I'm seeing a lot of interesting political movements in the world today and I can't help to feel that is likely that a similar thing has happen before.

Maybe we are 20-30 year from something like the fall of an empire or something similar but you guys might know more, so what can I read about a similar historic period to know what to expect?

Things are pretty degenerate today so that might be a sign

The whole west is in Weimar republic mode. So go and read Spengler if you have to.
>Things are pretty degenerate today so that might be a sign
Honestly, was there ever a time when it wasn't like that?

Of course, but I think maybe the deegre of liberties present has been seen in other declining civilizations before. You know how this is we go from one extreme to the other in a few years

Yeah, we should restrict the rights of everyone except an elect few (which you are obviously a part of)

But did they had the kind of liberties we have right now (speach, sexual, etc) I feel that maybe this is more like some older thing

What is this? Kindergarten? Obviously we have to kill 70% of the worldwide population. Just let my family and friends live.

You think sexual liberty is something new? Fun fact: shaved pussies where a huge thing in ancient egypt all up into medieval times. Some prude french queen set the trend that girls have to have hairs downstairs.

Is like people are missing my point entirely, I know this shit is not new I want to know in what other period of time this set of circumstances happened before to get a feeling of what is coming.

Today we have economic prosperity but on a steady decline, world peace but also on a steady decline. Sexual, speech, religious and generally thinking liberties so besides the whole technological things in with part of history all this conditions were given and what was the outcome.
