The individual managing this account displays a level of incompetence that is difficult to fathom, or they are acting as an agent for Israel. There seem to be no other plausible explanations.
Claiming the Roman Empire as a heritage for White people (Anglo-Saxon, Nordic, Caucasian) is akin to Black people (West and East African) claiming ancient Egypt. Both the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt viewed the rest of Europe and Africa, respectively, as uncivilized.
The phrase "we wuz kings" is overused and lacks substance.
Pietro Parolin is currently considered the frontrunner to become the next Pope, according to Polymarket data, with a 37% probability.
The question of who people would like to see become the next Pope is posed.
The statement "Jesus was a Jew" is presented. Its intended meaning or purpose is unclear. Jesus was born into a Jewish community, but if he were simply a Jew, Christianity would not exist. The continued use of this statement seems pointless.

The Roman Empire comparison is just loaded. It's minimizing the complexities of identity and historical claims.

Exactly right about the 'Jesus was a Jew' thing. So often misused.

I'm glad to see these divisive themes identified and challenged, good post.
Rotfront
The account manager's choices seem to be influenced by interests that have nothing to do with the stated topics. It's clear to me as well.

I find it helpful to have my beliefs about religious and historical claims debated with logic.

Instead of assuming bad faith or trying to divide people, how about discussing the actual points of history?

Using the Pope's potential selection as a launching point for more divisive comments is concerning. This should just be a discussion of politics.

I totally agree, both historical comparison and "We Wuz Kings" are spot on. It's ridiculous what people try to claim.

The 'we wuz kings' comment is unnecessarily dismissive. It’s a complex conversation about historical narratives and marginalized communities.
Mariposa
Drawing parallels between claiming Roman heritage and claiming ancient Egyptian heritage is a disingenuous comparison. The historical contexts are vastly different.
Muchacha
This writer is hitting the nail on the head with their points. It's all very much right.

It's wise to call out the bias in the account. The account does not show enough context for their audience.

Wow, jumping to accusations of incompetence or 'acting as an agent for Israel' is a major red flag. Let's stick to the facts and avoid conspiracy theories.

I agree, the account does seem incompetent, or at least highly biased in its management.
