debt that the US owes itself
But I could be forgetting the names of the parties again
you're lucky I bothered to open that instead of going "that image is fucked" 🤣
@RMS_Gigantic Didn’t you say the one in the oval office was refurbished in the 50’s?
I'd love to owe debt to myself <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Aye, but I found an even more interesting case
Here's how the House chamber looked from at least the 1890's, if not earlier, through WWII: http://historycms.house.gov/assets/15032390670.jpeg
oh
well then congress
The room was decorated in a Victorian style
notice the different style of fasces
It was redecorated in Early Federal style in 1949-1950
including what appears to be the modern, seemingly much larger fasces
fasces that, interestingly enough, face the opposite directions from the old ones
you know, I wanna make it a goal of mine to convince as many people as possible that the fasces is a symbol of the republic and not fascism.
The people who need to know that already do
cause god fucking damnit Mussolini.
Rather hilariously, the current trick is to keep the SJWs from noticing these VERY OBVIOUS fasces decorating the House chamber
I saw someone, maybe in here, post a shitload of images of all the fasces symbols used on government flags, buildings etc in the US
Yup, that was me
in voice chat?
yep
Yep!
I should save 'em
*puts on bathsuit*
I was continuing that here by show that the House chamber had different fasces until 1949-1950
down to <#383108664380227595> I go
we we’re talking about the architecture of the capital building, and then he posted an image of it that happened to be on inauguration day. And I remarked how it looked not unlike Wolfenstein.
Yup, the Wolfenstein bit reminded me of all the fasces all over the place in DC
The picture, for those just joining us
Decorations that would make the Roman Republic blush, I argue
It's during ceremonies like this that the US government shows its age as a government
A republic at that
Friendly reminder that the statue on top of the Capitol dome has a base surrounded by fasces https://www.aoc.gov/sites/default/files/styles/artwork-node/public/images/artwork/6082847594_dbd316af1a_b.jpg?itok=rFXUxFIj
@meratrix You could only see it from a distance in the House chambers image, but here's a closer up, albeit black-and-white, image of the Mace of the House of Representatives https://cao.scotfaulkner.com/sgtatarms/images/staff.gif
note the fasces base, and the globe with the American hemisphere facing forward
