Victor Davis Hanson: Mass Immigration and the Clash of Cultures | Ep. 33 | PART 1/2

Professor Davis Hanson is a brilliant scholar I put up there with Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman I love his books

[@stephanies6770]

OR Illegal Alien Invasion

[@Elizabeth-lb2jf]

Finally someone who understands the parallels between 5th Century Rome and 21st Century USA. In having to condense a lot of historical facts, Prof. Hanson left out that the Barbarian invasions started with the Goths entering Roman territory as asylum seekers fleeing the Huns, followed by unstoppable hordes through the broken borders of the Empire. A native Italian, I studied the Classics and have remained a student of History all my life. Twenty years ago, living in Europe, I saw the coming disintegration of Western Europe by catastrophic immigration, and moved to the USA as a legal immigrant. I am dismayed to see this Country now hurtling towards its own demise. When Rome fell, centuries of the Dark Ages followed, with most of the population reduced to helpless feudal servitude, ruled by small elites of constantly warring Lords with absolute power. The West is moving towards becoming a neo-feudal society.

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

I think you are too optimistic to predict a regression to feudalism. Feudalism requires some level of organization. Rather complete chaos, the survivors scavenging in the smoldering ruins while avoiding tribes of cannibals and packs of ravenous dogs. Feudalism would be a treat compared to that.

[@Elizabeth-lb2jf]

@@kaoskronostyche9939 neo- feudalism arose from the embers of the cataclysmic fall of the Roman Empire. The scenario you describe did happen, but the people, displaced, helpless and starving, driven by the need to survive, tried to reorganize themselves by placing themselves under the protection of isolated military men, at the price of their freedom, submitting as feudal serfs to their Lords’ absolute power. That is why Europe is dotted with castles in elevated defensive position, the former peasants’ little houses huddled around the castles for quick escape behind the fortifications when the inevitable attacks came from competing Lords. As life became less threatening over the centuries, they built their houses lower down. Many modern European towns and even big cities have expanded around these castles. Just one example: Il Castello Sforzesco in Milano, Italy.

[@alexdetrojan4534]

My take also. I always wonder what life would have been like for a citizen in Brittania after the last legions pulled out to fight on the continent. Or a rural peasant in Gallia Ripensis watching an endless flow of foreigners pass through his lands. Or what an Italian peasant must have lived through during the reign of Odoacer...I guess we'll find out shortly our version of this Salvete.

We are seeing unity across the West as we recognize that what is happening in our nations is simultaneously happening across Western nations... I see this as a positive sign.

We were the most powerful nation on earth; using past tense hurts. Technically we still are the most powerful but we have no pro American leader.

[@brianjones1151]

Im lucky enough to be a 'permanent resident' from the UK. During conversations, It amazes me on how many American citizens don't know how difficult (almost impossible)it is for people from English speaking countries to immigrate to the US ! ie: The UK, Australia, New Zealand and most of western Europe as examples.

[@jefferytokarsky1930]

… which makes no sense since immigrants from Western countries that have functioning governments can be vetted … and in the case of Anglophone countries, already speak the language. How do you vet an immigrant from Afghanistan (other than those who worked with NATO) or Haiti (maybe baptismal records of Catholics)?

[@karlheinzvonkroemann2217]

The UK won't take white South Africans even when their persecuted there. The UK regime is yet another one that MUST go before it's too late, if it isn't already.

[@contribution741]

@@jefferytokarsky1930 It makes perfect sense if you Google Agenda 2030 Migration. It explains how migration is part of the plan to 'uplift' the 3rd world hordes by giving them a soft landing in their new homes (our countries) and simultaneously improve their countries of origin through the remittances they will send home. It glosses over the commensurate drop in living standards in developed nations. In other words, they WANT to bring the 3rd world to the West. They have no interest in bringing other Westerners in. And WE are going to take a hit so THEY can have better lives. Seriously, take 5 minutes and Google it. It's their official website. I'd like to add that no-one voted for this and no-one wants it. I mean, who the h3ll would agree to this?

But our government is not demanding that these citizens take care of themselves and there families. They are giving them social security, housing, ebt, and subsidies provided by the government. So in new York they are being given s tools, kids centers for places to live, and bringing violence. They are suffering because of all the immigration. Who is paying for all this? Taxpayers? US has no pathway to success for immigration, learning the language, etc. But they are taking from the poor and giving to immigrants. I see civil unrest, resentment, bitterness that even may start civil war like it did in Rwanda. To much pressure on all people or could cause civil disobedience and violence.

I don't mean to pick nits, Victor, but there is a distinction between a citizen and a non-citizen when entering the country. As a citizen, I need a passport and am subject to the whims of the Immigration and Naturalization officer who examines my "papers". As a non-citizen at the southern border, I just walk in and am welcomed. I may even be given a mail-in ballot, a cell phone, and some money plus transportation, including by airline. Plus, as a non-citizen, nobody checks my vaccine status, as happened during the Covid fiasco if I wanted to fly within my country. On top of this, I get to pay taxes for my "privileges" while the non-citizen who entered the country illegally does not. In fact, I am paying for him. The Dems say that this is "democracy" and that Trump would end this "democracy". That works for me.

I'm a southerner by birth , educated in two universities, traveled the world thanks to the US Navy, living 20+ years in Chicago, and married to a Chinese. What just hit me is that this clash of culture is in the big cities, and barely exists in small cities. In small towns, the absolute number of immigrants is quite low, as most prefer to go to major cities, where more of their own people already live. We really do need to control the influx, as the small cities have proven the conflict is more quickly over. ( Hometown Chattanooga being my example.) Voting and social welfare programs are considered "normal careers of local government employees, who are not nearly so openly corrupt as huge city governments (fact). Financial control is much easier in local government.
