America and The Roman Empire

Vince at Flopping Aces points out some disturbing similarities. Commodus, Nero and the Punk Next Door, or at the Gas Station or in Walgreens…

When most of us think of the worst emperors Roman in history we think of names like Commodus, Nero, Caligula and Elagabalus. To a man they were vain, self centered, bloodthirsty hedonists who took what they wanted and tortured and killed many thousands of Romans and provincials. [SNIP]

Every day in America we see modern day Commoduses or Caligulas wreaking havoc on our streets and in our stores, restaurants, schools and more. Instead of a single entitled Emperor, America in 2022 is being ravaged by a generation of young men – many of whom have grown up fatherless – who have been told that they can do and say anything they want and that regardless of what they do, there will be no consequences for them.

I think it is worth your time for the few minutes it will take you to read it.
