In other words, in order to defeat fascism, Europe must become fascist. I think European leaders are very much like Don Quixote, fighting their windmills to the praise of the deluded masses.

Yep. And to pay for the sins of Christendom in the first and second millennia, Christians in the third millennium must hand over their countries to invaders from the Middle East. Because fairness demands that everyone must live like Ottoman slaves.

They are fine with Fascism — just so long as they hold the whip hand.

If these people win and impose their vision, it will be the beginning of a new Dark Age.

So I'm reading "Finis Britanniae" and the author goes to great lengths to explain just how little historians actually know about Rome's abandonment of Britain. The main theory, of course, is that Alaric and his Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 AD, prompting Emperor Honorius to bring all the British legions back home.

But the opposite may have happened: Britons may have abandoned Rome because Roman legions were unable to protect them from Saxon invaders.

It got me thinking: 1500 years from now, readers in AD 3525 won't be able to know what happened to Western Civilization in the early years of the 21st century.
