I've spent 10 years studying why Rome fell.

There are 7 signals every collapsing civilization shows.
America is flashing all 7.

Here's the pattern — and where we actually are on each one. 🧵

The rebellions are much smaller for the modern man.

William Randolph Hearst fabricated a war and he got a war.

Propaganda is a story as old as time.

"You furnish the pictures, and I'll furnish the war."

William Randolph Hearst may or may not have said that, history isn't certain.

What is true is that Hearst & Joseph Pulitzer likely created the climate that started the Spanish American War of 1898.

Daddy and daughter learning is a lot of fun...

[Jeremy Ryan Slate @JeremyRyanSlate]

Diocletian ruled one of history’s greatest empires...

then retired to grow cabbages.

Some people chase power forever.

Others start a farm.

Would you do the same?

Rome welcomed thousands across its borders with a promise: food, land, and protection.

Instead, corruption and broken promises pushed them to the brink.

The result?
A rebellion that led to the Battle of Adrianople in 378 AD—one of Rome’s most devastating defeats.

History reminder: how you treat people can change the course of an empire.

@AlextheAdm1ral Stages suck, those need to end. Keep the races long.

[Jeremy Ryan Slate @JeremyRyanSlate]

@ModernCeasar They also lost the Mos Maiorum

[Jeremy Ryan Slate @JeremyRyanSlate]

🧵 In 301 AD, Rome's emperor tried to fix inflation by making it illegal to charge too much.

Prices were capped. Merchants who charged more faced execution.

Within a year, goods vanished from markets. Sellers chose to stop selling rather than sell at a loss.

Sound familiar?
