Let's pretend we can build a bridge between now and 43 BC. Leaving aside Roman wonder at our modern technology (and their utter disdain for the direction our architectural aesthetics have taken), what do you think they would propose for solutions for the problems of modern Europe? They held an empire together for 800 years (not counting the Greek half), so I imagine their insight would be valuable. What would Cato, Cicero, Caesar, Crassus, Cassius, Pompeius, and Brutus have to say about things like:
>refugee crisis >brexit >radical neo-Jews massacreing people >lgbt acceptance and the left's desire to abolish gender >communism >modern China >etc
They'd regret not wiping out the monotheists when they had the chance.

Now listen folks! I see the Carthaginians. They bring opium and heavy drink, they break our code of laws, they pillage. I see these issues, and I think, WE NEED TO BUILD A WALL.

Whichever country they happened to identify with, establish a patrician class based on race and strip everyone else of citizenship. Possible reintroduction of Marian style reforms, except armed with the knowledge of their own decline, constant unending propaganda of the glory of serving for your country to maintain patrician control of said armies. Introduce two tier citizenship for non patricians that can only be earned with 20+ years of military service and make it male only.
Final Solution of the Jews and outlawing of Islam and Judaism, depending on the person also Christianity. Non Europeans kept around as slave class. Enshrined in law and propaganda that non Europeans/women are never given an inch of power ever again.

Thomas Sanchez
This sounds realistic. Also they would probably make sure the shitskins never learn to read or restrict literacy from the lower classes in general. Now that we have audio/video they would have no reason to bother learning and it gives the upper classes educational superiority.

Brandon Sanchez
Do you think they would be apalled by our cultural prudishness?
Cameron Sullivan
Also since Caesar and Crassus are coming back in particular you would have a scenario where after only a few years build up all out war of conquest and subjugation ignoring MAD, because seizing the day (pun not intended) and failing in mutual annihilation is far more glorious than living in fear and trading/dealing with inferior peoples/ideologies.
Humanity would have one last hurrah in a free for all grab for power that would result in a true Roman thousand year Reich or Nuclear Winter and a hard reset where everyone is red pilled and white people take over the world again anyway.
Probably from being based in Australia after the local purges from the insurrection of the non whites (particularly muslims) since the armed forces are 99% white Europeans.
This is also the likely reality, in the vent of nay MAD scenario as Australia is not a nuclear target and at least half the continent is shielded from nuclear fallout from the north due to natural weather patterns.

Man that would be fantastic. They would know there is no way to escape it because you can't hide your skin color.
Christopher Mitchell
You know how much you guys would hate Caesar and Nero, right? They all adopted the kids that took over their position. Every one of you would call them cucks, then when caesar was murdered, you'd post on here in a heartbeat

The thing is all of these are exactly what a Roman would tell you to do.

>richfags have their own money to the people and paid for public works themselves >citizens of rome were not taxed
Given that when they did get taxed it was in precious metals whigh not many people had access to, but still.
Also, Sup Forums would love Caesar. He btfo'd the barbarians that had sacked Rome hundreds of years before, and made average Romans very wealthy. Imagine the happening thread for when he brought Legio XIII across the Rubicon.

Asking for racemixed gay criminals to solve your problems?

Romans weren't racemixed. Not the ones who had any political power, anyway.
Luis Kelly
Nero married Poppaea Sabina, a Jewess who hence became empress of Rome. This is why Nero is mentioned favourably in the Talmud and why he persecuted Christians.
In later life he also became transexual.
Rome degenerated just like we degenerated. Cultures and societies have lifespans. If you blame Christianity for le dark ages and le fall of Rome, then you are just another historically illiterate moron who bought into the progressivism meme.

Ryan Wood
Nero didnt, his boy toy sporus was made to be a trap. Given that the emperor had his pick of the litter I would wager that sporus was one good-looking trap. But that was Nero, he was a literal neckbeard.
We're walking late republic. But I guess if you want to include Augustus in the discussion that's okay too. He was a master statesman and took no shit. Divi Filivs, homo

Well they were both pretty famous for their empires and sacrifice. Plus they both got blown out by Spaniards so there's that.

They had some good ideas on citizenship and voting. Also with how they rewarded miltary veterans.

"Let's keep in the dangerous rapists that have proven themselves to be capable of fighting other people off, so we'll be /sure/ nobody can stop them"
Unless you mean keeping them in chains which I support. Also flaying them piecemeal if they get too mouthy.
Jace Sullivan
You dont understand one thing. In ancient Rom your person was at the 1 place. Rome was second to that. Rome was to be used by you to gain rich and influence. The whole "For Rome" bullshit is made up by movies. Cezar, Augustus, they all fought with thier own firends for power and only when they removed all oposition they dedicated life for Rome.

Angel Lopez
Why wouldn't they trade with China? China and Rome IRL had embassies, and China thought (favorably) of Rome as an "Anti-china" on the other side of the world.
Robert Ross
Worlds more connected now, the world was big enough for Rome and China 2000 years ago
If we're applying Roman thinking to modern problems, there's absolutely no way Rome would let China threaten its dominance
It'd be a matter of defence that China doesn't get to trade with Rome
