Do you think a new Rome would benefit us in today's age? Perhaps it would inspire a new "uprising" in folkish loyalty that seems to be lacking?

If Rome had not embarked upon its empire building and consumed the higher culture and intelligence of its surrounding neighbours, Rome would have stayed the backwards, ignorant bastard of the Mediterranean.
My opinion is that Rome became the best only because the cultures and nations they encountered pushed them to go beyond their actual means.
Would I have entered into Roman servitude and exacted upon others as had been done to me?
No.
Not yet, I do not see a benefit. However, the folkish uprisings I see are not of the good sort, they're not our folk that are uprising. I'm speaking in terms of our people, specifically those in America, and more so in my state of Ohio. The people in Ohio used to have deep cultural heritage much of which has fallen by the wayside in more recent times. An uprising is needed in order to make ourselves known, and the anti-American sentiment is mostly rooted in the foul politics of the modern American war machine that is fueled by outsiders. We need an uprising within our own borders fueled by our own people so we can make our place in our own lands by force if necessary, and force seems to be the only, and I mean only, option now.
And there is no "force" here outside of ignorant extremist groups, we need a well balanced force composed of logical and rational individuals willing to stand up for their people above all else.
This is the crux of the matter for me, too. In that context I would very much have preferred Roman hegemony to the splintering and weakening which resulted in Charlemagne's attempted genocide of my ancestors, perpetrated alongside forced conversion (mightily resisted) to worshipping the Semite-on-a-stick.
How many modern western European nations come out of the territories once controlled by the old Roman empire? How many modern western European peoples are themselves descendants of Romans and Romanized subjects?
