Thomas Sowell: Is America On the Brink of Collapse Like Rome?

1900 both Argentina and South Africa were strong nations. Argentina went bankrupt and had a much harder fall leading to a violent dictatorship and 30,000 people missing in the night Americas debt scares me.

what i dont understand is how people don't actually think its normal that everything has its end, even empires. I don't know when the US will collapse, maybe a decade , maybe 200 years? but i do know that it will collapse , i also know that when that happens it will affect the whole world, those who dominated wont dominate anymore and those who were oppressed will take vengeance and pick up the pieces. US Should have bridged the world together and unite people instead it made itself a target for when it collapses, Ironically it will be the least safe place on earth when it happens. To think otherwise is being a naive person

America is doomed. We've allowed it to happen. Mass illegal immigrants from third world countries, the degradation of law and order etc. Good is now evil and evil is good. I thank God that my life is nearing its end and I won't have to witness the complete destruction of the greatest country in history.

78 different genders? Enough said.

His last advice was so pertinent to the upcoming election. Wake up people.

I agree. The performance of this government, in my life time, gives me no reason to defend it from enemies, foreign , maybe domestic.

The USA isn't an empire

Yes the civil rights movement and act definitely has made sure of the total destruction of America and so sad to watch

We have crossed "GO!", "and there ain't no goin' back!"

The collapse is underway no. In process

Certainly if we continue with the government we currently have and have had for decades

James Cameron interviewing Thomas Sowell. Amazing!

Thomas Sowell is a genius

It took 100 years for rome to fall and wasn't overnight. Rome lasted 700 years before collapsing America, not going to last another 50 to 100 years. The country will be buried in nation debt by 2035 ., 50 trillion or more by then. The tax payers will keep voting crooks into office against their beliefs and economic well, being.

It’s you boomers fault.

YES

LOVE PUTIN.

Negotiate with Russia.

I have been declaring this notion for years: political
I stability; economic issues; attacks at the borders: and social problems and climate change.

We’re getting to the point where I think it might collapse like the Roman Empire

Disintegration of USA is inevitable

Irony? Going to a black man to answer why Amerika is collapsing. We're asking class clowns to lead the future...

No civilization is meant to last forever unless it has perfected justice and peace! And those are ideals that can not be accomplish by force or cunning.

Yep

WW2, The Depression..... Hard times make great men. Great men make easy times. Easy times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. We are in the infancy of hard times...

Thanks to Zionists!

Stop and think .
magic words.

It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think; great advice indeed...

We knew one day ametica will loose world position of super power amercian government cannot think their heavy handedness interference sanctions could go on, other countries have had enough and now they letting America know.

Rome Empire destroyed itself from the inside out...

We are witnessing the same at this moment...

The original, relatively homogeneous Roman society got diluted by the influx of foreigners with different cultures and aims, and lost its ability to fight for its survival.

"Vote harder, kids" -- yeah that'll fix it, Jimmy LOL

when in Rome, tell the Romans what to do 😢

I believe it will with democrats cheering americas downfall while george soros plays the lyre.

America has the power to turn the Doom n Gloom into Boom n Zoom , never bet against U S of A .

The Roman Empire lasted until May 1453, when the Turks finally captured New Rome the City of Constantine. I seriously doubt America will last that long!

Some Roman institutions collapsed, but some were uplifted in the rise of Western (Judeo Christian) civilization: Behold from out of the world crisis, the downfall of Liberal Internationalism and US Maoism, via the decomposition of Cosmopolitan Globalism and birth of 21st century Americanism, in the Hegelian anti-Kantian sense of Causa Sui. Christopher Richard Wade Dettling, American Idealism, 2024

Feminism has destroyed this country and girls just wanna have fun, until their freedom is taken away by terrorists, as good men step aside. Women just wanna fuq the bad guys and emotionally neglect the good man for years, and then all of a sudden expect the good man to defend her freedom when the time comes, when she's been torn up by Chad and Tyrone, which they will replace their model's after they get old and used up . This country will die, right along with the love and chivalry they murdered.

A civilization that aborts its progeny is a civilization in decline...literally!

You are a treasure to your country. I enjoy your dialogues.

Resign is right!!!

I would say take advantage of High inflation by investing in consumer staples like the Rich do

Thomas Sowell is one of the smartest, well spoken and factually honest Americans that have ever lived.

Dr. Sowell, you are top of the list of great men alive today. I am so grateful for your talks and writings and have so much respect for you and the knowledge and wisdom you share with us. Thank you, always.

I imagine, if Dr. Sowell spoke in his educated manner, very few people could follow his thought processes. He has simplified it all for the rest of us.

Thomas Sowell has been a hero of mine for 30 years!!!

Los que destrullo a Roma que la corucion politica la ambicion de poder estados unidos hase lo mismo la hisquierda globalistas es la prediction es El caos mundial

If people do not stand up to the Left, yes it will collapse.

Critical Thinking is a must!

This man should have 169 million subscribers,as a white working class/blue collar British man i wish more people of all races discover this man and his work.
