Never studied Rome; have studied plausible modern collapse scenarios.

Once folks get hungry they’ll turn into animals. The worst of the worst will be LEOs becuase they are armed and trained.

And rome threw Christians to the lions too to keep the human eater entertained

And of course we all know how well the roman empire finally turned out - once the ability to support consumers over producers fizzled out.
