Yeah, that’s called capitalism. The greed, the stripmining, the destruction of anything of artistic or moral value for a few penny’s on the dollar: that’s how capitalism is supposed to work.

Good story, didn’t know. Lovely look behind the corrupt scenes. However it is more than 4 years old. It’s undoubtedly still relevant and ongoing in one way or another, but it’s not breaking news.

- Comment on Was the fall of Rome this stupid? 2 months ago:
First of all, it’s beautiful you want to remember your late historian friend by learning more history. Kudos!
The fall of Rome is a deeply fascinating topic and it doesn’t disappoint in scale, complexity and nuance. Even the house-in-disrepair analogy doesn’t necessarily work, because in many places no one ever even realised something had fallen - though in other places they surely did. In 476 CE, typically the date we use for the fall of the western empire, no one at the time thought anything was more substantially wrong than anything that had happened over the preceding 200 or so years.
This podcast, also by an historian with a PhD on the topic of the fall, delves into all of it. The literature, the archeology, from the large political structures to the lives of individuals. Highly recommended, again.
- Comment on Was the fall of Rome this stupid? 2 months ago:
Not sure what you mean by ‘this stupid’, but in general: no. It was a complex process that unfolded over centuries and in different places in different ways and at different speeds. The reasons were economic, political, climatic, cultural and military.
For a really well done deep-dive, I can recommend the Fall of Rome podcast: www.podbean.com/…/The-Fall-of-Rome-Podcast
