And don't get me started on the Romans.

After the Romans captured Carthage they murdered 450,000 of its inhabitants.

This makes Caesar's Place in Las Vegas very culturally problematic.



How does it make Caesar’s Palace problematic? The Punic Wars were long over by the time Julius Caesar was fighting Gauls. He literally overthrew the republic which caused that mass murder in Carthage a century earlier.

Are you trying to be sarcastic? Satire is dead because no one can tell any more. The internet is so vast that at least a few people have your absurd opinion, possibly including you.


And how about the indigenous Inca & Maya people, nobody wants to see their human sacrifice culture celebrated on Facebook (Mel Gibson exposed the ugly truth in Apocalypto)

And the Spanish Inquisition, Bluebeard, Ivan The Terrible, Robespierre, Lenin, Beelzebub and Donald J. Trump?

The ban list is way too short.

Apocalypto focussed on the Maya, who aren't even from the same continent as the Inca.


You’re right I always mix them up, corrected


With the exception of Lenin, I don't think contemporary political positions hold a great deal of water for any of these people. The list probably isn't an objective scale of atrocity, it's probably proportional to the volume of content that Facebook actually sees.
