Worse than a Roman Empire guy, he is specifically an Augustus Caesar simp
Powerful men do love a transhistorical man-crush – fixating on an ancestor figure, who can be venerated, perhaps surpassed. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has told the New Yorker about his particular fascination with the Roman emperor, Augustus – he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have even called one of their children August.
“Basically, through a really harsh approach, he established 200 years of world peace,” Zuckerberg explained. He pondered, “What are the trade-offs in that? On the one hand, world peace is a long-term goal that people talk about today …” On the other hand, he said, “that didn’t come for free, and he had to do certain things”.
Ugh I know it’s not the point but these fucking dorks can’t even be accurate about the history they worship. The so-called “Pax Romana” he loves so much wasn’t “world peace” but “relative stability in the imperial core at the expense of everyone around them”!
He’s just being a mask off fascist tbh, he’s saying it’s fine for the world to burn so long as he can rule a corner of it
Zuck just lusts for a return to feudalism.
Ngl pretty sure he’s a Roman empire guy, he had a “Roman” haircut for ages iirc
