Do you know how it died

Pissed off plebs who supported Caesar over the senators

Democracies today are extremely corrupt too

it died because stoics are fags

It's just legalized corruption

It died through authoritarianism and open borders

>stoics are fags
explain

lol

What

Open borders?

roman empire was fucked by migrants

oh you mean the republic?

Roman Empire isn't the Roman republic

were talking the republic

and it didn't have open borders

Wtf

Basically did

Any foederati who rebelled were right to do it

Emperors let mass immigration and settlement happen

They were used as meatshields by the romans

Wasn't that Caesar

So romans didn't have to fight

Good riddance Roman Empire

Had he taken charge at this time or was he the end of the republic?

Roman republic was good and the empire was decent in the beginning

No it wasnt

Republic was extremely corrupt

Their reliance on slaves really fucked em good

Empire was also corrupt

It's surprising they lasted so long

Not many emperors lasted very long tho

All governments are corrupt but the Roman system obviously worked

Civilized mass swathes of Europe

You mean the emperor getting assassinated and replaced every few years later on in the empire

Slavery doesn't work because of that

What do you mean

Barbarians were perfectly civilized

Not at all

Yes they were

They had stable social structures and culture

That's just Roman propaganda

sure, they had civilization, but they were primitive

They make barbarians out to be idiots

How so?

Let's be honest, the romans were technologically shit too

Thousands of years of tribal despots

They relied too heavily on slaves so they didn't advance their technology. It's a large reason they got wrecked in the end

The romans hired so many barbarian mercs as soldiers

And remember

Who had op cavalry compared to Rome

Yes they did

They had technology

they're not as caveman like as you probably think

They were relatively benevolent conquerors

Rome?

parthia?

Rome destroyed entire cities

They did have technology but they didn't continue to advance on it because of their reliance on slaves

Sometimes, of course they did

you have to sometimes

I think they were pretty advanced still though. Cement wasn't rediscovered for a long time after the western side fell right?

You don't have to raze cities to the ground

Famous one

Carthage

still the best civilization to ever exist

Third war was completely unfounded

Nope

That's America m8

^^^^^^^ TRUTH

Nah America isn't that great

that's propaganda

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Quiet

Living under an empire would have been easier, I think

especially if you were a trader

Better than what?

That's subjective

USA is pretty amazing just admit it

US doesn't have a strong enough culture to survive long-term

too much diversity

It's a constantly changing culture

We have culture m8

Come here and see

In fact

I live in the US

You probably also engage in our culture

We have state culture

Read this book and tell me how it is(im interested in reading it, but reading too much china atm)

That doesn't mean anything

People only say us doesn't have culture because us culture is present worldwide

11 different cultures in the US? what?

I mean fairly recently

That's the problem

Europe was pissed

This actually sounds like an interesting book.
American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America

Some young kids

It is too internationalist

About American influence

In culture
