Yes. If you visit DC you get that exact feeling of a "modern Rome"
>>69206396
We don't loot and pillage enough. Too worried about being "responsible" and we need our "allies".
If we were Rome Europe would be our vassals and we would force them to fight with us all over the world for whatever the fuck the issue of the year was.
>>69206396
Well, we did sort of make our prosperity the global ideal and remain global hegemon. Idk about "spiritual heir" though. How about we settle for being as we are, the reigning global power humanity's first digital epoch?
>>69207756
That Anon was right though. You're a fucking dumb ass.
Only difference is that america will continue to be humanitys superpower until all of the universe turns cold

Yeah pretty much. Rome was all about multi culturalism and degeneracy. We fit that to a T.

BULLSHIT! That whole 'Orthodox Church' thing doesn't mean SHIT! America is Rome proper, Russia is the modern version of the Byzantine Empire.
>>69206396
No, fuck Rome. Too many kings and tyrants have fucked up the world trying to claim Rome's legacy. Too many fedora tipping faggots and dago ponces have used Rome's fall to blame whatever religious/ethnic group for its destruction. And neoclassical architecture is overrated, just like Rome.
Romanbooism is a plague.
>>69208280
You guys are more like the spiritual successors of Ancient Greece. We're the guys who took everything you did and made it better then cucked the fuck out of you. Hence--Rome.
>>69208992
yeah but carthage was a bunch of white people who moved to shitskin lands and started an empire based on trade and nigger loving
totally america

So WWI and WWII correspond to the First Punic War and the Second Punic War?

>>69209077
Nah, you're the Franks, the guys who broke loose from our empire to watch it crumble. You're building a great civilization in your own right, but not on the scale as our former holdings.
>>69209077
This. The United States is to the United Kingdom what Rome was to Greece.
>>69206396
America is the spiritual heir of the British Empire.
No. Because we will never fall.
>>69209109
You mean how Russia conquered Siberia? Its the same shit.
>>69209215
spiritual successor not time machine picture
I think the air to the Roman empire would be the British Empire. Theyve shaped much of the world in the last 300 years. And created social and political institutions that are still essential for many countries. Theyve influenced cultures all around the world. And lets not forget at one time, comtrolled a majority of the worlds popuoation. English is what you speak today, Americucks.
America would be the heir to the Byzantine empire or beta Rome
A mediocre superpower that isnt as as strong as their father civilisation (Rome/Britain) but is still stronger than most contemporary powers. Just like Byzantine empire was the continuation of the Roman empire, the American empire is a continuation of the British empire. Both can never surpass the empires that brithed them.
>>69209436

>>69209288
>you unironically typed this on your American invented PC / smartphone and Internet (yes--the Brits pioneered the World Wide Web but we take all of the credit just like Rome culturally appropriated lots of things from Greece).
Since the USA isn't on the scale of previous empires, I'm sure you'd get along fine without all of our video games, movies, television shows, software, hardware, restaurants, music, etc etc
If this was the game civilization 5, we'd have won a cultural, domination, and scientific victory 60+ years ago.

the lesson is, if you have peace abroad you have internal chaos and degeneracy within.

They didn't have nukes. I think we'll be destroyed from within by the leftists though. They are our biggest threat.
>>69209977
America is a constitutional republic, which is a Roman legacy. But your elections are a Greek legacy. In truth, all of the modern Western World is the spiritual successor to the ancient Greco-Roman world.
>>69209863
So? Who gives a fuck? You know what I meant.
If you asked 100 people on the street anywhere in the world, "who invented the Internet," nearly every single person would answer, "the USA." Did we invent the Internet? Yes. Would we be actively using it without the World Wide Web? Probably not unless you possessed a luxurious Unix beard. The UK is largely responsible for the current accessibility of the Internet, but we still take all of the credit.
Hence--the UK is to Ancient Greece as the USA is to Rome.
>>69209560
Rome absorbed Greece including its Law, its Gods (many of which were renamed) and other various social structures and values.
However those THINGS are still GREEK.
And educated people know them to be Greek.

What do you think the British, French and Spanish Empires was doing around the globe in the 1600's, 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's
Who do you think started the industrial revolution, what latin-based language are you speaking?
Also Some us have had Romanesque/Norman buildings here since around 1000ad, not to mention the true Roman period buildings, pic related
If anything America is the spiritual child of the English/British Empire, your constitution is practically copied word for word, you speak English, you're Anglo etc etc
>We're the guys who took everything you did and made it better
That was Japan
>>69210359
this is also true.
>>69210316
>You're talking out of your ass.
No, he's actually not. The Byzantine Empire is considered by some to be the 'Second Rome'. The Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire each claimed to be the Third Rome. Read a book and get educated, Americoon.
>>69210415
Crusades were only about trade routes to China, not some messiah returning. They are now about oil, and increasingly trade.
To dominate the world, you must dominate the key Corridors of Power (tm)
The spiritual successor of Rome needs to carry on their, well, spirit which would entail laws and general worldview.
Considering the fact that there is a debate on abolishing the burden of proof and assumption of innocence in american courts I really don't think you can consider America the spiritual heir of Rome.
>>69210172
You mean how like the United States follows English Common Law, embraced English industrial capitalism and corporations law, is culturally Anglo and speaks English?
I meant to say Britain* is Greece, America is Rome which I corrected myself in right after I posted

>There are people that don't know that United Statian law and civil structure is actually modeled after the Greeks, not the Romans.
There are so many things wrong with this.
First, civil law wad made in Eastern Rome,so Greece, but still Rome.
Secondly, Ameritards don't have the based Civil Law tradition, but the degenerate Anglican common law bestowed upon them from their colonial masters.

Bullshit. Their video games are complete dogshit compared to ours. JRPGs are garbage compared to WRPGs. Our action and sports games are also leagues ahead of theirs. They only excel over us when we take the automotive industry into account, but even then that's debatable. They're inferior in literally every other way.
And don't even mention anime because it's complete dogshit and has been since the late 90s. Our cartoons are better.

Sculptures in the top triangle (forgive me I forget the proper term) are a distinctly Greecian trait.
Roman design was flat, maybe with words, but there would be a lone statue on the roof, front and center.
But in the Supreme courts example they used Corinthian columns, in the Roman example they have Ionic, which is the exception, not the norm. Romans almost always used Corinthian.

Why in the fuck are you living in the past? Japan hasn't be relevant for nearly 30 years now. You're a pathetic, old faggot that needs to kill himself.
By the way, from 1950 - 1980, if we saw a product that was "Made in Japan," we automatically knew it was a pile of shit. They had a decade of relevance here and the only decent thing they still produce is automobiles.
>>69206396

All that cognitive dissonance, you called it a pile of shit because people like you couldn't bare that a country you had defeated in war were making cheaper, better and more reliable products than America and people all over the world chose Japanese goods over American, because they were better.

Japanese products were fucking garbage and considered third world tier until the 80s - mid 90s here when they actually had some semblance of quality control. Why is this so hard for you to grasp? Sony was facing bankruptcy until their PS4 finally achieved a bit of success (which was built upon hardware manufactured in the USA); Japanese automakers are still doing well. Everything else has basically gone to shit. Japan has fallen from second place to like fourth place or some shit. Even Germany is kicking their ass.
