How America Could Fall Like Rome
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- The Jan. 6 Capitol riots were a uniquely tumultuous moment in American democracy. But they weren't so unusual in the course of world events. It remains to be seen if Trump's insurrection marked a peak of violence and political instability-or just the beginning.
VICE News speaks with Mike Duncan, the author and award-winner podcaster behind The History of Rome and Revolutions, about parallels between the United States' recent chaos and other historic societal upheavals. He thinks the worst might be yet to come.

In Italy we like to say, “Rome did not fall in a day”
It's quite tragic to think. Where I'm from we say "Rome wasn't built in a day", possibly because we weren't a part of Rome and had no connection to it. However for Italians, it was essentially your Empire so you say "Rome did not fall in a day".
@@cameronburke8002 Wasn’t built in a day reveals a positive and constructive outlook of the future: hard work + commitment can lead to truly great results.
Didn’t fall in a day is a negative and rational understanding of inevitable weaknesses: many human errors + neglect can collapse any house, no matter how great.
Both are true I think
Amo esa cita, encierra tantas verdades. Saludos 👋
But Italy joined the Nazis in a day.
@@mountopia77 in the end they still both didn't fall in a day
The german philosopher Hegel once said: The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from it.
The only thing you learn from humans is that they don’t if they don’t want to.

An implant to remember the history will go a long way i think
History usually repeats itself...
@@ciaux I’ve read tens of thousands of UA-cam comments but I’ve never read one so controversial. I almost had to report it.
When I think about American decline, I think about about the vast economic inequality, moral decline, drop in fertility rates, drop in marriage rates, single family household skyrocketing, expensive education and a generation of students swimming in student debt, expensive and inaccessible healthcare, crumbling infrastructure, mass addiction, mass incarceration, drop in life expectancy, illiberal political parties, government corruption, corporate consolidation and anti-competitive market environment, tax loopholes, spiritual decay, political polarization, cultural mediocrity and cultural decline, rising suicide rates in young people, wage stagnation, unaffordable housing, poor health and obesity, decline of socialization and more time spent in front of screens.... the list goes on and on and on. Understanding these things is part and parcel for understanding American decline.
this is what I was thinking when first clicked video but its all about jan 6 lol "the worst thing to happen in usa history" gimmie a break
The same points you make here were made in the 1876 presidential campaign nearly word for word... So nothing's changed..
No your wrong. Listen to vice. It’s gonna be an evil dictator takeover
@@alexblack4145 everything this person mentioned is what's going to fuel that sort of takeover.
Either that or a revolution (or perhaps both). If democrats had run a radical leftist, I have a feeling progress could have been made but of course dems don't want true progress or anything.
People get fed up and naturally want change, we need strong organization when that happens. No joke, if BLM during 2020 had some kind of leadership or Party organization, revolutionary progress might have been made.
As tensions rise, as more people are desperate for change, anyone/any party, left or right, who gets to the anti-establishment masses first has a shot of gaining massive power.
All these problems can be solved with the reintroduction of the nuclear family, public shaming of promiscuity & polygamy, & reintroducing physical labour skills into the education system rather than making a push for everyone to go to university
Claiming to be an American patriot and raise a confederate flag at the capitol is wild
but the flag of a terrorist nation is okay
dixie was flag before the civil war to my knowledge. it was used but not originally made for it

@@AM-er3zq it doesn't take a tinfoil hat to realise how much of your country is owned by corporations
Just look at the 65 year old that got arrested in TX bc the company said so.
I remember during the George W. Bush years, people said America would fall like Rome because just like Rome, America was this over-extended imperial power that couldn't stop starting wars. And during the Clinton years people said America was like Rome because everyone was too distracted with wealth and frivolity. And now people say America is like Rome because there's too many problems with domestic political institutions. I feel like this is the metaphor people keep updating to describe whatever the status quo happens to be. It's a question no one ever wants to give a hard "no" to, because basically any society looks like some version of Rome from some angle.
Yoooo JJ! Great videos my dude.
All those problems, have always been, at the exact same time...
Based JJ
But the difference is the public's opinion of the elections and how they respond to election. The insurrection at the capitol was a disastrous moment for democracy and the trust in the election system.
You only covered a period of about 30 years there, Rome was in decline for 50. In the lens of history, Bill Clinton was President yesterday.
Our response to the pandemic is enough to show that this country is literally at risk of crumbling apart at any given emergency. Something *NEEDS* to change.
The fact you use words like pandemic is beyond scary. Repeat after me! It was mass murder! Stop being a donkey.
Our education needs to change
*non-emergency.
The problem is that the necessary next step in human evolution is communism and the USA is dogmatically opposed to such a thing.
"A house divided against It's self cannot stand"
We have a saying for that here in Pakistan; "No matter how tall a tree grows, if its roots are not entrenched deep enough, its destined to fall".
True I agree with your statement but Unfortunately Pakistan has never been a tree it's always been a back water for large empires maybe one day they may have a chance but we shall see 👍 (but I doubt it when they are practically sugar daddied by China)
@Benjamin Franklin lol Trump is best that happened to you,time is already showing you.
@@zachrazak3259 I wouldn't say "Sugar Daddied," Pakistan has always been allied to China since 1950. The economic situation in Pakistan has unfortunately made it tied to China, for better or for worse. I think the Chinese-Pakistan alliance is a great decision for Pakistan (considering their proximity and Chinese economic growth in all of Asia). If only we could take care of the corruption in our government and terrorist groups, we could finally focus on developing our country.
Wise words indeed
@@smith2354
You would have to be quite naive to think that China have done this from the good of their heart they have basically lent Pakistan loans knowing for well that Pakistan will default, therefore Pakistan have to swear an allegiance to them (political pawn). Therefore the sugar daddy relationship has taken effect.
Rome took decades to “fall” it was not a single event
By that time it had moved to constantinople and endured another 1000 years.
... but Rome is still around. There is always more than meets the eye ...
It started on September 11th, we’re crumbling more and more every year
A power taken from the people to be given to a few individuals, yeah.... a recipe for a dictatorship. Rome move from a republic... to an absolute monarchy. Look at what happened if you give too much power to politicians of house democrats and house republicans.
their christians are still around when they took power and killed their choosen leader... and their choosen people through the centuries, even now.
Im 62 and its scary how much this country has fallen just in my lifetime.
U.S inflation hit 7% in December, fastest pace since 1982 . Consumer prices in Germany rose by 3.1% in 2021 . France shows a 12 -months inflation rate of 3.4% the highest since September 2008.
American workers are experiencing unprecedented declines in their real incomes, which is why record numbers have been forced to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. When we talk about 9.1% inflation, the media acknowledged the true rate of inflation of about 18%?
It's going to break to the downside because of the macro economic conditions. It will not recover until the US inflation rate starts to come down. Right now, crypto derivatives trades are the only thing in my portfolio that is doing well and making me serious money.
the severity of the condition of our economic circumstances is beyond many peoples comprehension and many continue to deny its existence.People are working and there is little or nothing to show for it. everybody is basically working to sort out one bill or the other. no savings.
My little advice, we need to prepare for the future we need to look into safer investment with good prospect . If you have the mindset of investing 5 years ahead and just keep DCA every time you get paid.

Makes me think of a quote by Oscar Wilde.
"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."

I respect this this video and your take on it. The sad thing is everything u said could happen is kinda happening in so many ways,its just the ground work is being laid .You have one side that dislikes this side and this side dislikes the other or should i say hates eachother. Now there is good people on both sides and people in the middle.But information travels so fast and by the time it reaches you its already out dated and new info is being echanged,but also there is a echo chamber effect and we have very little time to process the old data and new data.Also everyone and thing is to the extreme anymore,sometimes that is good,alotta times its not and right now its destroying us. I hope we all can find the common ground and keep growing for the better. Embraceing new and good ideas and respect are past and honoring are past,and yet do are best to learn from are past failures and evils and not repeat them and to write the wrongs. i belive that deep we can be better and live in some kind of peace with each other. But as of right now we are head toward a fall, But hope we dont. Respect and peace to all
Either we need to split up to heal, or we need to abandon all parties and have new ideologies that arent created yet. Every single party and ideology is corrupt and tyrannical.

One of the major contributors to Romes decline was inflation. Rome was, at the beginning, a Republic. It transitioned to an Empire under Ceasar.
The founders mistrusted Democracys, because of the strong tendencies to decline into Mob rule. As a check to balance the Democracy, they created the US as a Republic.
A Republic requires that its citizens be well informed, engaged in their governments, and behave in a manner that indicates that are Sovereign, and responsible to manage themselves for the greater good.
America has and continues to decline, and is Sloughing Toward Gomorrah.
Back to Rome and Inflation. Rome itself, did very little to support itself. As their armies went about the world, conquering, taxes were brought into Rome and this is what supported Rome the city.
Over time, Romes money was devalued, and went from gold, silver, copper to tin.
Forgive me if I have the sequence wrong.
America too, is in decline as a world power. We no longer export much, we r no longer manufacture much, and our money has been devalued since Nixon I believe, took us off either the gold or silver standard. Our money has very little real value, as it 'floats' in value day to day. Impacted by daily events.
Coronavirus pushed inflation to the edge, Now if russia does go to war with ukraine, then i think thats a major blow to us and we will be on rapid decline from there where the stupid rich get too greedy and collapse themselves
@@brandonmora4611 on top of that countries like iran and oil rich countries are starting to sell their oil everywhere it will be just matter of time usa will unless they really change their ways.

Not under Caesar but after the death of Julius Caesar. The Empire began when Octavian, also known as Augustus Caesar came into power and became the First Roman Emperor.
Every time there’s a trial with national coverage I’m convinced we’re sprinting to our demise.
We're already reflecting the downfall of Rome in a major way, especially the way that entertainment has more and more become a staple of our lives. We love movies and TV shows, we idolize stars, and The Learning Channel has shows like "Honey Boo Boo" on it because it gets better ratings. Not to mention our obsession with sports. In Roman times this was called the "bread and circuses" era. They kept the people placid with entertainment, basically, while they became more and more corrupt and did their evil deeds in broad daylight while the people were too distracted to notice.
One interesting comparison is that in the final days of Rome celebrity chefs were huge stars, we have entire networks dedicated to them.
great point Rome had a lot blood on it hands in same way America dose that they fall china will happen as well to every country's that has stole land and conquer it will fall but question is not if but when
I agree with a lot of what you are saying but a huge difference between the roman empire and the united states is that the USA has a free market system in which people make entertainment for themselves and provide something else in return for each other. The roman entertainment in the roman empire was greatly dependent on both initiative of the people and the government itself. In nowadays USA, most of the events that are organized are from profit organizations who do not have any interests in corrupt politicians.
I totally agree, this has to be the dumbest society in history.
People have said this through the generations as technology improved.
The fall of Rome happened over centuries, but what I think a lot of people don't realize is how quickly it's going to happen here. The modern era allows instant communication and that means things are going to build up quicker, organize quicker, and catch fire quicker. We don't have centuries of decline left ahead of us like Rome did, we're going to be lucky if we have another decade. I really think things are going to come to a head in 2024 - 2028.

Not true
The most America thing you can do is to confidently compare America as the Rome of the current age 🤣
This is what happens when u focus on social issues and give everybody but the average citizen any power or say.
I hate when experts validate my preexisting paranoia.
For real.. i been thinking that we are heading to bad times (worse) for a while now...
Its coming..
For real, I know it was not going well but woooo boy. It's bad.
Thanks for that😂🤣😭
“Experts” lol you mean Podcasters
What experts? You watched vice “news”
got to keep those enndless wars going.
If you've been worried your entire life, then be worried, don't change. If you've been poor, sad, tired, etc. This isn't the first time the universe has created you, and in the threshold of your variations, it's best to accept what you are and where you stand.
I think lack of emphasis on stability and lack of social trust also impacts this too.
Who the hell are you?

I legitimately just finished binging the history of rome podcast and I couldn't help but keep track on how many different ways America parallels Rome
Everything parallels Rome
America is great = Rome is great
America is powerful = Rome is powerful
America is cool = Rome is cool
America will last forever = Rome didn’t

This is very true and sadly its not US exclusive.
Everytime a politician ignores bad behavior because its his own party or because it will benefit his party we get a step closer to this scenario coming true.
Yeah, the left excusing the burning of American cities has gotten just a little out of hand there

I think this title should be “ How America Will Fall Like Role Rome”.
America is robust. We have a unique ability to come back from tough times, and this is nothing compared to what we’ve made it through before.
More like how America already fell like rome 😂
@@thevillainist667 I do want it to happen
America is slowly crippling thru the drug war. The foundation is horrible killing natives off for land & deporting mexicans. All native, mexican are indigenous to these lands with more birthrights than foreigners.
@@pikajuan7108 no one has birthrights
America is more like cathrage and Britain is rome
Your an wrong It’s the establishment. Period
"could"? more like,"IS"
the collapse of Rome wasn't overnight, it was a process (and the same goes to the British, Ottoman, Spanish, and all other empires), and the US is already on the early stages of that process, but it is a process that will take decades and perhaps even over a century
still, looking forward to the final gasp of US imperialism, finally may the global south be free
"gLoBaL sOuTh wIlL bE fReE" sure buddy I think you have lost brain cells when you didn't realize another empire will rise.
Moment US is gone from South America and Central America is the moment the Europeans and chinese come running
@@ramanpreciado2241 He just wants to be in that Empire. It's human nature. Those on the bottom want to be on top. Those at the top, want to stay there. So they divide the bottom and middle by causing them to fight each other.
Nothing new here.
Would you rather have the world ruled by the Russians or the Chinese?

The republic fell long before Rome....
Rome never was a democracy
America has been practicing democracy, let’s hope that the America and the western world learns a lesson from this experience and we begin to become a Democracy.

Back when I was in school around 6 or 7 years ago I was beginning to draw parallels between the fall of Rome (which I had to do for an assignment) and modern America. It's interesting to see how it has spread as a conversation topic

"fall like rome" Roman empire in 4th century to end never called themselves imperator (commander) and princep (first citizen) but called "dominus" means lord and master or lord/master
How America *is* falling like Rome"
Fixed the title for ya!
Calm down the turmoil you're seeing now is the same as with 1960s with civil rights race riots dems vs reps blocking each other marching protests in Washington assassination heck its even worse with the draft in vietnam and loud conservatives but did it collapsed like Rome? No they even went to the moon in 1969
His whole point is it isn't. His belief is it's becoming more autocratic. That led to the height of Romes power. When Rome stopped conquering and tried to consolidate the west went bankrupt and collapsed due to repeated invasions and unrest.
@@inigobantok1579 The US is in a crisis. Cultural Revolution wasn't really a crisis.
@@NashHinton what cultural revolution that was in China and killed 20 Million people from 1966 to Maos death in 1976 again look at the 1960s especially from 1965 to 1968 probably the most turbulent time in American history
@@inigobantok1579 I meant consciousness revolution.
America been fell and hasn’t been the greatest in a long time. And as I use to say as a kid every great empire falls just like Rome Egypt the kush Mongolia and so on
The fact that everyone that entered the Capital did not get a ten year sentence speaks to the reality that Rome no longer exists.
Or the fact that Trump is still a free man AND able to run for President again.

This is exactly the way it’s going here. I just hope we split the country into a few smaller countries amicably before the war, extreme unrest and civil collapse pops off.
the west has fallen
Billions must die
And that ladies and gents is the view from a liberal democRAT
Fall of rome was not one night event, it was a period of 100s of years of degradation.
Exactly
So far it's been decades since america began it's decline thanks to the bourgeoisie.
Except we will most likely run out of resources to fuel our war hungry armies in less than a 100 years. We go through much more resources than we every have in history and when they run out we will have to resort to other methods
@@musicrevelation2023 I never said USA will fall in 100s of years. I just said people should not expect it to fall in one night.
I expect to see "fall" of US in my lifetime, probably at some point in next 50 years.
@@Tribalpotato I understand forgive me on that part, I do agree with America falling in the next 50 years unless we can stop constantly wasting money and constantly go backwards. What I mean is, if one president does something the next stops it and then start anything project and it seems like nothijg gets done but wasting money and starting wars lol
