WampaLord posted:I'm not a huge history buff but didn't the Roman empire do a bunch of "debt jubilee" type stuff when they were in their decline and went "hey, all debt is cancelled, now go spend spend spend!" As I understand it was literally the opposite. Rome collapsed as wealth became more and more concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, who increasingly cut out funds to the army and its citizens and shrank the Empire to preserve their own fortunes. The "barbarians" that overran Rome were initially invited in under the auspice that a mercenary army was cheaper to keep around then actual legions. This all lead to the army tying to cut them out of the process by picking their own Emperors by hand, which lead to things like "the year there were four different Emperors because they kept getting assassinated / run out / replaced"

pencilhands posted:Many young voters dislike both Biden and Donald Trump and aren't going to vote. A very polite way of expressing this is that some are what are euphemistically called "low-information voters" and blame Biden for things he can't control. It's like: "I read all about the eclipse and wanted to see it but it wasn't available in my state so I am going to blame the president. It's his fault." Many of them have no idea: (1) what Biden tried to do as president and (2) why he couldn't get it. lmao. always wonder with these oblivious freaks if they'd accept this level of incompetence in literally any other profession.

MadSparkle posted:She ruined a Dolly Parton song because she doesn’t understand nuance , she’s so loving boring these past few years I think it went a bit past not understanding nuance, quite aside from inverting the original meaning of the song, she managed to write a set of lyrics with an internal logic that makes the song as re-written contradictory and pointless.

No, jubilees were pretty common in general in ancient days, there are many reasons why the Roman empire weakened over time but one of the main reasons is that their aristocracy hated paying taxes and hated paying soldiers so they were always hard-pressed to defend themselves from the Germans/Bulgars/Arabs/Crusaders/Turks or whoever came knocking at the door.

SgtMongoose posted:The ones with high up jobs like SCOTUS or Congress don't believe that. Not any more than Mitch McConnell thought Obama was literally the Antichrist about to launch Jade Helm Part 2. The "1000 years of Trumpian darkness" is propaganda for the stupid proles to VBNMW. They hate Trump because, first he's an uncouth boor who embarrasses them, and second he's a disruptive outsider to the MIC war industry money train with foolishly unserious ideas like "Iraq was a mistake." Yeah think about how someone would act if they genuinely thought that Trump getting elected again meant they'd be marched off to the camps, and then look at how they actually act. Remember when he was president Trump abused all kinds of executive authority that had been granted by congress over the years with the assumption that only people with great would ever be elected. So now that they know this, they acted to put limits on all those powers right? Oh, no, in fact they're trying to expand the president's authority and give a future Trump even more power. Compare to state level Republicans, who have actual beliefs, moving to strip incoming Democratic governors of every ounce of executive authority they can. And if Trump does win they will probably renew and extend his power to spy on Americans etc And so many examples. Did they address the senate balance by admitting DC as a state? Did they ban gerrymandering to break Republican supermajorities? Did they restore the Voting Rights Act to protect democracy? Would they even consider packing the court? Oh...no...
