    When people ask why men are always fascinated by the Roman Empire it’s because it’s analogous to our current timeline. It’s a great way to parse where we are or how far we have left to fall.

      History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. It gives us hints, like all great powers in the past. The question is, how much are we willing to learn?

      jk, we’re Americans, we don’t learn shit

      I have been fascinated by the era when Roman Empire collapsed and what happened then. Maybe I’m trying to make myself understand that people still lived their lives and survived. At least some of them.
