No, it isn’t. The American Empire is a direct descendant of the British Empire - would you say the British Empire is still alive and kicking?

it most certainly is friend. Rome still lives you’d be a fool to dismiss it. how can you defeat an enemy that is thought to not exist?

The eagle steals prey from other creatures, like the fake predator it is.

Raptors are awesome and they absolutely hunt and kill other animals. You don’t have to make up fake animal facts to dunk on the US.
Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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
spidermanchild@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
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.

Ben Franklin said we shoulda gone with the turkey!

it’s the same logo for the same empire numb nuts, just rebranded with better weapons
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
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).
