    Rome killed a fuck ton of westerners. Caesar probably committed what we’d call a genocide in Gaul. Of course a brain titan likemelon-musk thinks Rome was some kind of beacon of western civilization. He’s dumb enough to fall for propaganda that’s thoroughly debunked for centuries. “Yikes” indeed.
