In the case of Britain, “immugration” serves no real use.


Aw, come on. It is used to increase diversity for the sake of....well.....diversity.

Actually, it is to bring in people who will vote for a living. And, once a single party takes over, voting won’t be necessary.

He should also mention toxic masculinity. The barbarians had more of it than the Romans by that period. (Of course the Romans had plenty of toxic masculinity earlier.)

-- The Elites don't want a bourgeoise middle class. --

Keep it (the wealth, power and control) in the family.

Congress is content to have "Plantation America" just as long as Congress gets to keep control - in other words, the meaning of patriotism changes to suit the leaders, not the population. You like your country? You can keep your country! (in name only)

Lots of inevitablity involved, on account of human nature doesn't change.

About 15 yrs ago, a relative wrote a doctorate on how the world would be a better place if there were no borders, in fact, no separate countries. I think people were expected to police & govern themselves. This is not one person’s idea or opinion. This is what the Left really wants - one world, one people.

...which was the result of the decadence of Roman civilisation,

...a decadence which led inexorably to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

The warning is there. The West will head it or will experience the fall of Western Civilisation.

Look how the the UK’s largest city has already fallen to one of the STABBY HEADCUTTER INVADERS.

The working poor also cannot acquire enough wealth to compete with them in business.

Not just the left. All the various political tensions are contrived - tools for the powerful who are above all of it. "Left v right" is theater to convice the masses thet their point of view is involved in the planning, sharing of the wealth, etc.

Accounts I first became aware of trace back to Adam Weishaupt, 1776 or thereabout. I figure the "want to rule the world" plan has always existed, the only question being which edition is in play, today.

Kings always have an issue with keeping the population under the thumb, not too restive.

Bible has somehting to say about one world government too. It's going to happen.

That immigration followed the expansion of the empire and in that expansion taking into its military ranks men from the European lands it - the Roman Legions - occupied.

It is to me very likely that minus the expansion of the Roman Empire north of Italy, Iberia, Greece and Anatolia, the conditions for the later mass immigration into the empire might not have occurred. However, instead of the empire falling from within by mass immigration, it might have fallen later due to formal war with a Germanic based empire spread out all along the north of it.

The Roman Empire fell because it was no longer a “Roman” empire but had become a multinational empire ruled over from Rome, the center, and then over time the center could not hold.

The idiots don’t recognize the damage their policies do until it’s too late for awakened voters to clean it up.

Yeh, the empire was already in decline, was split between east and west. The Legion was over extended. General population was tired of endless wars, more.
Does this sound familiar?

Horse Crap. Blame the Christians. Read “City of God” by St. Augustine and learn what really happened.

In 535 AD The Krakatoa volcano erupted so violently that it blotted out the sun for a few years. It was responsible for the term “dark ages”. The Holy Roman Empire existed around a series of communal grain coops. After Krakatoa erupted grain crops failed, and the remaining coop grain soured. Large portions of the indigenous population died of starvation and plague. Middle eastern and steppe tribes lived on cattle, sheep and goats, ruminants which can survive on un-flowered crops. They moved in to take over territory vacated by the Holy Roman empire.

A bit of a distinction between invading armies and wetbacks

End result is a convulsion of the existing order

Rome simply lost its territories in Gaul and it’s firewall at the Rhine collapsed and hence the Germanic tribes just keep filtering further south and west

By the time Rome fell it was almost just a city state rather than an empire

Constantinople on the other hand lasted a long time

Barbarian invasions, Boris, barbarian invasions.

And yes, that is what is destroying civilization today.

Paging Captain Obvious.

Of course a society and its culture are going to be aligned with the majority of the race of its population.
