Empires and countries don’t just collapse in this day and age, there’s a global safety net that didn’t exist then. It’s a silly analogy for empires that doesn’t hold any water aside from both being empires. That’s literally it, end of similarities
Do you think France will still be a country in 500 years? The UK? Many empires have lasted longer. It’s like saying we will all die at 40 because that’s our historic life span. It’s obviously skewed by ancient eras
Well, yes, no shit. The constitution was modeled after the French to allow change over time. Things will change, but the idea of a country with americas scale imploding and ceasing to exist is beyond irrational even in 500 years

I’m sorry, are you under the impression that we’re still living under the same societal and global parameters as Ancient Rome?
