>>11340107Never claimed they do, but you and the other medniggers seem to misunderstand something basic.
They weren't LARPing as Romans, Karl the Great was seen as the inheritor of the empire which ruled most of the known world because he had conquered most of the known world. The pope was far from alone in that belief because it was obvious
>>11340111Lmao, nice try. He conquered half of Italy and the pope begged him not to rape Rome and offered him the title of the successor of the Emperors. He was a sentimental guy and accepted instead of tearing through the rest of Italy as well.
Similarly to the Langobarden who took over northern Italy to settle there and have it be known as lombardy to this day, he conquered Italy. Or at leas the worthwhile half.
Really makes you think that southern italy is a third world shithole while northern italy is both whiter and way more succesful when the major difference is repeated rapes and being conquered and settled by their Germanic superiors.
