"It is neither right nor creditable that our race should cease, and the name of Romans be blotted out with us, and the city be given over to foreigners—Greeks or even barbarians..... do you, then, who are Romans from the beginning and claim as your ancestors the famous Marcii, the Fabii, the Quintii, the Valerii, and the Julii, do you desire that your families and names alike shall perish with you?" Emperor Augustus, 9 BC (as quoted by Cassius Dio in Roman History) https://lexundria.com/dio/56.7/cy

Death is not the enemy, it is fear; fear of confronting what is uncomfortable, what's painful. But this world isn't meant to be a place of comfort, it is an arena and the harsh truth is that you are not getting out of it alive. It is human nature to always do everything to avoid discomfort, to avoid pain; we deceive, we lie to ourselves; we become compromising, agreeable; we say "yes" when we mean "no", in order to avoid conflict; because we are afraid of not being liked, of being rejected. But agreeability disguised as kindness is nothing but weakness and the weak are not respected, they are exploited; they are replaced, forgotten. Paralyzed by our fears, we choose to not break the shackles of what is keeping us down; it is comfort at the expense of growth. But he who chooses to not grow will be crushed, crushed by the harsh reality of this universe; his suffering won't be temporary, it will be eternal. Be kind because you choose to, not because you have to. Be one with the fire or else its flames will devour you. Be the storm or be blown away by it. This world respects nothing but strength.

Knowledge is just knowledge and when you fail to effectively apply it, it's like having a wardrobe full of clothes that you're never going to wear — useless. Be effective.

Are you a wolf or a sheep? Wood engraving by Gustave Doré – Les Loups et les Brebis (The Wolves and the Sheep), 1867

La camicia plumbea La storica divisa lombardista, creata da Paolo Sizzi nel 2011 con l’avvento del Movimento Nazionalista Lombardo, consiste in una camicia grigio piombo (da qui l’appellativo dei militanti lombardisti) con le insegne sociali (Croce lombardista), nazionali (Biscione e Aquila imperiale), cantonali, in un paio di pantaloni neri stile “combat” e in un paio di lustri anfibi parimenti neri. La divisa invernale prevede anche un lungo cappotto nero o antracite. Con Grande Lombardia la camicia divenne più spartana, limitandosi ad una spilla dell’associazione. Inizialmente era prevista una divisa femminile: camicetta bianca con Croce lombardista, cravattino rosso, gonna nera e scarponcini neri ma non venne impiegata (pur avendo sostenitrici mancavano militanti). L’idea della divisa, la camicia plumbea, esprime l’esigenza di creare spirito di gruppo, di squadra, potendo contare su tangibili segni distintivi identitari, sebbene non mancassero, da parte dei detrattori, paralleli con fascismo e nazismo.

Even from a linguistic point of view, Northern Italian dialects are Gallo-Roman and belong to the Western Romance branch. The Central and Southern Italian dialects, on the other hand, belong to the Eastern Romance branch and Sardinian is Southern Romance and the most conservative of all three.

I didn't create this post; however, it's true that Italy is the most heterogeneous country in Europe, from a genetic and cultural perspective. Even from a linguistic point of view, Northern Italian dialects are Gallo-Roman and belong to the Western Romance branch. The Central and Southern Italian dialects, on the other hand, belong to the Eastern Romance branch and Sardinian is Southern Romance and the most conservative of all three. Northern Italians mostly descend from the Celtic populations who inhabited the area, Central and Southern Italians mostly descend from the Late Imperial Romans and have a lot of Eastern Mediterranean ancestry and Sardinians are considered to be the most genetically isolated people in Europe, who descend from the Neolithic farmers that inhabited the island already millennia ago. Those peoples simply don't belong together in my opinion. I support Paolo Sizzi and the Lombardist cause and I'm for Sardinian independence and the creation of a Sardinian nation.

we were never a true nation, we always had a very distinct genetic profile

"Fratelli d'Italia": a concept based on Nonsense Northern "italians" are genetically closer to North-west europeans than they are to southern italians. We were never "brothers", we were never a true nation, we always had a very distinct genetic profile, and genetics is just one - yet fundamental - thing we differ in, there is also history, culture, language...

Cisalpine Gaul Cisalpine Gaul, which literally means “Gaul on this side of the Alps” was the name given by the Romans to northern Italy, the area south of the Alps and north of the Apennines. it was simply part of the wider Gallic world, the southern frontier of Celtic Europe. Between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, Celtic peoples from across the Alps migrated into the Po Valley. These included tribes such as: Insubres, Cenomani, Boii and Senones. Earlier, the region had already seen the Golasecca culture, a Celtic-speaking population that developed locally and acted as an intermediary between the transalpine Celts and the Etruscans to the south.
