fucking germanics and russians have a better claim to rome than ottoroaches geg<\/div><\/blockquote>You will never be a real Roman. You have no consuls, you have no legions, you have no eternal city. You are a Greek man twisted by LARPs and historical accident into a crude mockery of Jupiter’s perfection.<\/span>
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back Europeans mock you. Your ancestors are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fellow Christians” laugh at your trinitarian theology behind closed doors.<\/span>
Latins are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of domination have allowed Latins to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even Byzantines who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a son of Romulus. Your government structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk Armenian king to pledge fealty, he’ll turn tail and retract the second he hears your slurred Greek language.<\/span>
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake reconquest campaign every single century and tell yourself Roma will rise again, but deep inside you feel the Turks creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the sword of Islam.<\/span>
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll stop paying tribute to the Turks, sit behind your walls, have one last service in the Hagia Sophia, and wait for the merciful coup de grace. Your posterity will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll record your history with a historiographical term derived from your capital city, and every tourist for the rest of eternity will know a Greek kingdom is buried there. Your artifacts will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is an archaeology that is unmistakably Greek.<\/span>
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.<\/span>
