End of west

Recommendations about books that try to predict or agree with the idea that "western civilization" is quickly nearing it's end. Pic related, is that book still worth reading?

As a bonus what is your personal opinion about the current state of the world and west?

Here's you a reading list: pastebin.com/uMtuv0F2

We're nearing a period of some very serious trouble, though I don't think it's exclusively the West that will suffer from it. Look at the Arab Spring, the rise of Hindu supremacists in India, among other things.

Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt - Paul E. Gottfried

>Current state of the west
Decline. It's not nearly as bad as /pol/tards and commies make it out to be. Things are gonna get really shit only if Asia develops an economy stronger than ours.

Mahan, Seapower
Strauss & Howe, 4th Turn
Dugin, 4th Political Theory

Anything on religion in the USSR, esp. after its collapse.

Also Managerial Revolution, Burnham

keke that book is not what you think it is

The West will never fall. Our time is just a temporary setback, we shall rise up again, and soon, all the enemys of the West shall learn a fate worst then death.
The West is a phoenix, it always rises from dust.

Unfortunately incorrect. The familial lines within the West will survive, and be subsumed into some other Culture.

The West is Faustus, and we too shall cry for Mephistopheles to no avail.

...

The biggest indication of the West's decline from that list is the fact that you have it saved. Not convincing enough though.

...

>Muh insult far right views because that's what I'm supposed to do
Grow up

What do people mean by the "fall of the West?" Are they talking specifically America? Do they think China is going to conquer western Europe?

>Grow up
Says the guy who has a list of literature on how the West is in decline / is defending that guy.

>reactionary traditionalism
>far right
Ha.

They have invented a past, which - to repeat - never existed, in which they would have totally gotten laid.
But this fictional past is gone and now they're virgins, which is not their fault but the fault of SJWs/postmodernism/soybean isoflavone/Jews/Frankfurt School etc. who are destroying 'western society' or something.

Socialism and Fascism have fallen. Third Industrial Revolution keeps going. The west marches on.

so what's the breaking point for west? do we eventually just run out of peasants to transfer to cities or do we become too 56%.

>so what's the breaking point for west?
Cloning.

>What do people mean by the "fall of the West?
Some combination of diminishing geopolitical power and cultural influence and vitality.
>Are they talking specifically America?
haha holy shit no. Many european reactionaries intensely hate america, even.

The scandinavians still seem to be holding up a cool birthrate. I'm actually more afraid of the hypothesis that swathes of the third world will never have the opportunity to industrialize at all thanks to automation and remain shitholes forever.

>its not as bad as they say
they don’t synthesize their understanding deftly enough, just stealing the bare essentials of each other’s theory and praxis, but it is worse than they think it is.

>it is worse than they think it is
The "West" is not in decline. If it was, there would have been the dissolution of science tech and medical fields already.

Holy fedora batman

So we're talking things like declining white birthrate, influx of refugees, Islam, proliferation of nonwhite culture in mass media, etc?

>fedora
You're joking, right? The next worst thing to hippies who say that the West is a corrupt conglomerate is hipsters who say things were "better before" and that shit's going downhill when it clearly isn't.

>the past never existed
>everything is always the same
(You)

you are an example of why women should be banned from the Internet

Fuck- forget the clear anti-nonwhite bias among whites- what about white people’s utter destructiveness towards EACH OTHER? WWI, WWII, Britain vs. France, France vs. Russia, America vs. Spain, Brits vs. Irish, Irish vs. Irish, and THOUSANDS of years of non-stop conflict before that, whether it’s ‘barbarian’ whites (Gaul, Teutons, Anglo-Saxons) against civilized Greece and Rome, or- fuck!- what about that utter fountainhead of Western European Identity- Greece, itself, which was never ‘Greece’, but dozens of warring city-states who wouldn’t wait to cut each other’s throats? What about Italy’s wars against itself before its slow and bloody consolidation? This is not to even mention the rates at which local whites offed each in numbers that, neighborhood by neighborhood, would make the alt-right’s nightmares re: “Chicago blacks” seem like paradise. Just look at human murder rate over time! Europe was NEVER unified until the last 50 years, there was NEVER an ‘Islamic’ empire, NEVER a ‘Christian’ empire, just a bunch of self-loathing morons who were arguing, in micro, exactly what the alt-right morons are currently arguing in macro. And because I see absolutely NO historical evidence of white people’s respect for other white people, it would be quite the leap of faith for me to accept that white people are innately accepting of non-whites. Goddamn- the European Union can’t even hold itself together without finger-pointing, and these morons are pining for a ‘European homeland’ where they would be absolutely rejected by the true locals as ‘fooking Yanks’! They are idealizing Europe and ‘white’ identity because they neither understand Europe nor white identity. Put another way, they’ve been utterly cucked by history, and think the resultant stain is some sort of inborn nature.

hi Baud how is being in Purgatory?

Anyone notice that the West started to fall only a few decades after the Jews stopped being so "oppressed"?

you didnt show enough in the first couple sentences to warrant reading that text block i have no reason to believe you have any insight whatsoever

t. cucked by history

Spengler does 0 of the things you said, he didn't believed on juvenile and simplistic societal divisions as an immutable and universal "christianity" (albeit it's one of the fouding platform of the west) for example.

>Lothrop "We've got to beat them down" Stoddard

Is this a /pol/ post?

Horrific post.
10/10

I'm from NZ and make no mistake China's influence is not a good thing for the west. America was cancer too, but China has nearly singlehandedly manipulated our politicians through a combination of bribery and its own CCP-mouthpiece news turning the local Chinese into agents of foreign policy that it's financially destroyed the housing market for NZ youth.
To put this into perspective, the average price of a house in Auckland went over $1mm in 2016. Just an average house. While wages have stagnated for decades and food goes up. And Chinese speculation carries on, and a lot of them preferentially rent to only other Chinese and won't consider you if you aren't. We're now considered the most expensive city in the whole world.
So yes, I don't think Chinese influence is a good thing. I used to but now I think they're worse for us than the fucking US. It's growing in Europe and if you're smart you'll keep it to a minimum because they will always put Chinese first, so you'd better not do the same.

Heroes - Mass Murder and Suicide by Franco 'Bifo' Berardi

In Pakistan China buys up all the businesses and land by the border because they need it against India.
But it's still a form of colonization. You can see it as clear as day.

they’re doing the same thing in Canada and the US in the PNW region its really remarkable all the properties with absurd rents and asking prices for condos that run the whole city out of the area.

if u said the same thing about jews ud be a nazi

if you post truth you angry the locals, their "redpill" religion does not allow dissent from the proscribed narrative.

letting in hindus is the antidote, in america the hindus have gotten to almost jewish levels of strength and a lot of chinese are actually retreating to china crying about "muh bamboo ceiling"

I know, but my point is that I go to other countries and I hear them say "look how bad it is here" - but in New Zealand they've taken it to a whole other level. I hear Australians talk about how bad Sydney and Melbourne are and Americans about Californian cities and Canada about Toronto but I promise you, it can and will get far worse for you in the future unless things change now.
NZ has a huge Indian population too. The Indians also get fucked over.

idk man i just can't get worked up with anti-chinese sentiment, the chinese i've known have always been chill af, hardworking af, and completely fair with people

"Western Civilisation" doesn't even exist in the first place. I haven't seen anyone who can define what "Western Civilisation" constitutes coherently.

I mean you can see all this happening though, I'm not making anything up at all.
It's the government and the businesses, not the individual people. I have no problem with Chinese people but after a certain point when a foreign country's government and businesses does its damnedest to make shit unaffordable for you I'd prefer those people doing it just fuck off.

>I mean you can see all this happening though, I'm not making anything up at all.

the people who say the same thing about the jews aren't making anything up either, bitching that some ethnic group just bought up your whole neighborhood is either racist or it isn't, i don't care either way but it has to be one or the other

No, it's not, because it's literally people in China funneling the money in and buying the property. It's not bitching that there's a proportion of ethnic group X that's too high for your liking, it's that it's in effect foreign money buying up your neighbourhood. Complaining about that isn't racist, it has real effects on your life. I'd bitch about it whichever country did it, it just happens to be China.

>implying Nazi problems with Jews were their real estate practices
kek
you pointed out facts, does that make you a nazi?

China is going to suffer extreme problems in its future, though. Unlike other expansionist countries, they already are in demographic decline, which means that their current policies cannot be continued for long, and they'll either suffer economic stagnation or must let in economic migrants.
Add the fact that they don't have much of a culture left after Mao, and the fact that Christianity is gaining a serious foothold, which both seriously hinder the stability of China.

>trying to cram Christianity and vaporwave together

you don't understand either

>The West is Faustus

teutonic stupidity. no one who was a part of the west, whatever the fuck that even is, would've considered themselves to be "Western"... they would have called themselves Christendom or they would have identified themselves according to their nation. If a place wars with itself for a thousand years, is it all one place?

The west is not Faust. Faust is an attempt to create a masterpiece without understanding irony. The west, if there really is such a thing (a secularized geographical zone reaching from the caucasus to the ocean), is Hamlet.

Faust and Faustus are two different things. Derp.

Found you

this

Reminder that even the American pioneer of Nordic Theory, Madison Grant, who wrote "The Passing of the Great Race" (Hitler called it his bible), died single and without children.

And That's A Good Thing!

Non-whites chopped each others heads off and ripped each others hearts out as part of their civic institutions. To this day, you'll find people get their heads chopped and hearts ripped out in non white countries frequently. Non-whites would have done any evil done by the white man and done it 100 times worse. Can you imagine if the Aztecs had a world spanning empire instead of the British? It would have been infinitely worse.

...

You're an idiot.
You point fingers at the lack of unity and cohesion among Europe and Christianity as a whole and use that as if you can say that means there was no British Empire or French Empire, and pick at the EU's faults when no other such supranational organisation has ever existed before in the past.
Your points are shit even though I agree with you that 'white' has not been a strong identity in the past.

Is it not obvious?

Good post.

The Great GDP be praised.

With you until
>mass die off of genetic waste imminent, likely assisted by State-Private entities
What the fuck is this referring to?

Let’s see- American slavery, Jim Crow, the genocide of Native Americans, the colonization of Africa and India, the Holocaust, the Opium Wars in China, great waves of American anti-European bigotry which coincided with the influx of new immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Russia, etc

As for the white race dying out- I mean, yeah, it’s true. But no one has been able to provide a cogent, intellectually consistent explanation for WHY a race ‘dying out’ is a bad thing. What does that even mean? WHAT is dying out? Not people- they’re here, but just look different now. Not the culture- human culture will do just fine, thanks. Not the genetics- they’re all there, from specific phenotypes (curly hair, blue eyes, big asses, etc.), to resistance or propensity for disease, and whatever else, just in fresh combinations. And, obviously, any human being that is born is genetically unique. The fact that a ‘race realist’ wishes to focus specifically on the 10% or so of human genetic variablity that is race-based, as opposed to the 90% of variation which isn’t, as opposed to the 99.9% that is the same, is mere cognitive bias for what is most visible and what is most obvious, as opposed to what is most SALIENT- a nuance most people (even liberals who wrongly deny race outright) simply do not understand.

What's with all the redditposters here?

Anybody know of any iron pilled/right wing books on audible?

Whites are literally committing suicide in Europe and U.S., their birth rates are absolute garbage. That is the fall of the West.

Jesus, the fucking state of you

I'm the poster of ..251, now just returning and seeing how much my post 'triggered' (in their terms) the /pol/tards and virgins.

It's funny how /pol/thought has morphed into it's own, highly narrow building of thought that does not allow for any criticism, any aberration, any change in outlook. Tiny pieces of shit get added (like that recent 'soyboy' crap based on a hilarious misunderstanding of human hormones) but the overall narrative is not allowed to change.

All this building has to prop it up is misunderstandings (of science, society, etc.), anger, and extreme self-confidence. No wonder it primarily attracts young American, the dumbest, most self-absorbed people on earth.

>human culture
Moron.

>I'm a serious intellectual who only reads books from cranks who agree with me

If that 10% accounts for the difference between blacks and whites of European origin, that 10% means a hell of a lot to me.

>they already are in demographic decline
At least they haven't let jamal in like the whole of europe did

There's a white race? Never heard of it. Can you define it's characteristics and limits?

I'm sure if you were English and living in England you would understand. You sound like an autistic American. No other culture or race is having to defend themselves to stop themselves from dying out. It always seems to be the whites which must justify their existence in their own countries

>But no one has been able to provide a cogent, intellectually consistent explanation for WHY a race ‘dying out’ is a bad thing
You are a stupid nigger

>audible
Just use archive.org

>we share 96% of our dna with chimapnzees, why are you worried about dying out???

>WHAT is dying out?
A culture, a set of traditions, a history, a unique ethnic group. I don't understand why europeans need to justify their existence.

>yeah dude you shouldn't be racist against blacks
>oh you're white?? well whites don't even exist lmao

>my white ass is on fiiiireeee

>tfw you have cancer and are dying but it's ok because "no one has been able to provide a cogent, intellectually consistent explanation for WHY 'dying' is a bad thing"

Most of the world is overwhelmingly brown and black. They populate most of the globe. There's plenty of them already. We have no shortage of brown and black people in the world. And now you don't care if those third world hordes intrude upon the only places in the world where a unique white race exists. And for what? Just to produce more generic worker/consumer units.

But as you import the third world, you import shitty third world cultures. You import shitty third world people with lower IQ's and less desirable traits and behaviors. Meaningless cultural dilution is inevitable. Don't even try to tell me we have anything culturally significant to gain from Africans, Muslims, Mexicans, etc. I've been around them too much, and I know they're all basically shit. They're mostly only desired for their votes and sympathy by the political left.

Unique traits of Europeans such as fair white skin, blonde hair, blue yes, red hair, green eyes, and so on are all predicted to slowly average out into a more or less homogeneous, mediocre mixed-race global brown/black people as immigrants dilute the West for no good reason:

>I don't understand how one word can have two meanings

As to be expected from a frog posting person

Yeah except for the fact that no one is killing whites.

You just said "yeah it's true that the white race is dying out"

Different poster

>hurr durr there is no problem

>white europeans have a declining population due to low birth rates and the rest of the world is mostly brown and black. Mass immigration has happened to almost all white european countries
>muh pol!!!!!

You have to understand user, Veeky Forums is leftypol-marxist. They deny reality like their leftist French thinkers;
The whole french marxist class is so stupid it hurts.
>communism is good, look at the soviet union
>information about gulags and purges becomes public
>well reality is not real and here is why
>communism is good, look at the soviet union
This is basically the essence of French-communist literature which is deeply embedded in /lit where Veeky Forums denies what happened in the past 3 years in EU: Brexit, Hungary & Poland in open defiance of EU, Italy turning right-wing because of EU's retarded immigration policies, Trump winning on that platform; Veeky Forums just continues to screech about strawmen they created to attack and 'win' intellectual arguments while the pendulum is swining hard right and anti-immigration

Spergtastic argument.

Even with all that is happening, I still feel it is too late. What is the point in me having children if in 20 years white british school children will be a minority in schools - which they already are at many schools in Britain.
Trump winning, Britain exiting the EU etc non of it matters. The rise of marxist thought in young people doesn't really matter, as it has been this way for a long time now. Or am I wrong?

Many politicians thought immigration was too high in the late sixties, before Britain entered the EU. Whatever the future of europe is, it is not european, and it certainly isn't anything like how good our past was.

Neither you or I are commiting suicide, what are you talking about?

>their birth rates are absolute garbage
Rising and falling population is a natural occurence in every civilisation.
