The exciting sequel to last week's episode. Introducing crank intellectual Brooks Adams and his epic work The Law of Civilization and Decay, we take our time machine to #ancientrome, #thecrusades, and anywhere else we feel like in European history. Building from part one's attempt to define what politics is, this one is about why (and how) it went away. Follow @birdfanzines on twitter, maybe send him some new memes for his collection.
