ignoring Italy and modern Greece, and even renaming the Romans who were still around to the Byzantines, because they were convinced the Romans were angolo Saxon, not ya know Mediterraneans,

I always got the impression that movies and games portrayed them as the an empire equivalent of the “Noble Savage” trope. Like yeah there was no bones about showing them as decadent or expansionist, but that they were really cool while they did it.

To a degree, it’s true. They spread civilization and culture throughout most of Europe… specifically their civilization and culture. Carthage and greek states aside, most of what they rolled over were at best bronze age small kingdoms constantly locked in wars against each other; Rome brought order, a common language, new technologies, education, etc. Just at the cost of a whole lot of murder. And to their credit, conquered lands would eventually become “fully roman”, something even the US won’t do for Guam or Puerto Rico now.
(I know people will give Rome shit for slavery, but slavery was common everywhere far before Rome showed up)

IIRC Haiti was the first place in the (modern-ish) world to abolish slavery… and they were subsequently sanctioned to Tartarus and back to the point they’re now one of the world’s poorest countries.

Haiti being an utter mess has a lot more to do with how France managed their colonies than anything else, the stark difference with the neighboring Dominican Republic being the clearest example of it; Spain would try to do cultural domination to eventually create client states (primarily in service of the church), while France just wanted to exploit as much and as fast as possible and care nothing for what was left. They never got a chance to recover.

Things are not going so well for Ukraine in the war now. Russia’s numerical advantage allows them to continually attack Ukraine on all fronts. Now a counter offensive has started in Kursk as well, wearing down the elite Ukraine units there.
“Russians have begun counteroffensive actions in the Kursk region, and everything is going according to Ukraine’s plan, said President Zelensky.”
I wonder what plan he is talking about? Unless they can pull a rabbit out of their hat this is not going so well as far as I can see. They are losing land and men. Russians are of course taking losses as well but there are so many more of them. They outnumber the Ukrainians 4/1 in Pokrovsk atm.
Biden and co are thinking about allowing missile strikes for weeks and months as usual while the Ukrainians get worn out.

Given that disaster of a debate for the Republicans, odds are they’re going to try to stir up as much shit as possible before election day.

337,826 clicked on the Vote.org link that Taylor Swift posted, and the site itself said they have an over 500% surge in registrations in the 24 hours after the debate.
Dem offices across the country are also reporting another surge in volunteers.
If Kamala keeps this kind of momentum up through the end of September, then I’ll be confident in calling it over for Trump.

So it’s been two days after the Debate.
Trump has been somewhat quiet.
Elon turned into a freak that nobody wants to touch.
Taylor Swift endorsement for Kamala Harris.
Travis Kelce might want to stuff Elon Musk into a high school locker after what he said about Swift.
Yeah this is a fun election.
