“Learn from the fall of Rome..”

One of the many differences between us and Rome is that the latter did not have a death wish while we do. It is called globalization, multiculturalism, PC and the desire for diversity and not unity.

Rome had its own special vices, however some of the ones you mentioned they faced as well. And inevitably the result will be the same

Well said. Some people nowadays seem to think that the Latin motto on our coins, e pluribus unum, should be translated, "out of one [people], many [cultures]."

But the Romans died a similar way in the West. The legions were all foreign barbarians, who had little conception of what Rome was. Birth rates plummeted as morals did also (Constantine slowed things somewhat), and in the end, the Roman people were more concerned about where the next free meal was than with who was running the state. When the final fall happened, it was welcomed by most of the former Romans.
