>an old aesthetic is commodified to satisfy the ego of women and delude them into thinking they're intelligent even though they've merely adopted a fashion style
Not sure who to hate more, the capitalist class or the female gender. Both are so cringe. Both won't just let the world be authentic. It's all about money and image. The Spectacle moves on, devours all, and leaves no room for a sincere existence. However, for this trend in particular, I blame Harry Potter. This is basically just an extension of the Hogwarts universe into our world. I guarantee all these girls fancy themselves Hermiones.

The oppressive aspect of the already decadent Roman Empire come mostly from conscription. The early Christians refused to fight, which led to soldier martyrs (the killing of Christians who practiced non-violence). The Roman Empire also tried to force Christians to take up/maintain (int eh case of conversion) political offices, and once again many Christians refused.

This is apart from martyrdom and the killing of Christians, which happened all too many times during the Roman occupation of many non-Italic lands. That said, Paul was a Roman and made good use of his citizenship many times. And he seemed to advocate a certain detachedness from political figures, and a sort of indifferent submission. Once again, Christianity is very multifaceted and Christianity is not synonymous with Christendom, that's the say, the body of people who claim to be Christian.
