Tom Cleary :
Did the Roman Empire fall, or did it just become a church?

We all know what led to the downfall of Rome and it’s the same evil that leads to the downfall of every society. We are just not allowed to name the perpetrators

the thing I found fascinating a out global history is China, it's even older than Rome, achieved even greatest things and never truly disintegrate like Rome did.

The fall of the USA is reminiscent of the fall of the Roman empire.

every big empire/country will eventually collapse due to corruption

Are we really using Gibbon as the answer for such an important question in the big 2025 💀?

Jesus, imagine using Gibbons to formulate an opinion on this. it was a great work of Historiography back in the 1700's but our knowledge has gotten so much better and this criticism can be said about any nation. "If they just handled X differently, it would have been better"

Maybe if they had ever bothered to codify an actual succession process, instead of just hoping the current Emperor named an heir before getting axed.

Michael Parker :
The Romans fell because of fractured belief in the Religion they created. The religious leaders didn’t all agree on their path. Also, the churches took all the wealth and resources. Then the Romans became the Vatican and is still controlling the world with its influence

All empires rise and fall…if you have a moderate understanding about the “reality” u were born into then you understand this concept and is 100% true….you literally can’t have one without the other..if it rises…it will fall…if there’s life…there’s death…if there’s light…there’s darkness…etc…etc…

Roman empire never fall, they just downscale into the Vatican. Same with the British empire, they just became the banks

I think he’s technically correct and wrong simultaneously. Like yes you could argue if they did x, y and z differently.. if majorian was never assassinated etc could the empire have lasted a hundred or even hundreds of more years- yes. But the way it was fundamentally governed made it almost destined to collapse. The eastern empire was not nearly as corrupted by its slave holding elites and the emperor had held a stronger central authority unlike in the west. They also were able to adapt to the times for a while but they too became susceptible to the corruption of aristocracy

the Roman empire was only as good as it was conquering and replacing spent funds with stolen funds. As soon as that stops, it was over

Rome didn’t fall, the Romans became the Brutish British empire.

Making a strong statement on far back history we only have limited data of is simply ahistorical hackery.

Yeah but you say that from the prism of today..the decadence, the bastardisation of morals, that’s what made Rome collapse as every great civilisation before and after.

graveyardshift123 :
Our own American downfall mirrors the Roman fall. The EU remains and is much more flexible and robust. Our own rigid system is entirely bent and rampant with corruption. Apparently beyond redemption.

The Roman Empire just transformed Western Europe and the US is a continuation of it

I respectfully disagree. It was inevitable. Roman institutions had very little error correcting mechanisms-especially imperial Rome. Even many states today are at the whim of their Authoritarian regimes to correct disastrous errors. It’s not a question of if but when they collapse
