Don't forget "Capitalism"! Men used to retire from the Legion and be given enough acreage for a small farm. In other words, they could be somebody and not just a drunk with a lot of good stories. But the Elite didn't want to share the land anymore. So the good men stopped coming back to Rome and settled in the lands in which they had served, with their friends, marrying local women.

The Greed Heads can never be allowed to do what they want because they'll destroy everything. The boot must ever be on their neck. Athens (culture) must never forsake Sparta (militant power and discipline)

One time at the Olympic games, an old man couldn't find a seat. None of the Athenians would get up for him. When he got to the Spartan section, all of the men got up at once. He said, All Greeks know what is right. But Spartans do it.

Just back from 2 weeks sailing the Aegean, Adriatic and Ionian seas. We use these old civilizations as examples for today's woes. They are all burned out, earthquaked, tsunamied hulks. Piles of rocks left over from "the olden days". They are all destroyed by nature or even more so by the lassitude of human beings.

The greatest enemy of any civilization is when the people look to the government for the solutions to their problems, instead of themselves. The current situation is the perfect example. Watch and see, when DOGE, deportation and disarming the MIC all start to happen in 2025, the shit is going to hit the fan big time. When the lazy denizens of the cities of the USA start having to fend for themselves, watch out. It really accelerates when the government encourages the dependent behavior by force feeding the dependence. That is what we have witnessed so much recently.

BTW, when people here have mentioned the various people and groups they want to clobber, notice that most are elements of "city-States", like San Francisco, New York. Boston, LA, Denver, and Chicago. San Francisco; Pelosi, Schiff, Newsome; New York; Schumer; Boston: the mayor and Pocahantas, LA; the DA; Denver, my prior home; just name the cartel; and Chicago; just name the crook, the mayor, the DA, or Pritzker.

Sidebar - Who might be a common denominator here? Soros?

Absolute rubbish. The settlers could have never defeated the really powerful Indian tribes on their own. They helped, yes, but when the going got really bad they ran like hell to the military forts - Federal.

You only have what you can keep. And the billionaires depend on the police, army, and public roads just as much as anyone else.
