The Roman empire still has a long lasting legacy to this day. There is a reason so many countries have the eagle on their standard. And where do you think the month August comes from? The empire as a whole is looked upon fondly in history, despite being one built from conquest and authoritarian rule, with its leaders still praised to this day.

gargolito@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoEvery single authoritarian in history has fallen out faded away. Every single one. Will you and/or I see it? Probably not, although I hope that we are close to a cusp in history. The pendulum has been artificially pushed to the right, the current status has been built on lies and deceit - it can’t be sustained.

Yeah again: I don’t care if trump will fall twenty years or even a single day after I die because I’ll be dead.
Also, while you’re in the mood of trying to make the world not look that bad: global warming as it was will not destroy the world, we’re a thing sliver, bacteria if you will, in the surface of this world. Earth doesn’t give a shit. What will die though, in a long and painful struggle to the end, is Humanity and you and I will still be there to witness that.
And just to make it clear, this is how it was about 5 years ago. Things have progressively gotten worse ever since. Instead of less CO2, we’ve produced more CO2 than ever because fuck humanity, I want my stocks to soar!
It has already started and warming is just going much faster than expected. Expect more droughts, less water, more food scarcity, soon the wars over the last few resources and livable patches of land will start and soon enough we’ll all be fucked because nobody could be bothered to actually work on a real solution
So yeah, be it through trump and WWIII or climate change, we’re all fucked.
