I have read several history articles where the authors believe that the fall of Rome was due to the expansion of the bureaucratic state and the imposition of rules that strangled the functioning society. We may be witnessing the same thing right now.

I completely believe it. I think we are in transition right now to an imposition of “Plato’s Republic”, which is essentially amoral socialist statism led by the elite philosopher Kings. Remember that Rome based their system on the Greek system. Most of the Roman emperors sent their children to Greek learning centers. It also matches Revelation 13 (the Leopard , with bear feet, lion’s mouth)

” the imposition of rules that strangled the functioning society.”

It is real simple. Judaism is all about making rules. Christianity is all about focusing on two rules: love the Lord and your neighbor.

Soldiers need to leave, get depressed and then cheer up knowing they are moral.

UC Berkeley has five pages of rules this semester about masks at school which is a sign that Judaism is ruling UC Berkeley. Christianity saves people from garbage rules that mean nothing. Sad to see Christian churches push the numerous mask rules which means they are fake Christian. I cannot attend a Lutheran funeral next month simply because I am proud member of the new proletariate: the un-vaccinated.
