“When the Roman Empire fell, it was largely as a result of uncontrolled immigration. The empire could no longer control its borders, people came in…and Europe went into a dark ages that lasted a very long time. The point is that it can happen again”

This country is doomed, and the Dems are seeing to it that there is no pulling back.
Poor, stupid, indoctrinated Americans have no idea what’s coming.
No S * it!
I thought it was excessive chariot horse flatulence...
Some of them may have even orated.
Illegal immigrants aren’t responsible for this, are they, Johnson...
His point is undeniable.
When the city finally fell to a Germanic horde, Gibbon wrote that the gate was opened by someone who had more sympathy with the forces outside, than with the people inside.
Whether that detail is accurate, the Western Empire was being overrun by migrant forces for many decades.
There is no question the Empire fell to this gradual takeover, and not to its foreign enemies to the East and South.
When the EU and the Pac Rim States realize they are really on their own what happens then?
“When the EU and the Pac Rim States realize they are really on their own what happens then?”
True to their liberal roots, they will remain oblivious until it’s far too late.
The fall of the Roman Empire closely aligns with the rise of the Roman Catholic Church.
Those turds along with Constantine wanted one universal faith... Happy now? Morons.

Awhile back I read an article about the fall of the Roman Empire. The author listed all the usual reasons. But then he added one of his own.
The Roman Empire fell because the Romans couldn’t conceive of it falling. The Empire was all-powerful, and evidently eternal. Rome simply cannot fall! So there was no need to take any corrective action.
Too many Americans have that exact same mindset today.
Well, yes and no. Rome fell to conquering barbarian armies that they no longer had the ability to resist. Rome still had a lot of citizens, but no one was interested in fighting.
While there are no conquering armies (yet), we are being slowly boiled like a frog. And, yes, lots of people inside the gates are sympathetic to those outside. They think letting them all in, with zero vetting, will make their lives better. It won’t.
The fact that we are offering freebees also serves as a magnet. Even Rome wasn’t dumb enough to do that.
One difference is the Romans didn;t invite the invaders. The west is inviting mass immigration.
The intention is to make the whole world, third world. The leaders make out regardless of the quality of life for the serfs.
Too many Americans have that exact same mindset today.
“Too many Americans have that exact same mindset today.”
Right, it can’t happen here.
Uncontrolled “immigration” isn’t “immigration”. It’s INVASION.
I understand what Johnson was trying to say and he is correct about his situation in Britain.
Rome “fell” for a number of reasons and the situations were not entirely analogous.
After a series of disastrous wars that lead to the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the princepate and empire, Augustus exempted Italians from mandatory service in the legions. Over time, this led to loss of any martial spirit.
You can’t defend your borders without a military so from that point on, troops were mainly recruited from the provinces. A series of Civil Wars in the Second Century, depleted the officer class and ranks of the military so they began recruiting barbarians from across the border as individuals and in groups. Eventually the military establishment was no longer Roman in any real sense.
Here is where the difference between the Roman situation and Britain exists.The barbarians filled a vacuum in the system even though they ultimately filled it to the detriment of the state. The Barbarians for the most part, admired Roman Civilization and wanted to be a part of it, not destroy it. Although Roman and Barbarian society and culture were different, they still had SOME elements of similarity. They were essentially both Indo-European.
In the case of Britain, “immugration” serves no real use.
The people coming in have, for the most part, no real cultural connection to Britain and no desire to absorb British culture or any admiration for it. They believe their culture is superior and are determined to impose it. They only come, again, for the most part, to take advantage of social programs absent in their own countries.
It's theft of services paid for by taxpayers.
The intention is to make the whole world, third world.
Ultimately, the kind of world they want is a lot closer to the dystopias of 1984 or Brave, New World than most people realize.
