  To be fair, Roman history is really cool.

    True, but there is a lot of Roman history and some find it cool for the wrong reasons.

    All history is cool. Roman history just has a lot to study.

      Agreed. But if you’re going to fixate on one era, you could do a lot worse than Roman history.

      Other cool eras to fixate on:

      • Joseon Dynasty and Sejong the Great in Korea
      • Chola Empire - naval empire before navies were really a thing
      • Ethiopian Empire - somehow survived with strong empire neighbors

      There’s a lot of really cool history, Roman history is extra cool though since you can see so much of it in Europe.

        You can also hear it every day if you’re an English speaker. The Roman conquest of England greatly affected the English language.

        Yeah, I can picture much of roman history in my mind and put into context. Asian history is almost like fantasy lore and no matter how much I learn about it I cannot wrap my mind around how recent tieping rebellion is even though christanity played a huge role in it.

      Noted: Avoid Belgium if I ever go to Europe.

        You can avoid the whole of Europe, most countries are getting closer to the 4th reich.
        Almost time to send the kids to the eastern front again.

    Belgium.
    As I said, after winning the national election.
    While we have an even more extreme party (VB)he is the leader of the NVA, basically a nationalist separatist party that wants to split the country and indepence for the Flemish speaking part.
    Historically they were the party that collaborated with the nazis.
    While they are careful to not be associated with extremism sometimes their true nature shows.

    Poor thing is his son, molded by daddy.
    You should see the video, he just looks scary in it. The empty look, no thoughts, just following orders.
    His sister already had mental problems at a young age and got help, this one doesn’t know it yet.
