Please take our sample poll on polling samples

Related Topics: Western Roman Empire, Please, polling

Hello again. We’re all losing our minds and so here is a rigorous poll that will undergo the scrutiny of peer review. We expect that some in the establishment will seek to hide our results by asking for ludicrous edits in the review process. No matter - these results and the following meta analysis cannot be silenced.

Which of the following is most responsible for the fall of the Western Roman Empire?

  • Over-reliance on slave labor
  • You’d fall if every other day was a holiday, too
  • Climate change forced migratory tribes (such as the Huns) west, causing a chain of invasions that increasingly destabilized Rome
  • Constantine deployed 5G across the empire in order to track citizens which slowly led to mass hysteria
  • The Crisis of the Third Century is what really did it; Aurelian and Diocletian just delayed the inevitable.
