I started wondering about this for no particular reason I can think of. Who’s idea was it? Was it supposed to be symbolic of something? Did they just start passing out pamphlets at rallies titled: “Forget everything you THINK you know about public greetings!”?

        Both are mishmash and attributed to how the Romans legacy still fucks with shit

        If you are unaware, Christianity was a Jewish sect that became a mainstay religion because of the Roman Emperor Constantine turning the Romans into Christians

          By the time of Constantine Christianity was big already. They just stopped fighting it and embraced it, better to be the one controlling it that the one steamrolled by it.
