Reminds me of how homophobes love to claim that Rome fell because of gay people. Which, if you actually know anything about Rome, is in fact a strong argument in favor of gay people.
Another common gay W!
10/10 video, the bit at the end about the people in the Western empire still thinking of themselves as "Roman" until a Roman emperor invaded them and caused mass devastation seems really profound, like if Justinian had just chilled or been more diplomatic about it then maybe the WRE tax system and state apparatus could have been stitched back together, but he blew it.
I have the urge to just continuously quote Gibbon at Shapiro, about how Judeo-Christian values undermined the Roman empire out of spite.
Back in the Republic when MEN were MEN and fought in THE ARENA and we punished criminals by FEEDING THEM TO LIONS before these soy woke Christian emperors banned it
Good video.
