Can someone please explain to me what the thought process is behind having a statue as your profile pic? What exactly are they trying to get across here?
they're a nazi
"I have extremely stupid views about contemporary politics based on my deep and extensive misunderstanding of the Roman empire."
TBF I very rarely encounter people without that. Usually those loving antique literature and the accompanying knowledge is just a side effect.
Yeah, it's got so much popular mythology built up around it that virtually nobody has an actually good concept of what it looked like. That's true of a lot of historical periods, but because crypto-fascists like the Roman aesthetic so much, you just tend to see this one more. Most actual classicists aren't hanging out on Roman statue Twitter.
Well, in Russian-speaking Web that aesthetic actually is more popular among modest moderate right liberals. Confined to their own gatherings and lectures about republicanism, TG channels with announcements of those, maybe some articles on how a republic may function, republican morality (that'd be just civil responsibility).
In words they may have some intersections with fascism, in emotion - less than anybody.
And humans are not rational creatures, so one should always look at the emotion first.
zero historical materialism
The white marble of the statue is beautiful. Thus whiteness is beautiful. It is a call back to good old fashioned British rascism. They see modern rascism as too ugly want the good stuff back. It is a weird way too online ideology
