I upvoted you, but what is up with so many comments here starting with "I mean, "?

I assume that if you wrote it, you meant it.

Hmm, once you mentioned it, I'm not 100% sure why I wrote it. I certainly speak with starting sentences with "I mean", but I use it mostly as a filler?

This is a very glib analogy. Not only was US after WWII vastly different than China today, your view of US crumbling like the Roman Empire did is also unsubstantiated.
