These old commercials really cement the idea in my mind that we are a dying empire in our last throes before total collapse. Those 90s ads (without trying) give such a sense of unity as people and culture. Within them is a tangible "America" you can almost put your finger on.
Our ads now give only the sense that the country is merely a battleground full of dissimilarity. Watching our commercials must be like being a Roman seeing his temples torn down and wholly Christianized and his towns filled by barbarians - sure Rome itself hasn't fallen yet, but you can trace the path of the empire
