That's a valid perspective, and certainly aligns with Quigley's theory. In his model, the "decay" stage is marked by internal conflict, declining public morale, and ineffective institutions, which could arguably be seen in the current political climate, both in Europe and the United States. The following "invasion" phase involves the civilization being overrun or transformed by outside groups, which some may see mirrored in the substantial migration movements and demographic changes. However, it's important to note that many factors contribute to the evolution of civilizations, and such processes are highly complex and multifaceted. Consequently, an oversimplified or exclusionary perspective can lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities for positive change and connectivity. It's also worth noting that while migration can pose challenges, it has historically been a key factor in societal growth and innovation.
