The United States of America is not the Roman Empire.\u00a0 I repeat, it is not the Roman Empire.\u00a0 Regardless of iconography, colonnades in front of classically designed buildings and a Latin phrase or two on our currency this is a different empire.\u00a0 Of course, that doesn\u2019t mean that parallels can\u2019t be drawn.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure if I consulted Gibbons, I could find several emperors that were old, depraved, demented and soiled themselves in public like our current commander in chief.<\/p>\n
And one of those parallels is that in a declining empire, the uniformity of institutions and way of life begins to break down.\u00a0 Famously, the Eastern Roman Empire managed to avoid the downfall that overwhelmed the West in the 5th<\/sup> century A.D.\u00a0 There were various reasons for these differences in fate.\u00a0 The eastern provinces were for the most part shielded by distance from the full brunt of the Germanic incursions.\u00a0 The climate itself might have been somewhat responsible.\u00a0 German tribesmen probably would have found the weather in Egypt and Judea a trifle warm and dry for cattle herding.<\/p>\n So, it should be expected that the intentional destruction of the American nation by its mad rulers will have a disparate effect on different regions and states.\u00a0 For instance, California has embraced the self-destructive agenda of the Left with great gusto.\u00a0 Look at how they\u2019ve dismantled their electrical generation infrastructure and the water reservoir system that they depend on for agriculture and human consumption.\u00a0 They have willingly dismantled their criminal justice system and sanctioned dysfunctional lifestyles like drug addiction and homelessness.\u00a0 With such an incredible head start few other areas of the country will be able to disappear into neolithic conditions as quickly as California.\u00a0 Eventually a large part of the state will return to a pre-human state with Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes becoming the dominant lifeform.<\/p>\n But other areas, maybe the Midwest or the South may endeavor to hold onto the forms and trappings of the past.\u00a0 Just as the Byzantines long maintained Latin as the court language and calling themselves Romans in Constantinople long after their \u201cempire\u201d was just the Hellenized provinces of Asia Minor and Greece, so too these areas may maintain the polite fiction that America still exists long after many of the regions begin to diverge into their new cultures and ways of governing.<\/p>\n For someone looking ahead to what their family will be faced with in the next decade or two, there is real importance in either figuring out ahead of time which areas will provide the best places to live or alternatively, adopting a way of life that will allow you to \u201cjump\u201d successfully when the time comes to make that move.<\/p>\n Personally, I think making a choice of where to live is probably the best way.\u00a0 Not that I have a foolproof method for picking the winner.\u00a0 But I think I have a pretty good idea where the losing areas will be.\u00a0 As stated above, California looks like ground zero for catastrophe.\u00a0 Similarly, I think the east coast is also a bad bet.\u00a0 Perhaps looking for places where population density is low and where natural resources like plentiful water, forest cover and a decent climate might be a winning strategy.\u00a0 As far as population density, I wouldn\u2019t count out a whole state just because there happened to be a large city in that state.\u00a0 As long as the distance to where you planned to live was several hundred miles away it might make perfect sense.\u00a0 After all, state boundaries won\u2019t mean much in the future.\u00a0 Geographic boundaries like rivers and mountains will.\u00a0 Western New York has very little to do with New York City.\u00a0 Northern Nevada and Las Vegas are a world apart.<\/p>\n Who knows!\u00a0 Possibly an unexpected victory by patriots will completely reverse the current decline and fall of the American Empire.\u00a0 And then places like New York City and Philadelphia will once again become great centers of culture and commerce instead of squalid dung heaps filled with murderous savages.\u00a0 But in the meantime, consider choosing where you want your family to build their lives.\u00a0 Choose carefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The United States of America is not the Roman Empire.\u00a0 I repeat, it is not the Roman Empire.\u00a0 Regardless of iconography, colonnades in front of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[226,4310,2520],"class_list":["post-29009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-fall-of-the-roman-empire","tag-global-american-empire","tag-red-state-blue-state"],"yoast_head":"\n
