      The Roman Empire, which lasted about 1000 years, looking at the American Empire collapsing after 250 years:

              Nope. Other than all having a bird, they don’t have anything in common. The designs are wildly different, the first two aren’t holding weapons but rather representations of the sun, and I’m not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding, but it doesn’t look like any recognizable weapon.

              Not to mention that the regimes referenced were wildly different in most ways and rivals where overlap happened. This is “the Illuminati controls everything” level bullshit.

              My nuts are nice and responsive btw, thank you very much 😄

                In this case, it may just be AI generated garbage. But historically, the Roman eagle was sometimes stylized holding bolts of lightning (as a reference to Jupiter).

          The US eagle was indeed inspired by the Roman one, but that doesn’t mean it’s a continuation of that empire.

                  Yes. You posted a picture of past Empires that used birds as symbols, implying that’s the reason America is “the Roman Empire.” But Egypt did it first.

              Yeah but the bald eagle in particular has a proclivity towards cowardice and scavenging, despite its size. Red tailed hawk or turkey is a much more admirable bird

                Turkeys are super cool, but it’s still a bit silly to apply human values to wild animals. Pretty much all animals are wired to survive while expending the least amount of energy and reducing risk to themselves. Stealing catches from other animals is quite common across species because it’s easier and safer. The reality is that it’s brutal out there. I don’t have diminished admiration for a bear because it found some food in a trash can instead of catching fish from a stream.
