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

yannow something that didn't strike me until I was IN DC facing Congress

is how fuckin roman it looks

Yup, early America LOVED the Roman Republic

I knew that America had a Hardon for rome but it wasn't until I was there thst I appreciated it

ditto to Lincoln memorial

Also note the similar cores of the fronts of the buildings representing all three branches of the US government

big greek-ass temple
