Beside Ancient Sparta or some shit, has there ever been a government where the top three most powerful people were all past the point of life expectancy?

Oh, you know, just about every Monarchy, the Church, and most current world powers today.

Governments are fairly new so not much to go on

>corrupt shit from the past
Checks out.

Yeah like that's pretty par for the course throughout all of history. How fucking young are you?

Blame gen x. For real. They've done nothing as a generation. They mooched off their parents through adulthood. Benefited from programs boomers set up and affordable housing and high wages relative to today. And now they bitch about millenials being entitled and stealing their jobs.
Gen X never stepped up in a big way to take control of congress. They're the primary generation behind the SJW movement in acedemia. They barely hold any CEO positions of fortune 500s
The transfer of power will go from boomers to millenials.
Honestly, nazi faggots post bs positions blaming jews for all their problems but they fail to see that gen x let the same people control government while the only few gen x that stepped up went full retard and fucked over academia and the public education system.
Blame gen x.

What aspect of GenX produced that "grunge" attitude though?

Most failing governments are run by very old people.
like Mugabe in zimbabwe. Its because they become entrenched and it is a symptom of decay. Healthy governmments elect 40-50 year olds. Not 80+

The average age of US Presidents at the start of their first term is 56.
Ethan Morris
Alexander the Great was 20 something. Napoleon was 30 something. Even "old" leaders like FDR were only in their 60s. Age 78 in charge is fucking insane.
Jace Morris
My dear look at that pic. Nobody really believes Biden is going to be president. That's a timeline we're not in. The next 4 years with that fucking retard as a president, is something that is not going to be. I actually don't even believe that leftists want him for president.
Joseph Davis
Two of those three have literal dementia.
And the third is a turtle wearing a man suit.
Kevin Cruz
This should have been a redpill for the public during the debates, when Kamala was attacking Biden for segregation shit. Why is someone who was already a national political figure in the 70s still on the national stage?
Henry Baker
life expectancy was low at the time. remind me what age did they all die. nuff said

>Soviet Union voted itself out of existence 1 Saturn orbit ago
Interesting that Saturn is associated with death and renewal and the USSR was the first nation to enter space, the USA the second. Looks like they'll collapse in the same order.
Mason Torres
Life expectancy wasn't low for the rulers though.
Christopher Thompson
Part of the reason the prevalence of geezers in leadership is so destructive is that modern times change so rapidly. We are going to have two consecutive presidents who don't know jack shit about how the internet works, who last took a physics or biology class in tbe goddamn 1960s and that newfangled ARPNET.
Luke Kelly
The equivalent would be a debate in 1970s and discussing Great Gatsby shit.

There's actually a line in that book about the decline of Anglo-Saxons in America. Maybe that should have been a topic in the 70s.

They all will die soon, dont worry about some old kikes...NO ONE IS IMMORTAL AND JESUS WILL PUNISH THEM

This seems evident. The only people who think our Western government systems are worth participating in are all from a time when maybe they did function correctly.

Harry Potter brain.. The young and capable do the work which the old and wise direct. This is the order of things. It is the will of the gods.

Not really. Life expectancy is 76 at birth, but 86 if you reach age 60. We could have two presidential terms of these same geezers in the same roles.
Ian Rivera
That's the will of agricultural gods you fool. It makes sense for peasant ethics to have the old overseer manage the young serfs, but that paradigm falls apart in the information age.
Julian Sullivan
Some Pied Piper has played you right out of the land of reason. Get back to where you belong.
Jayden Cooper
Biden, Pelosi, and McConnell were born into pic related world. They simply did not learn to navigate an environment that is representative of the experiences of the vast majority of Americans, nor do they have the tools to learn how to prepare for the future. These geezers can't even open a pdf file without staff assistance ffs.
