Who wouldn't, the man is brilliant and insightful. An examined life, like Peterson, can be very informative.

Sexist much? Men can't cry without chopping off their cocks and joining team emotional? Real men cry, no gender affirming mutilation needed.

He is a leftist. They mock the other side and defend their own for the exact same behaviors. 

The only honest bone in punch's body belongs to the guy he is sharing a bed with.

I thought about when the implosion began. I believe it began in the mid 90s. This was when the buzz phrases and comments "Truth is subjective," "What's true for you doesn't have to be true for anyone else," "Who are you to judge?" became popular in the mainstream. Once people genuinely believe that truth is subjective and that society stopped judging immoral behavior, then that's when the social decay began. 

Not to mention the serial rapist was president then.
   Began in 1860 with eugenics corporation manipulation and control. Lincoln and various GOP marxist do not properly argue that slaves can read and negotiate their own contracts and can not be partial or 100% animal in USA law. Six hundred thousand die over private slave ownership and mandatory group inclusion but then after the civil war peaceful natives who are busy working their self sufficient >>>>non subsidized<<<< farms are marched hundreds of miles to a camp where 2/3 of the population dies. The natives had the same problem as the former slaves of private owners, they were classified as animals in the post civil war law and owned by a monarchical eugenics corporation group like a crop of genetic modified soy beans. Private ownership wrong, old world styled monarchical commune group murder, death, kill, genocide and theft is right. wonderful representation for favored corporation communes, little or no representation for the individual citizen.

The Roman Empire lasted from about 500 BC to 1200 AD - comparing the US to the Roman Empire, we have until about the year 3300 before we need to start worrying about our demise.

It's not about the length of time. We have technology that makes it easier to speed up the process.

Just saying that when folks like to compare the US to the Roman Empire, we're still at the very beginning of that time line. Furthermore, the Roman Empire lives on in the nation of Italy.  No other nation has ever conquered it.

So....you're saying ancient Rome's aqueducts are analogous to modern America's ******?

Idunno what history book you got THAT tripe from. For starters, as to its beginnings, you seem to have conflated the Roman Republic with the Roman Empire. The Republic lasted until nigh on to Jesus' birth, when the Empire took off. The Empire lasted only five centuries, and was overrun by barbarians and supplanted by a multitude of governments. Charlemagne was likely the most successful of the various tyrants and kings to govern disparate parts of the previous empire. If memory serves me, at his zenith, Carolus Magnus brought under his dominion an even larger land mass than the Romans had managed to subjugate. But I could be way off in that. Not gonna google it because I don't care enough at the moment. :)

That's because you have the timeline wrong. 

The Roman Empire began as a Republic. As did we. 

It became an empire - its citizens, subjects. As did we.

When empires fail, one of two things happens:

1. The republic fails with it - witness Rome, the Incans, the Mayans...
2. The republic maintains, within (or near within) its original borders - witness the UK, France, and Spain.

I have a pretty strong hunch that our republic will fail with the empire and will become a number of provincial splinter groups run by tyrants and oligarchs,
