Nonsense.
Civilizations have risen and fallen consistently since the dawn of time, even ones where women were treated as chattle.
We have fallen prey to the same destructive forces that have wiped out world super-powers before: greed, corruption, consolidation of government power, largesse on behalf of the people, and comfortable weakness.
Check out Niall Ferguson’s “The West and the Rest” on youtube.com. Ferguson is a world renowned historian who specifically studies what causes civilizations to rise and fall.
Oh yes, the great expert Niall Ferguson. He’s the same guy who supported all of us wearing masks and isolating while he was sneaking out and screwing his lover and getting covid and maybe something else.
Below is the "Cycle of Civilizations," which is widely attributed to Scottish historian and writer Alexander Tytler:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage”
