Skye: Our teacher is so cringe sometimes. She started this week's history lesson by trying to jump on this "how often do you think about the Roman Empire?" meme.

You know what was funny though? A bunch of people were so damn sure of what caused the Fall of Rome, and why that matters to us today, including the teacher. "It was clipping the money and inflation, so we need to get the deficit under control and stop printing." "No no, it was the barbarians increasingly coming in to do the work the Romans refused to do, so we gotta fix immigration here." Brian had a pretty out there take: "Cucked Christianity made the Romans weak, just like woke culture is today." Not sure where he heard that lol.

The teacher said she thought it was a loss of the spirit and vitality in the culture. Everyone got too comfortable and complacent. All they cared about was bread and circuses and they didn't have the energy or mindset to deal with their problems anymore; always looking for the easy way out.

I don't have the energy or mindset to listen to this shit all day. You talk to 10 people and you'll hear 20 different reasons why the world is falling apart, and if only they had the power they could fix everything. Cope more, they usually can't even get their own life in order.
