>Recently the most important contributions to the development of the mathematical models of long-term ("secular") sociodemographic cycles have been made by Sergey Nefedov, Peter Turchin, Andrey Korotayev, and Sergey Malkov.[4] What is important is that on the basis of their models Nefedov, Turchin and Malkov have managed to demonstrate that sociodemographic cycles were a basic feature of complex agrarian systems (and not a specifically Chinese or European phenomenon).

This is to say, the one race, the human race.

I think the decline is inevitable.
That said, maybe a start would be something like the communities mentioned in "Why Liberalism Failed" or "The Benedictine Option".

>communities
That's illegal and racist.

That liberals would try to ban them is the greatest weakness of that idea, indeed...
They would likely argue that any alternative to nihilism is brainwashing.

Hungary and Russia are welcoming white families from Germany, UK, South Africa. Russia is giving away free farmland.
Japan wants to repopulate its countryside, not sure how open they are to white immigrants fleeing insanity.

Russia is welcoming non-white families too. Whites in Russia are becoming a minority.

>Whites in Russia are becoming a minority.
Not really. Russia got more whites from the conquest of Crimea / war in Ukraine. The birthrates are slowly increasing among whites and decreasing among non-whites. The largest muslim groups are white as well, Tatars.
As for the East, I don't really see Chinese DNA as a problem for success.

I’m reading this right now and it seems kind of silly

I understand the reasoning but I think the cycle could easily break or go in different directions at this point. The development of technology has for sure changed or interrupted the cycle

Is this book actually worth reading?

>mfw people only read Decline and forget Man and Technics
Spengler sort of broke with his cyclical views and instead came to belief that the West would turly be the final civilization, because in its decline it would take down all other peoples and the world itself through a massive cataclysmic extinction event. Dont think China, Russia, India, Africa or whatnot will be spared. Everything is in cultural and physical decline, and everything is going downhill,

The age of materialism and science happens towards the end of every cycle in his theory, the Faustian one is just more extreme as the most dynamic and expansive culture in history

History is an eternal Shepard's tone, fluctuating up and down in simultaneity.

Other than "Trajan and Hadrian are resurrected and appointed as dictators of the world" what else could save the West at this point?

It's basically the Das Kapital for idealists. Spengler is very much an idealist, the 4th in line after Kant, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche (not an idealist but was equally influenced by Schopenhauer). His basic theory is that entire cultures project their minds onto the world, rejecting cause and effect in history completely and essentially saying that nothing in a civilization's history happens unless that civilization wants it to happen. So feminism for example shouldn't be seen as a rebellious movement, but an essential part (not "good" or "bad") of the late Western cultural ethos.

Yes it's worth reading, but his theory is as extensive as Marxism and should be approached as such

America collapsing into a civil war and losing all ability to project power globally

based chink chauvanist

it is not a good historical work, he makes many mistakes. it is more of a cultural artifact reflecting the pessimestic world view of germans at the time.
anyway, if you want to continue being a bad historian you can decide that you are the literal messias to get yourself out of the cycle.

Yeah dood. The sun rises and it always sets. What you need to understand is that despite this, it still rises again.

The strength of Spengler doesnt lie in the factuality of his historical views, but in his prescience and predictions on history, and the rather depressing conclusions we're forced to draw. He's the anti-marx in many ways, because while many praise Marx' interpretation of history, his predictions never came true, while Spengler's interpretation of history was shoddy at best, but he nonetheless managed to predict the course of the West (and Russia) with high accuracy. And beyond that, he was able to dismiss empty optimism of countries in ascension because of the achievements they have, or their expansive drift, like with the USA, USSR, or Nazi Germany. Spengler could see that there was already rot setting in, and he would likewise dismiss people who nowadays think that China will rule the world, when China is rotting away just as hard as the West is. In fact, China has become part of the West, and it is not a pseudomorphosis, as Spengler thought Russia was (though i'd argue Russia has been far more Westernized than Spengler thought it'd be)

>The social expectation that girls and women should remain “virgins” (i.e. without having sexual intercourse) is based on stereotyped notions that female sexuality should be curtailed within marriage. This notion is harmful to women and girls globally.

It's not like Spengler refutes evolution.
>cyclical
Dude we're already double helix mode.

>when China is rotting away just as hard as the West is

how so?

>Abysmal birth rate
>Culture completely obliterated and being replaced by late stage Western cultural forms (communism, capitalism and protestantism, the most soulless and degenerated of all Christian forms)
>extreme work pressure and expectations causing despair while also fostering hypercapitalist careerism
>Despair amongst the populace and increased amount of people checking out like Western NEETs or Hikkikomori's
>Severe gender disbalance means about 30 million young men will never get married

The first two points are the biggest ones, because a shitty birth rate always means decline.

Is China also being dominated by hedonism? I thought their Communist Party was socially conservative?

But the populace is. And there is more to decline than just hedonism.

War.

Is this a joke? I knew there were people this dumb outside but I didn't know they were here too

Optimism is cowardliness according to spengler tho. To spengler this was always inevitable. The death of god was the completion of will which was the fundamental thing that made the west different from other cultures, not optimism.

Modern Jews come from anywhere, there are even Indian Jews and Congolese Jews. But their spiritual ancestors are the Israelite of old, and for Middle Eastern Jews (Mizrahim) they will be their blood ancestors as well.

The UN is just an extension of the US propaganda system

>harmful to women and girls globally
Ironically, what's actually harmful to women is promiscuous behavior that later inhibits pair bonding.

While the Party doesn't allow porn or gay mariage, its only objective is increasing the purchase power of its citizen and maintaining its own power. The Party is extremely corrupt and the Chinese are very materialistic, only thinking about eating and buying new cars. The economic growth will slowly diminish and they'll be left with an overpopulated soulless consumer hell.

its nothing special to diagnose a rot in the West. Kierkegaard and Nietzsche seperately did it almost a century before spengler. whatever Spengler would add would be historic, which is all thrash. seriously, only pseuds read and care for spengler. instead read some hayden white or something

Except Spengler's diagnosis and predictions went far beyond what Nietzsche and Kierkegaard predicted. Not just in the breadth of his predictions (Nietzsche barely touched politics, economics, millitary developments, propaganda, civil developments, etc.), but also the duration. He didn't just diagnose the illness, but also predicted most of the trajectory that it would take.

I think the internet is the herald of us reaching a divergence point. The exchange of ideas is happening in a revolutionary way.

Now rather than a few isolated individuals intuiting the decline of their civilization and being unable to really warn a critical mass, you have a widespread number of people globally aware of the current crisis.

This awareness is the essential catalyst to a new reaction. Using this new mode of communication we can direct the course of history in a novel way.

>you have a widespread number of people globally aware of the current crisis
And? Nothing is changing. Nothing is going to change. Revolutionary ideologies were tried and tested a century ago, and nowadays only the very fringes of society support them. There will never be mass movements in support of something like communism or fascism ever again, because they were tried and they failed. Even the ideal of democracy, the first of these ideologies, is slowly but surely crumbling away as we enter the age of Caesarism. The Internet is the Faustian version of the forum and the agora; the mass media, the professional Roman orators. The purpose of the media and the orators is to push the masses in a certain direction. Though the masses are incapable of independent thought, they do largely constitute the material body of the state. If someone wants to get something done, they need the support of the masses, and in this Roman republicanism and Western democracy are no different. Western ideals have shifted from the idea of the nation state to the idea of money, as was the same in Caesar's time. The moneyed elite allowed the transformation of the Roman republic into Augustus' dictatorship because the only thing they truly cared about was keeping their money, no matter how much they lamented the decline of the republic, and the masses followed Caesar and Augustus because of how much they reviled the moneyed elite. Caesar was not assassinated because he was a dictator, it was because he wanted to take the latifundia away from the wealthy and redistribute it to the poor of Italy. And it will all happen again in the West in a few decades.

>Nothing is changing. Nothing is going to change.

Your beliefs dictate your reality.

I believe I can do without doing. So it is done.

What about the beliefs of everyone else?

It's been one of the most shilled memes since the 70s at least. Economists have been talking about it for bout 30 years. Far right parties have been making scores well in the 20% in national elections in Europe on that very platform. Novelist who do nothing but yap about it for books on end have been winning prizes since the 90s. One guy recently got elected president of the most powerful country on Earth on a campaign called "make our country great again".
The dominant ideology may be that we're at peak progress but the main competing ideology is that we are in deep decline, and latter is the one winning elections lately.

Also how myopic do you have to be to imagine Yea Forums and "some trad cons" are the only one with insight and completely walled from the idiocy of everyone else? Yea Forums fully embodies the modern zeigeist and is in completely in tune with contemporary retardedness, and trad cons nowaday are 90% midwit boomers running dishones cash grabs.

Samefag and redditor

The concept of terminal decline entering the political sphere isn't that old, as people used to think that it would end in communism as the resolution of history, rather than its decline. Then communism collapsed, and we briefly had the optimism of liberal capitalism in the 90s with Fukuyama and the hope that Russia and China would become liberal democracies, which started to fade in the mid 2000's. The giant surge of the far right is relatively recent, and most were already very well aware of Spengler before they started to expand their hegemony and enjoy the electoral and cultural success that they first achieved in 2016.

That makes sense, in that white people are the Jewest of them all.

Gilgamesh, however, refuses to be deflected from his quest. After a series of harrowing experiences, he finally reaches Utnapishtim, a former mortal whom the gods had placed in an eternal paradise, and addresses him.

"Oh, father Utnapishtim, you who have entered the assembly of the gods, I wish to question you concerning the living and the dead, how shall I find the life for which I am searching?"

Utnapishtim said, "There is no permanence. Do we build a house to stand forever, do we seal a contract to hold for all time? Do brothers divide an inheritance to keep forever, does the flood-time of rivers endure? It is only the nymph of the dragon-fly who sheds her larva and sees the sun in his glory. From the days of old there is no permanence. The sleeping and the dead, how alike they are, they are like a painted death. What is there between the master and the servant when both have fulfilled their doom? When the Anunnaki, the judges, come together, and Mammetun the mother of destinies, together they decree the fates of men. Life and death they allot but the day of death they do not disclose."

Then Gilgamesh said to Utnapishtim the Faraway, "I look at you now, Utnapishtim, and your appearance is no different from mine; there is nothing strange in your features. I thought I should find you like a hero prepared for battle, but you lie here taking your ease on your back. Tell me truly, how was it that you came to enter the company of the gods and to possess everlasting life?" Utnapishtim said to Gilgamesh, "I will reveal to you a mystery, I will tell you a secret of the gods."

He means Christian race.

Incorrect. Yockey and Spengler shared the same political sensibilities and both believed "Prussianism" was meant to facilitate a united European political entity that would dominate the globe as a kind of new "Imperium Romanum". I recall that one of Spengler's letters discusses the possibility of an American-led world order in the future if Germany fails to assert itself politically.

>"For the free-moving life of the animal
is struggle, and nothing but struggle,
and it is the tactics of its living, its superiority or inferiority in face of “the other”

their history. Technics is the tactics of living; it is the inner form of which the procedure of
conflict — the conflict that is identical with Life itself — is the outward expression."

Thats dubious. The age of giant armies is over. Whether you have a thousand soldiers or a million doesnt matter much when a giant missile strike, drone strike, or even a nuke can wipe them all out anyway.

>number of soldiers doesn't matter
>drone strikes can take out an arbitrary large number of soldiers
>nukes will be used in anything but completely desperate situations
>there is not such thing as anti-air defences and individual missile launchers
I get your point and it makes sense, but the way your put it is going too far. Numbers still matter, big armies still matter, particularly when they include tanks, warships, aircrafts, etc.
Only they're increasingly used as deterrent, like nuke themselves.

So maybe the war will take another form, like a cyberwar or economic war. Maybe it will be limited to proxy wars and small-scale encounters. But in any case the existence of big armies is a massive part of the strategic background, like the existence of nukes (even if they're not going to be used).

global decentralised warfare. Ideally the real military power will sit back and protect the heart of civilisation and let the fruitless branches kill themselves off. It will be war on a longer timeframe than we are used to. China has zero fight in them beyond self protection. Africa and Islam are tools for the culling. No doubt factions will exist, but i believe it is going to largely be a street to street war where logistics play the biggest part vs military capacity. (race + religion are set to be the dominant factors as darwinism would assert.

so, dialectics?

>Whether you have a thousand soldiers or a million doesnt matter much when a giant missile strike, drone strike, or even a nuke can wipe them all out anyway.
It does matter a lot. If a war broke out it would be shock and drag. First the conventional forces would clash in singularity of utmost violence and then the more robust force would move in and wage a war of attrition trying to maintain peace and economy both at home and at in the occupied terriotry.

I exaggerated, but the problem remains that there is no way those useless men can be used in a conflict that will not eventually erupt into a full blown nuclear war. If they want to create a meatgrinder for millions then they will have to antagonize either the USA or Russia, which will end up in a nuclear conflict.

So seriously, is there any point to it all? Any point in having a family? And therefore any point in living?

For starters, you can stop reading books written by men who never left their house or had sex. Then, you can leave your house and have sex.

>there is no way those useless men can be used in a conflict that will not eventually erupt into a full blown nuclear war
You aren´t supposed to shove all of the men on the frontlines. First the initial shock will destroy all the conventional military and society as we know it, then you are left with the remnants. How many, how skilled and how organized those remnants will be a crucial for the second phase, even if we don´t really know much about the second phase.

Russia is a very interesting example of how a religion can be dominant in a state despite only a minority of its population actually attending church services. Something similar probably couldn't take place in America, though.
