In decadent societies of the past, the authorities didn't open the gates to hostile nations and ban opposition to this as intolerance and barbarophobia. What we are dealing with in the modern West is not merely decadence; it's one of the greatest betrayals in history.

This statement is very uninformed.
In the year 258 AD, during the
Crisis of the Third Century, the West briefly seceded from the Roman Empire among other reasons because of a growing discontent as Rome was pulling out her Legions from the limes Germanicus which was under the constant hostilities of the Alamanni, to protect the East. Another source of discontent (and ignition of the crisis) was the increased employment of "foreign" (Barbarian) labour in the form of troops.
And the same in 376 AD, when the same Goths who had previously sacked Byzantium were helped to cross the Danube, into the Roman Empire, with the intention of using them as auxiliary troops. Later the Goths sacked Rome.
Forget for a moment that these were military recruitments. It was, after all, the major "industry" at those times. Those were followed by others, until 406 AD when the Rhine froze and masses fell upon a weakened Empire. And from that moment onwards the flood was unstoppable. The West would never be the same again.
