Fascists also breath air and drink water. Those red flags, too? A lot of people find rome interesting. You can see this across history - look at US government buildings. It’s a roman aesthetic.
Tl;Dr Mussolini was obsessed with recreating a false, idealized past that in Italy’s case was the Roman Empire. An obsession with Rome is a warning sign of fascist ideology because that’s what actual fascism is obsessed with, as are basically all Western fascists because of Rome’s historical relevance to basically all of Europe and the Mediterranean.
It’s just not a sure sign, simply because it is a fascinating topic with plenty to dissect on any point of view.
If they’re also bitching and moaning about masculinity and heirarchy you’ve got a winner for sure though (a la your Jordan Peterson types)
I’d be cautious of any users participating in roman meme or military meme communities. It’s a big red flag.
It is not. I can be interested in history & military history without being alt right.
And as another user said, i doubt the romanmemes or historymemes communities here would tolerate it.
Dumb take.

Sure…the leader whose territory literally used to be Rome might also have the interest. Not remotely a telling sign, though.
Your ignorance is pretty goddamn laughable tbh
Says the dummy trying to paint with a broadbrush anyone interested in the Roman aesthetic as being an authoritarian.
Enjoy your bigotry.
Lol, illiterate as well I see
Fuck, I guess I’m glad I didn’t follow the history memes to the new instance. I thought all the romaboo stiff was just nerds being silly.
It is. There’s very little right presence on the fediverse still. And I don’t think pug would humor them if they tried.
On Lemmy at least I find the right are cowards who like to pretend to be liberals while they quietly dog whistle their takes.
It’s hard to tell how many there are, because they’re not out in the open.
It seems like you haven’t seen any evidence of them but still believe they’re here?
No, I’ve seen them around. I don’t have evidence on their numbers, same as you.
It is, we don’t tolerate fascists or their apologists in the HistoryMeme or RoughRomanMemes comms.
Yeah the anime girl Roman memes are certainly the cherry on top the crazy cake. Some incredibly weird and hateful fetishes were in some of those.
I could not for the life of me figure out what those were kicking on about
Mostly it’s just absurdist jokes and memes by a Filipino Romaboo.
