imagine saying there's "infinite cash"

2020-03-25 17:50:08 UTC  

Imagine forgetting what hyperinflation did to all prior currencies

2020-03-25 17:51:11 UTC  

or Weimar Republic...

2020-03-25 18:09:21 UTC  

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

2020-03-25 18:09:51 UTC  

Nothing goes wrong when you disenfranchise your fucking patriots, guaranteed

2020-03-25 18:10:25 UTC  

no, it was just that the value of the fucking denar went down

2020-03-25 18:10:46 UTC  

or whatever the fuck they used

2020-03-25 18:11:10 UTC  

god damn an-cap revisionist history horseshit

2020-03-25 18:11:47 UTC  

there was a lot of reasons for Rome's fall tbqh

2020-03-25 18:13:19 UTC  

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

2020-03-25 18:13:27 UTC  

god damn it, fuck these cunts

2020-03-25 18:14:31 UTC  

and of course its not an actual article, its a fucking enormous Jpeg

2020-03-25 18:15:01 UTC  

because if they wrote it in text, literally anyone with basic historical context could look them up and hang them out to fucking dry

2020-03-25 18:15:25 UTC  

Who the fuck are these disgusting cretins

2020-03-25 18:15:31 UTC  

Visual Capitalist?

2020-03-25 18:15:52 UTC  

Fucking disgraceful scum

2020-03-25 18:16:18 UTC  

this shit is what gives capitalism a bad fucking name in modern politics

2020-03-25 18:16:53 UTC  

They are just making infographics

2020-03-25 18:17:28 UTC  

and I've seen plenty of different views on the fall of Rome, hard for me to say which one is right or wrong

2020-03-25 18:18:11 UTC  

it wasn't some hand wavy "Rome fell because the denar went down" bullshit.

2020-03-25 18:18:39 UTC  

this is more fucking aggregious than the fucking hyperthiest faggots that say the main reason Greece fell was homosexuality

2020-03-25 18:19:24 UTC  

or just apply 'sexual deviancy' to literally any significant political decline of any empire ever, as far as they're concerned

2020-03-25 19:58:08 UTC  

lol @Jokerfaic complaining that its an infographic and not text when they write up the infographic in plain text right underneath it

2020-03-25 19:58:42 UTC  

did they? well fair enough

2020-03-25 19:58:58 UTC  

didn't scroll down far enough before just leaving in disgust

2020-03-25 19:59:47 UTC  

point still stands, fuck these invisible-hand zealot faggots

2020-03-25 20:03:47 UTC  

ehh theres probably a valid point about debasement but its definitely an over simplification

2020-03-25 20:25:39 UTC  

Lol im fairly ancap and even i can go that infographic is dumb

2020-03-25 20:25:46 UTC  

Here is a thing that may shock you

2020-03-25 20:25:56 UTC  

Everyone in that time period knew debasemenet was bad

2020-03-25 20:26:10 UTC  

They were doing it to kick their poor other decisions down the road

2020-03-25 20:26:18 UTC  

because well it works

2020-03-25 20:26:20 UTC  

And just fine

2020-03-25 20:26:34 UTC  

But eventually those other bad decisions pile on top of themselves

2020-03-25 20:27:17 UTC  

Well its not that debasement itself is bad

2020-03-25 20:27:22 UTC  

Its a bad sign that they are doing other things which are bad which they were
