I get really annoyed with the constant comparison with the "Fall of Rome".
This is not the same thing. This is a concerted attack from within, these people are deliberately dismantling a democratic society for personal profit.
- Insanity 1y agoDo you mean fall of Rome (empire) or fall of Rome (republic)? Fall of Rome’s republic was deliberate and for personal gain / profit. Edit: And I’m not saying it’s a one-to-one comparison, like a bad sequel film.. I’m saying that it’s comparable at a layer of abstraction. The fall of two large “empires” with a ton of influence on the world.

- IAmGraydon 1y agoIt’s really not. It’s blatantly wrong, actually. Money did not motivate the fall of the Republic. Literally reading even the most basic text on the period would make this obvious.
