imagine saying there's "infinite cash"
Imagine forgetting what hyperinflation did to all prior currencies
or Weimar Republic...
suuure, had nothing to do with absentee landowning rich elites acquiring more land than they were due and staffing it with the slave labour won by the citizen soldiers that use to own that land themselves
Nothing goes wrong when you disenfranchise your fucking patriots, guaranteed
no, it was just that the value of the fucking denar went down
or whatever the fuck they used
god damn an-cap revisionist history horseshit
there was a lot of reasons for Rome's fall tbqh
fucking listen to this drivel, "hyperinflation, fractured economy" HOW ABOUT YOU STAFFED YOUR MILITARY WITH VOLUNTEERS THAT BOUGHT THEIR OWN RIGHT TO FIGHT FOR ROME THEN TOLD THEM THEY WERE FUCKING BANKRUPT AND COULDN'T EARN THEIR PLACE AT HOME
god damn it, fuck these cunts
and of course its not an actual article, its a fucking enormous Jpeg
because if they wrote it in text, literally anyone with basic historical context could look them up and hang them out to fucking dry
Who the fuck are these disgusting cretins
Visual Capitalist?
Fucking disgraceful scum
this shit is what gives capitalism a bad fucking name in modern politics
They are just making infographics
and I've seen plenty of different views on the fall of Rome, hard for me to say which one is right or wrong
this is more fucking aggregious than the fucking hyperthiest faggots that say the main reason Greece fell was homosexuality
or just apply 'sexual deviancy' to literally any significant political decline of any empire ever, as far as they're concerned
lol @Jokerfaic complaining that its an infographic and not text when they write up the infographic in plain text right underneath it
did they? well fair enough
didn't scroll down far enough before just leaving in disgust
point still stands, fuck these invisible-hand zealot faggots
ehh theres probably a valid point about debasement but its definitely an over simplification
Lol im fairly ancap and even i can go that infographic is dumb
Here is a thing that may shock you
Everyone in that time period knew debasemenet was bad
They were doing it to kick their poor other decisions down the road
because well it works
And just fine
But eventually those other bad decisions pile on top of themselves
Well its not that debasement itself is bad
Its a bad sign that they are doing other things which are bad which they were
