As always it's good to follow this rule of thumb: anyone telling you the western empire fell for *one* reason is a hack with an agenda, and should be mistrusted.
At least he didn't blame immigration or welfare etc lol

For what it's worth, Helmet guy is at least partially correct here. Outsourcing their military *was* a contributing factor in the fall of the western empire, although there's like a dozen other factors all coming together.

Are the dems who said we should abandon the transes in the room with us right now? This isn't a real thing that's happening. It's a lie pushed by leftists who hate them.

Yes obviously? You have rules in place preventing developers from making new housing. You are talking about laws literally preventing the market from acting on demand for housing.

Because the lack of housing is mainly caused by shitty zoning laws, AKA regulations that infringe on the free market's ability to provide things to meet demand.

Well, a greatly increased population and fucked up zoning laws that make it hard to build new housing is probably why, neither of which is the fault of capitalism (in fact, more capitalism would solve the problem here)
