00:00
Every empire looks invincible until it collapses in a weekend.
00:03
The Soviet Union, a nuclear superpower with 300 million people, collapsed in three days
00:08
in 1991.
00:09
The Ottoman Empire ruled half the world for 600 years, gone after one war.
00:13
Even Rome, which ruled for a thousand years, vanished under its own weight.
00:17
Empires don't fall because they're weak, they fall because they think they are too
00:20
strong to fall.
00:21
According to Ibn Khaldun, a sociologist, nearly 700 years ago, societies rise on strong social
00:27
unity, but fall when luxury, corruption and loss of values hollow them from inside.
00:31
A reminder, injustice never lasts forever.
00:34
The map always redraws, the invincible always cracks.
00:37
So if you feel powerless against an empire today, just remember history.
00:41
Power doesn't last, resistance does.
