Romans: "we will conquer enslave this planet for the glory of Jupiter, ave Roma"

libt*rds: "wow this is just like my bourgeois progressivist multiracialism" https://twitter.com/lukeisamazing/status/1299507187082027010
sp post without a typo in? never saw one in my life
I'm gonna dunk on all of the libt*rds in this thread to give you counter-arguments to all of their insanely ahistorical bullshit. guess it's gonna cover a mix of history and race/genetics

I expect to be awarded honorary Med status for defending Rome like this
italy was white & homogeneous before during & after the empire, proven by genetics. rome was multiracial during empire due to influx of merchants/slaves/soldiers from subject states. romans cremated their dead so the number of nonwhites is likely inflated

"romans enslaved and subjugated brown people, therefore rome was not white. look at these random portraits of ethnic egyptians who lived in egypt. yes, these were painted in egypt but it proves that rome was not white"

lmfao I don't even need to explain https://twitter.com/thepleasantbird/status/1299525957091553281
Rome was founded by Italic tribes of Bell Beaker Indo-Europeans, who are white, and before that, the region was populated exclusively by Early European Farmers, who are white, and before that, it was populated by Western Hunter-Gatherers, who are white https://twitter.com/awkwrdsocialist/status/1299507444465442817
there were no black emperors. black = subsaharan african

we wuz caesars n sheit https://twitter.com/AlchemPunk/status/1299643974509043712
wild unsourced claim:
"iraqis defended hardians wall! checkm8 bigot"

reality:
one irregular unit of sailers from mesopotamia was temporarily stationed at hadrian's wall in a british port town. they undoubtedly visited every other port in the empire too

Rome literally collapsed due to uncontrolled mass migration of foreigners into its territories

trivia: I'm descended from two of the Germanic tribes that sacked Rome

"romans had no concept of race"

romans wrote huge ethnographies of the racial groups they encountered, noting similar cultural practices and appearance among the various peoples of the world. e.g., scythians were noted as being similar to germanics https://twitter.com/thepleasantbird/status/1299510630936961024
they also regarded the Greeks as their ethnic cousins/brothers and recognized from a very early time (I forget the exact date) that their languages stemmed from a common source, despite this common root dating back 100s of years (it may have been over 1000, I forget)
the first white people, or the first homogeneous population in Europe to contribute to the genome of modern whites, were Western European Hunter-Gathers from almost 20k years ago. I've explained exactly who "white people" are here: https://thuletide.wordpress.com/2020/08/08/what-is-white-a-guide-for-complete-novices/ https://twitter.com/funkotronic/status/1299564479705874434
if you wanted to be really a*tistic, you could say that the ethnogenesis of modern whites was between 9000 and 4000 years ago. it was between these dates that all white people arrived at the current levels of admixture between WHG, EEF, and Proto-Indo-European populations
"white people didn't exist because Linnaean taxonomy wasn't invented until the 1700s, checkmate bigot."

difficult to put into words how stupid this is

"gravity didn't exist until Isaac Newton invented a name for it" https://twitter.com/badinterneter/status/1299552477109510145
again, difficult to express just how stupid (& disingenuous) these people are

for ppl new to race/genetics:
"race" is defined by proportions of ancestry inherited from specific ancestral populations, and is identified by cumulative shared characteristics https://twitter.com/funkotronic/status/1299573813349236737
if u had to guess a race based on average height, you'd maybe be able to get it right. but if you throw skin tone, hair color, eye color, hairiness, bone density, skeletal morphology (e.g., skull shape) into the mix, you'll basically never fail to guess a persons race correctly
so are colors, so is math, so is language itself

wow I guess nothing is real and we should just go back to being thoughtless amoebas

retvrn to tradition, libt*rd

romans wrote lengthy ethnographies documenting every single racial and ethnic group they encountered but they apparently didn't see the difference between themselves and subsaharan africans

these people just make this shit up as they go

1. most of them were slaves lmfao
2. rome had levels of citizenship for different peoples. can't remember the specifics of this one but they had a hierarchy like: free roman men at the top, then roman women, then merchants, then free non-roman men, etc https://twitter.com/TexasFsr/status/1299666994845814790
we have genetic data and written records on ancient roman pigmentation and ethnicity. they were white & looked like modern italians

imo these reconstructions go overboard with the blondness, it was probably darker blond and light brown, e.g., Nero had red hair, not blond

ok I think thread finished now, I dont see anything else to dunk on

now hand over my Honorary Med card
ok 1 final say

the post in RT neatly summarizes the left's historical revisionism agenda:
it's simply about denying that white people have ever had homogeneous homelands to justify inflicting mass migration upon us. that's literally all they care about https://twitter.com/squeegeemeegee/status/1299740400656297990
