Rome never fell, it became the Vatican.
Caesar became the Pope.
Caesar would hold two swords crossed in an X above his head and announce He is Caesar!
The pope(s) has done this aswell.
They perverted the message of Jesus.
People came from all across the land to dump gold and jewels into the coffers of the roman church.
so yeah, it's bank. But it's a doppelganger Jesus.
When in Rome
You live by Roman code
It used to be
If you don’t like it, you could leave
But then the walls came down
And so it’s all Rome now
It was the golden age before the firewall blew
Pictures pretty and the products all new
But then the data got bigger than the beta test who
‘da thought, after all, looks like the wire wore you
And I think beauty fucks us up
It’s like sugar—in the natural world, we’d never get this much
So the appetite is bottomless, call Maybelline Anonymous
Make narcissists of all of us, we never get enough
It’s two-bit feminism, only says you’re better than
Some other bitch -- that’s digging the same ditch
One of us winning don’t fix the damn system
Toes out, girls, back to second position
The natural order is value-neutral
Culture institutes a few virtues
Capital comes and brings moral confusion
But do anything long enough and the body gets used to it
