It is inevitable that a once great power will lose their ability to dominate, yet the amount a civilization falls depends on a lot of things but maybe most importantly the governments. Nearly every Empire has a lifespan of 250 years, about 10 generations, and it look a hell of a lot like we have reached the end of ours, yet there are people still clinging onto delusions of grandeur. Here are the six stages of an empire, where do you think we are? Let me give you a hint, it isn’t THE AGE OF INTELLECT!
1. The age of pioneers
2. The age of conquest
3. The age of commerce
5. The age of intellect
6. The age of decadence
The age of decadence can be identified by the following:
1. Having an over extended and poor disciplined military
3. Widening gap between rich and poor
4. Collective delusion
5. An increased obsession with sex

There is something seriously wrong with the world, where on one hand people are suffering from obesity and on the other there are people starving. There is so much waste in the western world, it makes me sick, and it’s because of this culture of consumerism, people think that they need more than they do and end up wasting the rest.
People should open their eyes, we don’t live in a democracy which is a government by the people. Because if we did, are you telling me that people really want to live this way?! We live in a plutocracy, which is a government by the rich, because only they are phychotic enough to value profit over people!
