You are correct, the condition of the Empire of the United States, is very similar to that with Rome, and several other empires, as they begin to fall. However, your reasons for which appear to be regurgitated talking points. How about we have an open discussion about the reasons for the fall and we, as the people who will have to pick up the pieces to do about the re-formation should approach the solutions.
Discussion
I don't think they're regurgitated talking points. I think it's an accurate comparison to the collapse of The Roman Empire. We can point to the overextension of the military as another reason for America's decline. Of course I don't have all the answers. If you have more context you'd like to add, please do.
Let’s start with economic influences, OK?
One sign of the coming fall is the fact that the United States has been devaluing its currency for over 150 years. Just as the Roman empire started, making smaller, thinner coins and assigning the same “value”.
This started with the issuance of “greenbacks” ainstruments of debt instead of hard money for a completely unnecessary Civil War. Although the United States returned to a gold standard shortly after. In 1913, the federal reserve was created signaling the beginning of the end of hard money in the issuance of debt as currency as we understand it today. When you look at a dollar bill it says it is a federal reserve “note.” a note is an instrument of debt. Not an asset. In 1930 executive order 6102 confiscated gold from the citizens of United States, pushing us further off a hard money, standard and deeper into fiat debt. The last directions to the gold standard were raised in 1971 and our money has been worthless ever cents. Inflation comes from an over supply of money. For example, the current inflation the world is experiencing now is due to the fact that the United States increased its money supply by 30% beginning in 2020. We are all working for a currency that can be printed for free at a whim of someone in a position of power.
First point of debate I would like to argue with you is that you stated “Fascism is also rising as it usually does when a capitalist system is in decay.” However, capitalism is the absence of government interference in an economy. How do you rectify the previous statement of fact where the government has been a major influencer in the economy and still call this a capitalist system? Rather, it appears that we are a democracy in decay. Also a strong parallel to the fall of the Roman empire. Once people have the ability to vote themselves free stuff, democracy begins to collapse. We are born with all the rights that we will ever have. No government should decree them. Abilities and responsibilities however, are earned. There should be no right to vote, but an ability to earn the responsibility of voting. Every democracy that ever existed has collapsed. Historically speaking, shortly after giving a majority of people the ability to vote.
