    That’s the crux of white superiority racism in the west. Romans are elevated to a near mythical level of advancement by people who can’t do trig. That “advanced civilization” idea is then applied to human rights problems like slavery and libertarian ideas like Crassus’ fire fighters. Racists are also notorious for not thinking shit through and that short term planning problem is why they never actually succeed, they just fuck up shit for others and then die.
