Redpill me on the relations between Germanic tribes and Rome,

Assimilation wasn't the problem. By the fourth century the Germanics were massive Romeaboos. They were basically indistinguishable from Romans apart from their language, and even then some peoples like the Visigoths adopted Latin in some capacity.

It was more of a problem of Romans not assimilating themselves than the Germans.

They keep paying the Germans to kill other Romans.

Yeah, kinda always bad. To be distinguished as a strong person you had to go out and conquer. Emperors always tried to prove themselves by attacking parthian Persia and later sassanid persia. Up until hadrian the picts were a target and overall the germanic tribes were often seen as future su jects of rome. That aggressive warmongering doesn't go unnoticed.

>But we Lombards, Saxons, Franks, Lotharingians, Bavarians, Swabians, and Burgundians, so despise these fellows that when we are angered against our enemies we can find nothing more insulting to say than—“You Roman!"
