Yes | No“I've often pondered on the fact that every single empire that has risen on this earth has eventually fallen. And I am perplexed when I see Americans strolling around with the belief that "America has always been powerful. America will always be powerful." Watch out, America: History's coming! I enjoyed how ath author spelled it out clearly. You either centralize your empire through, for example, dictatorship or you release hold on portions of your empire. But you can't have a decentralized/democratic empire.”

This book details America's self-imposed dastardly position as new-Rome-going-down-the-tubes at the dawn of a dark age. Goodbye cold war, it was fun, I'll remember the laughs. Hello security state, I was just kidding about all that stuff. They're watching and reading this right now, did you know that? It's true!”
