The era that began with Rome’s collapse—“late antiquity,” as scholars call it—holds a hazier place in America’s imagination and makes only rare cameo appearances in speeches or essays about the national prospect. Before, we have the familiar characters in togas; sometime after, knights in armor. But in between? And specifically: How did the diverse terrain that had been the Roman empire in the West respond when central authority gave way? When the last emperor was gone, how did that register in Hispania and Gaul? How did people manage without the imperial system that had built roads and aqueducts, and brought its laws and language to so much of the world?

The historians’ view appears to be that they managed surprisingly well. “It is only too easy to write about the Late Antique world as if it were merely a melancholy tale,” Peter Brown, of Princeton, wrote in his influential 1971 book, The World of Late Antiquity. But, he continued, “we are increasingly aware of the astounding new beginnings associated with this period.” These included not only the breakup of empire into the precursors of what became modern countries but also “much that a sensitive European has come to regard as most ‘modern’ and valuable in his own culture,” from new artistic and literary forms to self-governing civic associations.

Yes, the collapsed cities and industries, the barbarian raids, the looted and smashed art. All quite pleasant really.

libs have absolutely nothing positive to offer. their great vision for western society is for it to collapse and for white people to be replaced by third world monkeys, but the collapse "won't be that bad"

very inspiring stuff

Might the travails of today’s American governing system, and the strains on the empire-without-the-name it has tried to run since World War II, have a similar, perversely beneficial effect? Could the self-paralysis of American national governance somehow usher in a rebirth—our own Dark Ages, but in a good way?

These fuckers have no idea how good the world had it under American soft power. Basically, if you trade with us and help us “fight” communists (really just saber rattle while we fight for you) then we leave you alone to govern yourselves, all the while enhancing your standard of living at our expense by policing the world so you don’t have to and giving you access to a world market. Oh, and if you want to denigrate your supposed imperial masters, go right ahead, because as an “empire” we highly value free speech. If we’ve been an empire since WW2, it’s the most benevolent, selfless empire the world has ever seen.

LOL @ whatever replaces us being anything like that. The Chinese, the barbarian hordes looking to flood the West, whatever thereafter is going to make these fucks yearn for an ascendant America.

European immigration policy is a byproduct of American soft power. A powerful China will not have that kind of downside because China will not be able to or care about exporting cultural ideologies.

"Within 40 years, given current demographic trends, the white population in France and the rest of old Europe will recede, creating a Muslim majority, a French researcher says.

Charles Gave, an economist, fund manager and political commentator, published his conclusions this month on the webpage of his think tank, Institute des Libertes. He writes of the “disappearance of the European populations” as native populations shrink and Muslims continue to exhibit a robust fertility rate."

France will pay ultimate price because of an American run world.

Rome’s end led to the triumph of Christianity, and the rise of the German, French, Spanish, Russian, and British empires. And the Roman Empire survived in the East anyway
