Modern day Visigoths are rolling civilization back around the world and have leftists and liberals helping them.

Shouldn’t insult Visigoths (Western Goths) so much. Yes, they sacked Rome, but later they settled in Spain, embraced Christianity and adopted the local culture & language. Goths & Vikings both were renowned for their ability to assimilate into the lands they conquered. In France they became Normans, and in England they became English.

Visigoth Spain was a flourishing Christian kingdom until the eighth century when it was conquered by the invading Moors.

In fact, `modern day Saracens’ might be a better analogy. Muzzies are trying to conquer the world & impose their savage ways on the rest of us, and they refuse to assimilate.

You unfairly besmirch the Visigoths in your comparison to deranged Mexican gangs.

Sure the Visigoths are famous for sacking Rome. However, they did that after the Romans treacherously murdered their leader and massacred tens of thousands of Visigoths. Theirs was a reasonably just and openly declared war against an utterly corrupt empire.

I am inclined to say that the Huns would be a better selection of a barbarian tribe from antiquity, but fear even that would be unfair to Atilla and his crew. The Mongols’ brutality resembles that displayed by worst Mexican gangs, and vastly surpasses it in terms of scale, but they didn’t show up until well after the Roman Empire had crumbled.

As things stand, none of the Mexican gangs have a leader with the leadership skills of Atilla or the organizational skills of the Khans. Heaven help us if one should arise.
