Sloop and Gav in Europe in reality It's funny. I'm listening to a good podcast on the Fall of the Roman Empire and the last episode was about Briton and Rome because the speaker and author, Patrick Wyman, feels it epitomized Romes' breakdown better than any territory. Within 100 years, Britain went from a thriving and bustling territory with cities and Roman Villas to feudal warlords who couldn't fix the plumbing and remodeling on their crumbling villas because there was no one around who knew how to fix things, even the locals who had grown up under Roman rule. Coinage had disappeared and cities were abandoned. Kinda like Brexit.

Things went downhill when the Romans arrived.

The Ancient Celts couldn't handle the facts that the Romans had hot and cold water. People wanted an easy life.
Plus the Celts were such divs that they didn't write anything down.

That and the fact there are not vast groups of 70+ year olds that need to long hours in Amazon warehouses at$10/hour because social wellfare is practically absent.

They don't even try and hide it these days. regardless, we will always have the Scottish enlightenment, Billy Connolly, The Dandy and The Broons, Jimmy Johnstone and The Associates. Our place in the cultural elite is assured. Wha's like us? Nae cunt.

Social Security does exist for 70+, and earlier if needed. I don't think there are many seniors that are hustling to work in Amazon warehouses. We also don't have the taxation that exists in social welfare states of which many of the Trump voters who would be beneficiaries would also balk at paying for, double bind.
