It's quite tragic to think. Where I'm from we say "Rome wasn't built in a day", possibly because we weren't a part of Rome and had no connection to it. However for Italians, it was essentially your Empire so you say "Rome did not fall in a day".

The problem is that the necessary next step in human evolution is communism and the USA is dogmatically opposed to such a thing.

I remember during the George W. Bush years, people said America would fall like Rome because just like Rome, America was this over-extended imperial power that couldn't stop starting wars. And during the Clinton years people said America was like Rome because everyone was too distracted with wealth and frivolity. And now people say America is like Rome because there's too many problems with domestic political institutions. I feel like this is the metaphor people keep updating to describe whatever the status quo happens to be. It's a question no one ever wants to give a hard "no" to, because basically any society looks like some version of Rome from some angle.

Rome fell because they became degenerate and let the migration invasion destroy the empire... so yea totally america right now

One of the major contributors to Romes decline was inflation. Rome was, at the beginning, a Republic. It transitioned to an Empire under Ceasar. The founders mistrusted Democracys, because of the strong tendencies to decline into Mob rule. As a check to balance the Democracy, they created the US as a Republic. A Republic requires that its citizens be well informed, engaged in their governments, and behave in a manner that indicates that are Sovereign, and responsible to manage themselves for the greater good. America has and continues to decline, and is Sloughing Toward Gomorrah. Back to Rome and Inflation. Rome itself, did very little to support itself. As their armies went about the world, conquering, taxes were brought into Rome and this is what supported Rome the city. Over time, Romes money was devalued, and went from gold, silver, copper to tin. Forgive me if I have the sequence wrong. America too, is in decline as a world power. We no longer export much, we r no longer manufacture much, and our money has been devalued since Nixon I believe, took us off either the gold or silver standard. Our money has very little real value, as it 'floats' in value day to day. Impacted by daily events.

Now there is good people on both sides and people in the middle.But information travels so fast and by the time it reaches you its already out dated and new info is being echanged,but also there is a echo chamber effect and we have very little time to process the old data and new data.Also everyone and thing is to the extreme anymore,sometimes that is good,alotta times its not and right now its destroying us. I hope we all can find the common ground and keep growing for the better. Embraceing new and good ideas and respect are past and honoring are past,and yet do are best to learn from are past failures and evils and not repeat them and to write the wrongs. i belive that deep we can be better and live in some kind of peace with each other.

We're already reflecting the downfall of Rome in a major way, especially the way that entertainment has more and more become a staple of our lives. We love movies and TV shows, we idolize stars, and The Learning Channel has shows like "Honey Boo Boo" on it because it gets better ratings. Not to mention our obsession with sports. In Roman times this was called the "bread and circuses" era. They kept the people placid with entertainment, basically, while they became more and more corrupt and did their evil deeds in broad daylight while the people were too distracted to notice.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying but a huge difference between the roman empire and the united states is that the USA has a free market system in which people make entertainment for themselves and provide something else in return for each other. The roman entertainment in the roman empire was greatly dependent on both initiative of the people and the government itself. In nowadays USA, most of the events that are organized are from profit organizations who do not have any interests in corrupt politicians.

Some historian from the future: "For 300 years, the empire of America since its inception had never been successfully invaded even once. It only collapsed in on itself from the inside. Only then in its weakened form could its great lands become vulnerable to invasion from all sides."

If you've been worried your entire life, then be worried, don't change. If you've been poor, sad, tired, etc. This isn't the first time the universe has created you, and in the threshold of your variations, it's best to accept what you are and where you stand.

You have a sort of dictatorship. You get charged with hate crimes if you don't have the correct view. Society punishes you for even joking.

You can't go to the pub in England if you aren't vaxxed, do certain jobs cause your employer wants you vaxxed. You get treated like a terrorist or an insidlrectionist for being inside the Capitol and having a free tourism guide. For example, baked Alaska wasn't violent and we know it because he was live streaming everything and he was jailed in terrible conditions for a week and is threatened with a big sentence. It's called the authoritarian left. It may not be the exact definition of a dictatorship but it is very bad and what freedom do you really have?
