  • There’s no polite way to say it. He’s not very intelligent and has a poor grasp of the information that would lead you to see that they’re effective.
    If you don’t trust the government or establishment and you don’t have the capacity to evaluate evidence, then anything the government or established medical system says is good must be bad.

    The most charitable explanation is that he, admittedly, had a worm eat part of his brain.

    You can find reasons that people could be pushing vaccines that don’t do anything, but that doesn’t mean they actually are doing so.


  • Oh absolutely not. The collapse of the Roman empire took decades. If you limit it to the western Roman empire it started in roughly 375 and took 100 years. If you look at the full Roman empire, it took from around 375 to 1450, since we sometimes like to pretend that the Byzantine empire isn’t just part of the Roman empirecthat spoke Greek more than Latin. (They called themselves Romans, were called Romans by outsiders, and it was created when an emperor split the empire to ease regional management, and both sides viewed it as still being one empire).
    Beyond that, the Roman Republic lasted for hundreds of years before the empire.

    If we assume the US will follow the same pattern as Rome, we still have centuries of political upheaval, dictators, democracy, splits, unification and odd hats to develop before we’re gone. You’ll also get weird relics of our government scattered across the world, as places that get pulled into the downfall try to pick pieces up to gain some of the legitimately for using the name of the US. Something like Canada, shattered by a flailing empires attempts to exert control, sees Ontario promise protection to the supreme Court in exchange for ruling that Doug Ford is the new president of the US to legitimize the Ontario-Manitoba alliances seizure of US nuclear weapons in the upper Midwest and taking the seat on the security council. 2000 years from now the supreme Court will still be around issuing legal decrees that staunch believers will strive to live by, even though the government it came from is long gone and DC is just a weird city with insular backwards laws distinct from the surrounding nation(s).

    Most of the collapse of the empire was filled with normal lives for the people in it, so that’s something to take heart in at least.
