Seeing as they mention America's 250th birthday I am going to mention that the average lifespan of an empire is 250 years.

But also most empires didn't live in the age of instant global communication and endless propaganda power and surveillance.

Yes, I am sure all existing empires will now last until the end of time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I don't mean to say that, but they might be much sturdier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I hope not. But they’re definitely gonna be a lot harder to take down.

Yeah. This empire will last less than Liz Truss's term as Prime-Minister.
