Going downhill, like a Slinky on a staircase, the empire rolls down almost imperceptibly, until it reaches the floor and collapses in on itself. 

But the empire isn’t a Slinky. It is busy with class and imperial warfare, the few attacking the many in ways more numerous than a short essay can outline. 

Where is the resistance? Where are the unions? 

Even conservative Catholic, David Brooks, has called for a general strike and mass civil disobedience.
