    empires rise and fall but the fall doesn’t ever make things better, it just changes who is doing all of the exploitation and often makes things worse.

      Well the thing is no empire truly fall. They leave behind, a seed, a catalyst for the next empire. If not destroyed then you’re still in the cycle and hope becomes temporary.

        no, you’re missing the point. empires are irrelevant. you’re thinking of it like it’s some strategy game. it doesn’t matter if the empire is completely destroyed, the heirarchies of oppression themselves will remain - capitalism, patriarchy, the police, the military, the clergy, the judiciary, the bureaucracy, whatever.
