The same reason the US did when building courthouses and monuments.

A 1000 year empire that will never be forgotten.

Nazis were autistic but aesthetic

>I don't know what the Holy Roman Empire was

The THIRD reich.

I wonder what was the first reich

Because subhumans can't into creativity or aesthetics, all they can do is copy shit like chinks

Same reason why there's no meaningful nazi art or culture, it's all borrowed and prepackaged under a subhuman reductionist race-based worldview

Also, Hitler was shit at art

National socialists were patrons of Greece and Italy

But Germanic people have no claim to the Roman Empire

Why is Caesar's name synonymous with aristocracy and power? Why is the Fasces a symbol of absolute power? Why is the political body of Rome its self emulated in 200 different countries? It was pretty cool desu.

They didn't, European architecture is basically Roman architecture spread around Europe, they already had it before nazis.

They saw themselves as the true successors of Rome via the Holy Roman Empire. Hence they called themselves the third reich where the HRE was the first. It's an age-old aspiration that even the Turks wanted in on after they took Constantinople.

...

True fact: The German word for King "Kasier" comes from Cesaer.

They didn't see themselves as the successors to Rome at all. Rome is just the default image of a strong, long lasting civilisation that has been made infamous because of its interesting as fuck history and modern romanticising.

How the fuck could they see themselves as successors?

The name Caesar in Latin is pronounced Kaiser.

Julius Caesar was black, Romans weren't white, European natives stole everything from Rome during the Dark Ages and rewrote history from a white perspective

nice.

Woke

...

Because the Vatican, arguably the last institute of old Rome, endorsed the Holy Roman Empire as the one true successor to the Roman Empire.

Gothic > Classical

Errmmm actually the true successors of the Roman Empire were the Byzantines

Wasn't he also after artifacts? Stuff with occult value? Can't remember what I last saw on the Hitler channel

The Holy Roman Empire was the first Reich I thought

But we know what we think of that now, don't we? And what the Roman senate would've considered it as. And Roman citizens.

It's way older than Hitler. Charlemagne started the process in Western Europe.

>But Germanic people have no claim to the Roman Empire

they conquered Rome and adopted Roman law, philosophy, and have spread it all across the world. They actually do have a right to claim it. In fact, all European nations have that right because all of our cultures and philosophy have more or less roots in ancient Greek-Roman philosophy and culture. We all added our different flavour to it, but we all live on the foundations of those two cultures.

Correct

First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire
Second Reich was Prussia during reunification

DAS RITE

Germans have been WEWUZ ROMANS since the days of the actual Roman empire, to the Franks, to the HRE. Even the German "Kaiser" is derived from "Caesar". Hitler and Speer were just doing what came naturally.

Also, until the whole absolutist monarchy / divine right of kangz thing went out of style, kingships were seen as bestowed by God himself (and his representative on earth, the pope, who was a continuation of Roman power and authority) so for about a thousand years after the fall of Rome, Europe was squabbling over who was the rightful successor to the Roman empire.

Everything you listed, which was only Roman law and philosophy, was already widespread before Julius Caesar was even a twinkle in his father's testicles you inbred Germanic scum. Stop creating pseudo histories to serve your idiotic claims.

Italy was part of the axis you pathetic cock sucking kike vermin. The Jew has never been anything other than a parasite feeding off great nations.

>ven the German "Kaiser" is derived from "Caesar"

Most European languages have a shit-ton of latin words. German is no exception.

Same reason as the US, British, and even Russians. They wanna be seen as the third Rome, the successor state to the Roman Empire, and the center of white Christendom. The British tried, the Germans tried, and then the Americans and Russians tried during the Cold War. Nazi Germany and the US have arguably come the closest, though Russia has no intention of letting it happen.

yeah, yeah, we get it, you were kangz and shiiit

Roman law was unknown of north of the Danube, est of the Elbe river. Roman Law and philosophy was adopted and spread thanks to Germanic peoples who were the spiritual successors of Rome after defeating it. With Germanic conquests, roman culture, law, philosophy etc. was spread and and became the firm foundation of each nation in Europe. It's a blueprint on which all European states are built upon. I'm not claiming anything It's just how it is.

I chalk it up to that lingering impulse to try to put the Roman Empire back together again.

The E.U. is the latest attempt at that.

Face it guys, the Roman Empire is not coming back, and every time you've tried to put it back together again, it has blown apart, sometimes in pretty funny ways.

Most other nations (other than the Russians) manage to get by just fine without LARPing as ROMANZ AN SHEIT.
It's been a German passtime since forever.

who'se larping? you don't understand the basic concepts upon which the indo-european languages of today are built upon and upon which every nation in Europe built their societies.

DAS REICH

The United States is the closest thing to the late Roman Republic if that helps.

What are you talking about? All european languages have a huge amount of latin words including the germanic ones. Also Russia was influenced more by Greece(Byzantium) then Latin Rome.

Everyone is stealing from Rome, it's like we can't come up with anything new or as better than Ancient Rome.

It's not stealing more like working on the foundation which was left.

Words? Sure.
We didn't spend 1,000 years pretending to be the roman empire (spoiler alert, you never were)

Not really. Rome endured over 1000 years and was never ruled by kikes. Bit early to be bestowing such greatness or making comparisons.

The Roman Republic only existed for 500 years and ended in absolute monarchism.

because fascism is a return to ancient roman ideals.

Wait, you know there were two seperate stages to Roman history before the Empire right?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Kingdom
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Republic

cause they were inspired by Greek philosophy, same as the founding fathers of the U.S. Look at the architecture they used in America.

The ideal of NatSoc was the Platonic Republic, like the FF

Yeah kike parasite I know that.

Nazis literally stole everything from the Romans, Persiasn and Indians regarding symbols, architecture and pretended it was germanic all along.

They didn't want to admit that Germans were niggers throughout most of their history.

You don't or you'd have known what I was talking about and not resort to bullshit. The system of the US is modelled after the Roman Republic with a strengthened execute branch. It's collapsing in the same way and will end the same way, which was with the Empire.

Also, Czar comes from Caesar as well

What did they steal from Persians and Indians? are you one of those retards that thinks that swastika is an Indian invention?
Hitler did admit that they were nigger most of the history, Himmler was trying to discover some ancient germanic technology or some bullshit and Hitler basically told him to stop being a dumbass.
they didn't steal anything from Romans either, they adopted it, they didn't hide the fact that things that were Roman were Roman, that's not stealing.

Europe has a shared culture. Meds trying to claim we wuz german architecture is just as silly. Sure, it borrowed from some med but its infused with their own style too.

>Russians
>claim to be third rome
>Czar=Caesar

Germany was literally called the Holy Roman Empire for four centuries. We wuz literally Romans. Literally

>200 different countries

I don't think there are that many countries

Because they were larpers.

Go suck kike cock you stupid cunt.

I took liberties but its not really an exaggeration when there are 192 countries in the world and 152 claim to be republics of some form.

>waht is romen

I know the Czar/Tsar is thought to have come from Caesar but Sarru/Sar is a word in many languages meaning king. It originated in Akkadian (Sargon=Sarru-kin)

Germans and Scandinavians are much closer genetically and culturally to ancient Romans than whatever it is squatting on stolen lands in Italy and Greece presently.

It was a form of Fascism which started in Italy and obsessed about recreating the Roman Empire.

>stoicism

Nah it comes directly from old slavonic. цѣcapь = Caesar

Who wouldn't want to adopt Roman and Greek imagery? It's like Europe's soul.

Maybe they felt guilty for helping destroy such an amazing empire.

Germans always were heavily influenced by the Romans, long before the Nazis came along. The old European nations (prior to the world wars) always acknowledged Roman influenced, and considered Rome the predecessor of the great European Colonial empires. You will find Roman and Greek symbols in British and French culture at that time as well, not just the Nazis, (dumbass).

Not roman, not holy and not even an empire. The HRE was like a feudal EU. Also we were never romans. The Byzantines were the true successor to Rome, not us. Our civilization begins between 1450 and 1514 for all intents and purposes. Seeing the west appropriating Romans symbols makes me sick. Pretentious bullshit.

thats what superior civilization looks like

Nazis didn't overtake Roman/Greek aesthetics. The greek pillar is doric and oscillates, while nazi architecture tends to the infinite.

Almost nothing in modern science was actually invented by the Greeks/Romans. It's just a myth.

Literally looks like North Korea

[imperial translation intensifies]

its so beautiful

wtf greece can afford internet?

>A 1000 year empire that will never be forgotten.

I thought it was slightly different, like "KAI-sar" rather than "KAI-zur"

no it doesn't. NK uses soviet aesthetics

Not that user but classic Latin all Cs are pronounced like a hard K and I'm pretty sure that's for all Cs. It's been years since I took Latin and I wasn't the best student but yeah Kai-ser Ken-turian Skool-a ectect.

Personally I prefer the anglicized Latin pronunciation and grammar rules. Even if it's not accurate to the original language. It sounds better to an English speaker and makes more sense.

Swedecuck education, everyone.

Yeah the "v" being pronounced as "w" always made me shudder. WENI WIDI WICTUS

*WICI

they never claimed to be, thats why they called themselves the Third Reich and not the Roman empire.

1. Ancient Germans were nomads begore being accepted into the Empire, tents and campfires don't work well as architectural models

2. Pre-Christian Rome was arguably the pinnacle of European culture before semitic culture subverted it

Because they wanted to be the Third Reich and last 1,000 years.

Rome was first, lasting a thousand years; Constantinople was an offshoot of Rome, and lasted another thousand years.

Hitler was really only declaring the Third Reich about, what, 25 years after the Second ended.

They're as Catholic as the Romans were, so, yeah.

Read Mein Kampf where Hitler talks about finishing the job of killing the Jews that the Catholic church in Rome started.

But for the Pope's '33 Concordat with Hitler, there is no Hitler. There is no Nazi party. The Pope made them legitimate. And then the Pope and Hitler attempted to kill all the communists and "Christkillers" on earth.

You don't get invited to parties often, do you?

None of the current nations and people here who identify as "white" were Romans. Lol. There is a remnant of Roman blood in Southern Europe, but they're only white when albino cucks find it convenient.

The Romans had battles against Germanic peoples while Rome was in power, and they actually had some funny things to say about Germanics, in particular about their women. LOL

Read "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon for more details (and lulz).

The Holy Roman Empire was Germans literally branding themselves as Romans because the Pope gave their leader the title of Emperor

That's right rape baby, they do copy, same reason you are copying the mighty Whitey speaking Spanish and English.
Because you are a subhuman.
A conquered subhuman.
So what if Hitlers paintings were lame, he still dominated Europe. You are nothing but an eternal untermensch in comparison mate.

First, the Egyptians
Second, the Romans
I'm just waiting for the day a dumb nigger says"Hitler was black!"

Exactly. Faggots here should be glad Nazis revived aspects of Rome from the salute to the idea of a 1,000 year Empire... Rather than just bragging eternally about the fact that Germanics conquered the Romans.

QUADS OF THE GODS

Nope.
That's retarded.
Blacks did not build the Roman Empire.
Haha how much did they build in Africa?
And don't give me that Egypt shit.
You wuz not kangz and shiiiet.

You have to go.

>can't prove a point so pulls some random shit

>every time the architects came back to hitler he told them to make the dome bigger

>makes an aesthetic judgment where he considers the most boring and sanitized aesthetic a great society
>is surprised when people call him out for the boring person that he is

>Faggots here should be glad Nazis revived aspects of Rome
No ones mad, it's just the fact that it was not at all original and not even a 'revival' to begin with. Nazi neo-classical stuff was used with the purpose of jacking themselves off at an astronomically higher rate.
