A combination of power diffusion, degeneracy, cultural change, Christianity, and weak leaders. Anyone who tells you it was for one reason alone is not smart.
Because they let in people who could not assimulate and inflation

Christianity and uncontrolled Mass Immigration
No one really knows, but whatever it was, the Jews were probably behind it somehow.
Fags, queers and homosexuals.
>>79783933

It slipped on a banana peel
Endless wars, degenerates, high standard of living = low birth rate.

it literally was solely Christianity tho
>>79784007
Sure thing.
>>79784211
Christianity was the only thing that allowed them to hold on for so long you idiot.
poor leadership and politicians, the division of rome and turning it into east and west, a failing economy and the huns forcing mass migration from germania through rome

The jews made the romans crucify Jesus, and back then God was really a vengeful guy and not an apathetic cuck like he is today.
So it's the jews fault, as /pol/ is a christian board you can't argue this.
Christians were the Muslims of today, their religion was incompatible with Roman culture.
>>79783749
They started relying on a foreign troops who could obviously turn against them. namely people of (((Germania)))

How did Christianity exacerbate it? Not denying it, but I want to know your reasons for that, since the others are all self-explanatory.

the romans went off to wars in far away lands while subhumans moved into rome
>>79783749
Because you touch yourself at night.
>>79784648
Thats the trickiest one imo and the one i am on the fence about. From what i understand Christianity helped subvert the staunch and prideful mentality of citizens into something more squishy and abstract. As a Christian, i wont say Christian Rome was weak, but imagine if the US or the entire western world was fundamentally upturned on a set of core values. It would keep its strength, but all its members would be aware of the fact that the rome they are allied to was built on values they now see as wrong. Christian Rome and the Republic are axiomatically at odds, no matter howmuch power and influence they shared.

It was the Huns and the other Germanic tribes you mong. And to think that it was the drought(?)/polar vortex(?) season that drove the Germanic tribes towards the Mediterranean to find food
>>79786628
but homophobia makes no sense. They aren't doing anything except rooting the same sex because they're attracted to it. Most people aren't homosexual so why the fuck does it matter that a portion of the population are homos.
It was absolutely normal part of Greek and Roman society before they became Christian.

Rome was already declining before the Huns and Germanic tribes arrived.
There's a number of theories as to what led to the decline of Rome. I've read one theory backed by historians that in their Empire period they were essentially a pillaging economy and needed loot and slaves to grow and even sustain itself. They could only grow so much before they ended up in deficit because of maintaining and securing their territories. They slowly had to withdraw on themselves as they had no way to keep things going. And slowly got overrun with people from Northern Europe and finally the Huns
>>79783749
Jealous foreigners
Peek decadence. The values that were tried and true were thrown out for bread and circuses. Even the Byzantines in the closing days were engaged in near constant petty civil wars while the sand people chipped away at their crumbling empire.
>>79787410
the people saying that modern italians aren't the same as the Romans are mostly Stormweenies using references from Nazi Germany when their race "scientists" were producing propaganda to say the upper echelon of Roman society were aryans
>>79787663
>American education
show me the historians that discuss decadence. How do you even quantify how decadent a society is?
Byzantium went into their 200 year period of civil war following the Fourth Crusade which pretty much burned every important part of Anatolia to the ground and brought in a void of squabbling factions. It had nothing to do with decadence.

Before Christianity the concept of patronage (as in, a wealthy Roman sponsoring public works and projects like roads or food services, etc) was common and depended on. It was a way to immortalize oneself (doing good works would grant you the privilege of placing a statue of yourself in your town center for example). After Christianity this was no longer as appealing, as now there were Christian ways to prepare for the afterlife and feel like a good person.

without a unifying identity degeneracy became the culture and eventually made rome weak enough to collapse.

primary cause was the plague that hit them, kind of similar to how the Indians lost North America

>>79783749
Climate change. Literally. For all the faults of their decaying society, they could have limped along for another few centuries. But, the Roman Warming Period ended and the Dark Ages Cooling occurred so rapidly they went from growing olives on the banks of the Rhine to the hordes crossing the frozen river in the summer. To steal a modern quote, winter arrived.

"It was one of several attempts to either intimidate me or attack my character," she said yesterday in an interview after a speech she gave at the National Association of Scholars meeting in Boston. She said Mr. Massie had a knife in his right pants pocket and toyed with it, pulling it halfway out of his pants but not drawing its blade. Mr. Massie denies the allegation.

Mass immigration.
And Jews, obviously.
They were trying to create an EU superstate.
We voted to leave, and the Germans cucked them.
Then the whole thing collapsed and the muzzies tried to take over.
But by that time, the glorious Anglo Saxons had tried to sort shit out.
Thus a nation was born: THE UNITED KINGOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND.

The problem in western Rome with homosexuality became so rampant the government offered huge tax breaks to any couple that had a child.
It wasn't enough.
The birthrate plummeted so low the conditions for citizenship were lowered (less time needed to be served in the legion etc)
This wasn't enough.
It got to the point that Rome began basically undergoing the modern western phenomenon of importing tons of "barbarians" (non Romans) to try and fill the economic and social void.
This, , combined with several other factors, chiefly the corruption of the Senate, religious and ideological upheaval, and (surprise surprise) runway inflation to combat the lack of infinite growth an empire needs (sound familiar? ) left it ripe for the plundering.

>>79798349
yep. the roman legal system prevailed - institutions lived on in the eastern roman empire - germanic tribes adopted Christianity and later the holy roman empire. the torch of western civilization stayed lit. western culture is the greatest the world has ever had because of Christianity and the longevity it provided to societies and institutions. todays euro-atheists threw the torch into the lake. Western Christendom pulled the entire world into the modern era, but only the pious can sustain themselves.
