According to our latest discussion, he's of the mind that main reason every Empire has fallen is due to the destruction of the traditional family. Anyone who thinks otherwise or tries to show him why this thinking is fallacious is, according to him, not as well-versed in history as he thinks they should be. Needless to say, that man has been fun to talk to as of late.
Apparently he hasn't changed.
Most would argue that the fall of the British Empire was more to do with WW1 and the massive debt that followed and the inability to manage after that, plus the rise of America as a world player and nationalist tendencies in many of our lands, e.g. India, with Gandhi and Nehru.
Or it could be the destruction of the traditional family.
