    Washington DC is full of Roman motifs. There’s Fasces carved into granite/marble on all sorts of federal buildings. TBF it all predates WWII and “Fascism” proper by a lot.

    There’s also several buildings where the ceiling is covered with criss crossing Greek meanders which naturally form a tessalating pattern of swastikas.

      Well the fasces in the house of representatives that Owl noticed were installed in the 1950s.

        The wall behind the rostrum still includes decorative Roman fasces—a classical symbol of civic authority and unity—but stylized and in bronze rather than gilded iron.

        Really wanting to hold onto the idea of them being “The New Rome” after defeating some fakers.

        Basically every country obsessed with Rome is cringe and that’s like “the west”.
