Why is there the popular perception that Rome fell due to some manner of 'degeneracy' eating away at its vitality?
Especially since the 'degeneracy' actually fell out of favor towards the late Imperial period with the rise of Christianity and the Christian Emperors and the banning of paganism. This is what is most puzzling: there are always Christcucks here who make threads about how supposedly "fucked" modern society is because we're "degenerate" (or some other buzzword) and then proceed to compare us to Rome and how degeneracy destroyed Rome, even though the Empire became increasingly weak, impotent, and even incompetent after the rise and the conversion to Christianity.

Because people want to use the fall of a historical empire as a weapon in modern politics, and they don't care if they're dishonest about historical fact.
That's it.

That's much of what happened. They became corrupt and the tribes rushed in to finish them off.

'Degeneracy' had nothing to do with it, you mong.
