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.

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.

Yes, that's right. She has hidden her lack of wit with a sarcy kind of irony.
And there is a lame photograph of her in the inside cover, taken whilst she brooded around after graduating from her college course in Sexual Politics or some such pseudo what the what all irony snob

A character from a piece of media that is a fan favorite and is seen as funny by both fans and non-fans. Some examples include Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa), Sans (Undertale), and Tohru Adachi (Persona).
My cousin Crump says that he loves Adachi despite never playing Persona 4, I guess that makes him an Irony Character.
