irony-of-empire

The phenology of an empire needing to continuously expand its borders AND impose racial segregation on its subjects.

As the empire grows it runs out of capital to continue expanding.

The empire then allows racial integration in order to free trapped capital within the empire.

This ends the empire in a 300-year timeframe.

The irony-of-empire paradigm argues that racial integration is an attempt by the empire to free capital to fund expansion in contrast to an altruistic attempt to become more just.

It indicates that empires fall to the laws of capitalism more than any contrapositive external condition.

When someone tries to pretend they were being ironic, but they meant exactly what they were saying. Often a tactic of bullies and fascists who claim they were just making jokes and having fun, but the intent has nothing to do with having fun.
