It was an example of why diversity and decadence is a bad thing. The Roman people became too weak/decadent and therefore became too dependent on Germans. But Germans didn't really give a shit about the Roman empire like the Romans did. And so the Germans let it collapse or helped make it collapse while they were supposed to be serving the empire. And then the Western Roman Empire collapsed. The Germans didn't give a shit about the Western Roman Empire because it wasn't German. It was Roman. Nobody is going to care about your people's empire as much as your people. Immigrants and foreign mercs will not. That's just human nature. The Germans who were serving the Roman empire probably saw it as a rotting corpse that should die anyway and be replaced by a German empire. They were just serving the Roman empire for money and power or a place to live(after they became homeless). That's it. Yeah, a lot of Germans became homeless because of hostile invading tribes from the East forcing them to flee their homeland. Because staying would have meant being killed or enslaved by groups of people like the Huns.

And then the Western Roman Empire collapsed and became a bunch of successful German kingdoms spread throughout Spain and Italy. Not a coincidence. Only the Romans truly gave a shit about the Western Roman Empire. Well history is not repeating exactly today but it is rhyming. It wasn't really a clash between Romans and Germans like some people say it was. Because the Roman Empire back then was partially German. Germans were fighting Germans from different tribes on the battlefield while serving in Roman legions. Strange times. It was just the Romans becoming weak and letting foreigners collapse their civilization.

When I mentioned decadence, I was talking about how Romans were kind of liberal back then. They stopped being traditional. The Romans in the West before the collapse were the dark ages equivalent of libtards. Yeah, once people become libtards, the clock is ticking for their empire.
