To prevent a crash

Market is generally unstable, there's no meaningful difference between a correction or a recession except whether the trust is regained afterwards.

Trust will not be regained, this will cause a crisis of confidence in the concept of global capitalism, not endgame stuff, but it'll suck.

People don't "wake up"

They get annoyed then a small clique amongst them rises up and takes over then the people say "yes that is what I wanted and supported the whole time" when said clique tells them what to think

The people as a whole are docile creatures who only care about bread and circuses, only when you take this away do you get problems.

And their uprising is barely coherent, aimless demands with no understanding of how things work or what they're actually asking for

Wouldn't because slavery prevented the necessary economic pressures that lead to industrialisation

Large plantations lead to significant stakeholders in cheap human labour not expensive high investment labour saving devices.

Same as the American south

Also they didn't have good enough metallurgy to do a proper industrialisation

The urban patricians had plantations

They could have

But didn't

Not really

It requires a significant investment from the medium to large stakeholders to do industrialisation, you could still have artisanal high quality metallurgy, they did in the high medeival ages

Sure, but the initial investment would never be fielded

Needs to be profitable every step of the way or for someone with enough power to force it through to a seen profitable end

Rome didn't have a seen profitable end and slavery prevented it being profitable short term

Theoretically yes

But you could get a steam engine

Or you could get 10 more slaves

And guarantee a profit

And once you have the steam engine you've developed its limited in use

Slaves rarely revolted either

A large enough slave revolt would do it

Not really, you lose out on 10 slaves and get a single use steam engine

It'd take much much much variation to produce the industrial possibilities we know of

Needs way more investment

They'd develop trains

That could save the empire

Same with long distance rapid communication

And centralised industrial weapon production

Yes

With who's money?

Every wealthy person in Rome had money in plantations or political ambitions

Grand urban improvement projects were populist projects to gain political power

Cheapening labour is the opposite of populism

Steam engine takes away jobs short term

That's the point

It's a labour saving device

Means less labour

It'd require basically a long reigning Ceasar to have a weird fascination with steam engines and metallurgy

No it wouldn't

And before it did that it'd unemploy thousands

Yes

That'd be put down

The patricians would never tolerate it

And would tell the plebs that the slaves will take the pleb jobs

Also job shortages weren't a massive problem in Rome till near the end

There's no plausible way for Rome to do it unless a time traveller came from the future and became Ceasar

And just pushed industrialisation for 20 years

Steam engine was never in wide use during Roman Empire

Yes, common fetish for girls these days.

To play the role of a child being predated upon.

Yes.

Seems to be a reflection of abuse or neglect, want a man to take upon the role of their abuser or absent father.

A big dude with a big army burnt the city to the ground

That's the main one

Rome fell due to degeneration of the people physically and spiritually, and then a series of restorative movements rose up attempting to stop this each failing to truly redeem the Roman people.

I'M STRESSED FEEL SORRY FOR ME OH GOD PLEASE

If you're not homosexual maybe you should try it sometime, you'll probably like it

Troglodyte. Did Reddit give you that insult?

I don't care if it's prime minister's question time, dude's a cocksucker

Ohhh no I'm not going to get the great wisdom of a guy who's throwing out meaningless self defamatory insults.

I'm so scared I might miss his immense cosmic understanding he got from browsing Reddit.

Reddit isn't a place, it's a state of mind, and you're in it

He wasn't presenting positions, he was just preening

Christ you're full of yourself

Frustration isn't a position of debate, it's just an expression of state.
His usage of frustration was insulting others under a pretense of civility, I dropped the civility nothing more.

I didn't deny him anything, if his emotional state is determined by someone calling him a retard on the internet then he shouldn't be on the internet.

He should also consider not being retarded

No I would

I hate preening faggots

If he was presenting my position I'd probably talk to him in private

^

This is true

I didn't tell at him

I called him a faggot and Reddit

There's two possibilities here see.

There's possibility A where I am a massive gub gub retard.

Then there's possibility B where I am in fact too smart for you!

Now........ Which is true is a great question

But one which I think is beyond you ;))) if U catch my drift

Yes how can you tell

Thank you

The democrats had basically no win scenario this election cycle, too divided to pick a true unifier candidate, and Dems always have a bigger concern with turnout.

Man this zanabasos guy is so retarded, he upsets me with his ugly unlovable face and how nobody likes him, it's just so terrible when he opens his massive retard mouth and spews shit

I don't care

You're just a preening faggot

Shut up
