Yeah, isn’t there some philosophers somewhere that suggested that as something happened already it was impossible to happen again? Empires do collapse though and Hedges has been covering some doozies. He’s made some interesting assessments of where he thinks we are along that timeline. Inability of ruling classes to govern effectively, a retreat into their forbidden cities, the populace being offered propaganda in exchange for beneficial policy, etc... Time will be sorting that one out for us, I guess.
