Why Rome Was Actually an Evil Empire (The Anti-Civilization)

Описание: The Roman Empire wasn't a civilization—it was an anti-civilization.

We are taught that Rome was the pinnacle of law, order, and glory. But what if the entire history of Rome is a fabrication designed to cover up a society built purely on hatred, slavery, and trauma?

In this lecture, we deconstruct the "Secret History" of Rome. We explore why the Roman war machine was unstoppable (hint: it wasn't military genius, it was poverty and desperation), why famous battles like Cannae might be total fiction, and how Roman myths like the Aeneid were propaganda designed to destroy the Greek ideals of love and reflection.
