    history happens slowly then suddenly

    With how fast we are able to communicate, I’d say it’s likely to happen faster this time around. When the emperor does something that fucks over the populace, they can hear about it within minutes. During Roman times it could have taken months.

      i agree, but its peaks and valleys i suppose. the fall of US empire is still in the ‘slow’ stage i suspect.
