America Is Falling Exactly Like Rome Did

On this episode of Bag Society, J and S start with a heated debate about Star Wars and Disney's refusal to make mature content for grown-up fans, praising the Acolyte's Sith villain as the best since Darth Maul. But the conversation quickly evolves into a wide-ranging discussion about AI as the next apex predator, the petrodollar crisis, and a detailed historical comparison between modern America and the fall of the Western Roman Empire. They don't hold back on politics either — dissecting Trump's Iran strategy, the Epstein class running from crimes, Netanyahu's playbook, and whether Kamala Harris would have avoided war entirely. The episode features one of the best moon landing arguments you've ever heard (involving Elon Musk), and even conspiracy theories about hollow earth lizard people.
