America uses Roman imagery and names a lot of their stuff after Roman deities.
Their mottos are in Latin
Projects and other stuff is named after them.
Project mercury
Apollo missions
Titan missiles
Saturn rockets
Atlas missiles
They have a giant Roman goddess statue.
the statue of liberty who is based on Libertas.
On their medal of honor is Minerva
In their supreme courthouse is a giant statue of justice. Roman goddess Justitia
And the fasces is one of their symbols.
my question is why did America heavily base their image after Rome when other countries especially the other new world countries just went off their original settlers cultures
The Anglo countries are all based off Britain
Same for the Spanish and Portuguese and their respective countries they founded.

Cause Rome is THE Republic and a fair bunch of European imaginery already cames from them.

Europeans love taking influence from the Romans
The US didn't want to be so thoroughly separate from Europe that there was no relation. They were still Christian white folks. US history books always seem to make the cultural shifts they endured seem larger than they were. While there was some faggot running around making his American encyclopedia with made-up words, most Americans were fine being British in everything but name.

I just don't fucking know anymore. Having a personal God would be great, and Catholicism really helped pull me out of a degenerate lifestyle, but I don't know if I can believe it. So many of the traditions of the Catholic Church have absolutely no basis in Scripture, and the Church nowadays is becoming more and more liberal, and even Globalist. I cannot believe in Protestantism, it is just too bland and basically implies that the majority of Christians got it wrong for 1500 years. I am not a slav or greek so Orthodoxy is out of the question. I don't know what to believe /his/, and pretty much the only thing that keeps me going to Church is fear of being damned, but it is so frustrating when almost nobody there adheres to even the most basic of Catholic doctrines, too. I go to confession, and see maybe 5-10 people, then in mass every single person goes up and gets communion. I am tired /his/, I am tired of needing to go to confession every single time I slip up and fap or slip up, tired of seeing the Church promote essential globalism, and protestantism is no better. What am I to do? I don't know what to believe in, but with out a solid belief system I fear I will slip back in to the degenerate ways of my past, and even though I barely believe in Catholicism, I fear to leave it because on the chance that it is true, I would be damned. I also really enjoy Catholic authors like Tolkien, and I feel like the books would lose their magic if I wasn't Catholic anymore. What do, /his/?

Why did they rape FUCKING everything. I mean were the Germans really that bad that they had to get revenge by gangraping anything that moved age 0-100. German kill squads were pretty bad but jesus.

I think you're forgetting that the innocent victims were just people, people who got caught in the game the "World Leaders" of the time were playing.
The common man has very little say in what happens on the world stage, he just has to pay the price in blood, tears, and hopelessness.

How did the qualities of compassion, pity, humbleness and mercy come to be?
How did (some)humans start having these characteristics when no human society(including today's capitalistic socially darwinistic society) has encouraged them, while some(like roman and far right dictatorships) have abhorred them?
From an evolutionary standpoint there's no reason for them to even exist since they go against the brutality of natural selection and survival of the fittest and no other species exept humans exhbit these traits.
So again how do these traits exist when they go against natural behavior?

It's literally about how the three ideologies of the Enlightenment(nazism, stalinsim and liberal capitalism) are totalitarian in character and their essence is scientific rationality which is Totality.

I remember encountering that concept in geography, people complained that Western approaches to geography were totalitarian.

I always wonder, would the Brits have done better in this particular scenario if their equipment was less modern and went back to the plate and mail of late medieval times?
Assuming of course the Zulu wouldn't have been armed with rifles either.

I think the only problem was underestimating a group of people who you want to enslave/colonize whatever you want to call it.
Africans didn't have the same mentality as Indians, they couldn't approach it like that.

The late medieval army of England was a few knights accompanied by semi professional men at arms who were more akin to mercenaries with a bulk of undisciplined peasants who were prone to fleeing at a moments notice
>>
>>1306548
Well the core of the question was if they would have been better off trading firepower for armor.
But actually I am quite sure you are wrong and medieval armies professionalized quite a bit at the end.
Is there anything worse than this? A retard ending a debate with "I win" before I even get a word in eh. I can't even begin to describe how stupid this person was.
