No, it is not. White consciousness is rising, while liberalism and the managerial state are collapsing.

Consciousness doesn’t mean much when muscle & action are absent, coupled with entropy chippin away bit by bit by bit… 😉

As much as I disagree with the wirtings of yours I've skimmed here... that's true. I always thought that it was a problem with my father and his generation. You already know: the problem of having no balls and thinking the natural history of the world ended just before they were born. Turns out the lack of muscle and action runs deeper, and deeper... all the way to the metaphysical realm of western men.

Will the raising "western conciousness" stop at the tepid, castrated, looped and meaningless secular musings of the refried neocon "patriot" organisations which are best represented by Trump? Only God knows. Not betting too much money on the contrary, although I feel I have to nonetheless... in order not to betray everything that I am on a deep level and what my forefathers were.

You may be familiar with our degenerate cities, but rural America is doing just fine.

Mixed bag.

While the rural areas are more homogenous (for now), they also are beginning to show issues with demography, substance abuse, etc.

Not to mention that these places lack the infrastructure & relevant kinetics necessary to oppose what happens in the dense urban centers in the coming years.

America will eventually emulate Europe... especially when it comes to seeing even their rural areas flooded by Africans & Eurasians.

Albeit, that's still about 2-3 decades away.

Maybe, but probably not ;)

Nothing in history is inevitable. Very often, there are unforeseen events that may change everything.

History is certainly event-driven, but at the same time it also has larger macro tendencies towards certain endpoints. So while I agree that things are 'not set in stone,' in the long run the bigger patterns of Chaos & Entropy win.

While I do agree with many of your points, I mostly wonder about the timing.

I am old now, and as a child of the sixties and seventies when this theme was just getting traction, I now am wondering what the timing will be. Consider the civilizations that came and went before us.

Persia was at different times the Achaemenid, the Arsasid, and the Sasanian.

China was the Xia, Shang, Zhou (Western and Eastern), Qin, Han, Xin, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing

The current heirs to the Roman Empire are the EU, the US, and Russia.

I do think that the West will be heading into an interregnum. Hell, it might even happen in my lifetime.

But you will forgive me if it takes ten or so years to happen, I am not looking forward to it and would prefer it occuring during my long sleep.

The standard down cycle is around 1.5 to 3 centuries. That’s how long it takes for a civilization to fall apart to a Dark Age.

If we start with 1914 as the year in which the Western world began said downward winter slope… that means a bit over a century has passed.

So it’s going to still be a very long slow decline… but this New Dark Age has in many ways already begun, albeit many people refuse to admit it.

Just write this as an essay so that its ideas, such as they are, are there to respond to: “a loop without initiation”? Come on. You’re asking too much of the reader to go along with things like that.

It was written as a quasi poem (with lots of short sentences with ease of reading of course 😉) for maximum emphasis, but there are shorter pieces in the works that will eventually flesh out some of the micro points 😉 so I disagree that this is “asking too much of the reader”… on the contrary, the spacing and sentence structure makes it easier for folks to absorb the basic concepts & contemplate them 😊

Would you say that the Faustian culture has entered its winter or is it still in the late fall? I ask because Faustian culture is in decline and I would say we entered the stage of Civilization around the end off WW2, but that is usually a mark of Fall not Winter.

This is the Winter phase, shifting into the New Dark Age.

This One in particular will last at least a thousand years, given the Romanticism many have for Faustian Technics... I expect (for example) slum dwellers in 2525 CE Midwest, who have access to barely any food & clean water...

Fantasizing about going back to the Moon 'any day now' along with colonizing Mars.

So to answer your question... Winter is in its Late Phase, & the New Dark Age is already here... people simply refuse to admit to it, opting to pursue bygone fantasies instead.
