Listen "Pride Before the Fall?"
Episode Synopsis
The podcast episode on 'The Leftish Agenda' explores the parallels and differences between the United States and the fall of Rome. Host Eddie covers various aspects, such as political instability, economic challenges, military overreach, and cultural shifts in both societies. The episode emphasizes that while both have had their share of political divisions and leadership issues, economic inequalities, military interferences, and cultural changes, their approaches to these problems have been fundamentally different due to distinct eras and societies. While Rome had to navigate these challenges in its peculiar historical context, the U.S. does so with advanced technology, strategic alliances, and more robust political frameworks. Eddie concludes by encouraging listeners not to view history as a doomed repetition, but as a potential source of lessons to help shape a more inclusive and engaged democracy.
