gav (nprofile…f6e6) Griffith (nprofile…dw3q) tbh I don't understand what the author is getting at.
Let me give an example: he mentioned nero as an example of a bad emperor of Rome, and indeed he was a bad emperor. But not every emperor since nero was bad and looked like a 21st century american. Yes, Commodus, Elgabalus, etc came after nero but not every emperor was like that; in fact there were many good and mediocre ones in-between; like Aurelian, Constantine, Theodosius.
If the argument being made is that once a society tips it's toes into friedelehe, (as decay/"leftism" is sometimes called in this article) it is going to be an inevitable and continous fall, then I have to disagree.
If the argument is that such friedelehe can do long term damage, some of which may never get healed, and that damage will ultimately lead to the fall of the empire (in spite of good emperors trying to fix it) then I agree.
