Thread: Denouement of U.S. Empire

  1. #1

    Default Denouement of U.S. Empire

    The marks of imperial decadence appeared not only in grotesque displays of public opulence and waste, but also in the collapse of faith in reason and science.
    The end is near.

    The editor doesn't even realize that Rome lasted for another 1000 years and even grew back to great heights 200 years later. Garbage article.

    If you really want to get into it, the fall of the Western portion of the empire began when they started allowing Germanic tribes to settle within Roman borders. I'd say immigration is what killed them just as much as anything else.

    Dinosaurs did great too yet its a metaphor that we all understand the meaning of.

    We'll see what happens. Its unwise to take for granted the Republic will remain with a democratic system.

    Reconquering a portion of their previous territory != growing to great heights.

    Face it Gelston, the Canadian hordes are coming.
    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    If only someone had the foresight to put something into our laws to try to give citizens a way to combat this. Maybe an amendment of some sort would have been in order.

    But that is just it. It wasn't a fall. The dipped and then came back again before they fell. Muslims were their eventual downfall. MUSLIMS TAERNATH.

    Calling losing over 50% of your territory a "dip" is pretty generous.
