You Are The General Hannibal

You Are The General Hannibal is a phrasal template tweet format first coined in early 2022 by Twitter user @doulbedoink. The format juxtaposes a mundane internet event or squabble with a copypasta that reads, "You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn."
