TBF many Roman "accomplishments" were stolen from neighboring, prosperous cultures. Their means of wealth, war, was the means of undoing global cultural stability. The rediscovery of these techniques occurred as early as 1200-1300. For example, building cathedrals and siege warfare. Much sooner than 1600 as stated.
Wanted to add: the Greeks were much more advanced than the Romans. We didn't achieve their mastery of brass instruments until the brass instruments age ~ 18th century.
The author of this bit is completely ignorant of Roman history (e.g., in 1st century BC the Senate was busy murdering land reformers (Gracchii) who dared challenge the elites and suggest that more regular people be land owners and able to grow/own their own. They then manage to skip the entirety of medieval and Renaissance culture. Reads like a rabid inbred whose high school class once included the phrases "Dark Ages" and "Enlightenment" but never opened any of the books.
The Strauss and Howe books on the four (repeating) stages of civilizations are really worth reading. We are clearly in the last part of the third stage, pre-revolution. The elite are trying to alter the course of things in their favor and shape the next stage, where they would rule. So beware revolution, because if they can dominate it they will lead the development to make them kings.
What I hope is that the combination of covid awakening and resistance, and continued election fraud reveal efforts, and Russia fighting the NWO by exposing the biolabs and the NeoNazi regime in Ukraine all add up to progress. If we can ever get to the stage where we have Trump and Putin fighting for us, we will have a chance. In the Ukraine it is a hot war. In America the embedded Marxists are at war against us but it is not yet a hot war with arms but it is an active war to destroy our culture and values and economy. We have to organize to stop that, and probably need extra-legal means to do so.
Now, predict which is the religion that is spreading like a virus in the world? Progressivism, equality. It's a religion.
Just another modern iteration of the equality and brotherhood Christianity taught. No?
That last paragraph is absolute bunk. There was a few centuries of disruption, at the very least. By the 800s, despite dealing with the Vikings, European civilization had equaled or exceeded that of Roman times. By the high middle ages, between the water wheel, the stirrup, the horse plow, sailing ships, and better cultivation systems, and the progress shown in the great cathedrals and castles being built of that era, it had left Rome in the dust. Then the Black Plague hit, and slowed things down for a while.
Where is this from? Just widely inaccurate compared to what was actually going on in these time periods. Like Roman citizens didn't have to work in 1000 bc is just straight up wrong.
the west is going to fall. and hard. especially the united states and canada. its gonna be bad....
Big countries, those that want to be OK will be OK, small european countries are fucked.
no place to hide out and homestead to wait out the chaos.
Chuckles in Eastern Roman Empire
What is this from?
I think just an old 4chan greentext/post.
Stuff like this makes me regret not reading more history; if only I knew enough that I could try and figure out whether this post is truthful.

Nowadays you could just marry your bro to avoid the bachelor tax. Yay gay marriage. Then just continue playing videos games and not giving a fuck.
the internet only guarantees that this cycle will accelerate

Don't know about you, I'm stocking up for some of that 5th century AD protection racket. Bullets and Bitcoin.

We're either in the fall or winter or civilization.
At least we have a couple good years of prostitution and homosexuality before 12 decades of eating squirrels and living in caves.

Last phase, not middle phase.
tl;dr:
An idiot who knows nothing about history makes up some shit and even dumber cretins upvote it.
