(Somewhat) Fair enough. I was short on time last night when I wrote it, so I didn't have time to go through and edit it like I normally do.
Those sentences, though, are conveying different thoughts. The first is about our civilization's decline and rapid acceleration toward a collapse. The second sentence is about how a large empire's enemies slowly, but with growing rapidity and severity, begin testing the boundaries of the empire, especially an empire in a weakening state like ours. The third sentence is to point out that the foundations of our civilization (the corrupted version of it right now) is crumbling, and is becoming apparent for all to see.
These sentences follow one another. You used three metaphores to say the exact same thing three times in a row.
I don't know if I agree or disagree with you, but I can say I am not wasting my time on this word salad.
