What are some books that address disdain and discontent for the state of Western Civilization?
In particular mass immigration from Asian peoples tainting centuries old culture, a war on masculinity and traditional values, the ongoing eradication of religion replaced by consumerism and commercial art & media, the continuing trend of nihilistic music encouraging impressionable youth to undertake destructive behaviors, complete dependence on digital technology to make it through each and every day regardless of any real necessity, the exponential increase in prescribed addictive brain altering medication, and a general lack of grounding and uncertainty and fear about anything remotely in the future.
The novel that I'm writing. It's about a 19 year old girl trying to find herself and make it in the madness of the modern world. The novel's mostly character driven but when necessary it's observant of society and all the things you described. Actually I have several scenes where characters looking numbly at their phones causes minor conflict and I've sort of got this sub-plot where my heroine gets rid of her smartphone so she can get back into reading and have mental peace once more.
I spent several years living in the city in which my book is set. When I was working I was constantly jotting down notes and observations about the things normies say and do so that I could incorporate them into my writing. (Yes, I have autism.)

Dominic Bell
Spengler, guenon, evola
Connor Fisher
Its not the modern world, thats the greatest thing to happen, its the jewish corruption of it.
Mason Gutierrez
I can't even begin to imagine what you think your day to day life is lacking because of Asian immigrants, what do you imagine would happen if they werent there? What cultural activies are you missing out on?
Hudson Sanchez
Of course you can't imagine it, the lifestyle of the middle class/gate communities is different than that of the of the low class who have to deal with the results of elite's ideology.
Ryder Wright
I'm not upper class and you can't answer my question, I've worked with many many imigrants, they havent stopped me engaging with western culture in any way you dingus.

diversity decreases social cohesion even if none of the people are overtly racist
most of the people i know rarely if ever talk to their neighbors, society has essentially separated into bubbles that are blowing apart at ever-increasing speeds. it is a recipe for disaster.
Luis Sanchez
I kind of suspect that people feeling alienated is why there are mass shootings in the US Got no proof or good arguments though, it's just sort of a thing
Samuel Murphy
My Twisted World
Henry Turner
Are you pretending to be retarded or you're just a naive gullible moron? Just a quick glance over history shows that minorities have always tried to rebel and overcome their host country, its not the first nor the last time retards like you will prideful of their self-destruction just to be really sorry in the end.
Angel Evans
...and that's a good thing
Robert Brooks
Won't be when they start making fun of you and you piss your pants.
Evan Wood
>they there's that word again
we are all humans. one race.
Ethan Evans
Yeah and while you malnutrition and atrophy your brain, all other races are either stacking weapons in their mosques or working on cloning, nukes, genetic modification and other illegal things that westerners self limit themselves to.
Xavier Rodriguez
lol, okay I'm sure all those economic migrants are gonna stop you doing all those things you love like watching porn and childrens cartoons.
Eli Bell
They do, germany and sweden are going to be 3rd world countries in less than a decade.
Gabriel Thompson
Good
Caleb Green
But then nobody will have good things because non-whites are useless and you will be a slave.
Henry Hernandez
My lack of "personal experience" has been a real handicap to my writing. Don't get huffy with me because you're not planning on using the destruction of our culture productively.
Oliver Sanchez
The Foundation for Exploration
Jacob Bell
Houellebecq sheds light on these topics user
Jose Hall
This.
Liam Reed
>we are all humans. one race. Yeah this is bait
Christian Green
>Don't get huffy with me because you're not planning on using the destruction of our culture productively. I think you underestimate cultural and social collapse
Josiah Rodriguez
Behold the racist in all of his majesty - lumping Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and the various other races all together with the dregs of Asia so he can obfuscate the murdering, raping hordes amongst the innocent by damning them all as "Asians".
Jason Flores
Yeah, they are called mongoloids.
Leo Miller
Spengler doesn't show disdain or discontent with Western Civilization as a whole. He does show those feelings for people who try to be philosophers or artists when the time for Western art and philosophy is over.
Adrian Sanders
It depends. In the UK eastern asians, pakistanis and Indians, refer to themselves as asians too. But I have heard there is a problem in Canada especially with the Chinese
Nathan Martinez
how is it over
Jack Hall
Discontent? Where? Do you still believe brave new world was a dystopia?
Joseph Wood
Submission - Houellebecq The Strange Death of Europe - Murray The Decline of the West- Spengler The Culture of Critique
And so on and so on

The SPECIFICALLY WESTERN form of art and philosophy is over, capitals added merely for emphasis.
What made it Western in the first place was an unspoken set of beliefs that were characteristic of Western Civilization. Spengler characterizes this Western Soul as expansive, reaching out towards the infinite; he calls it the Faustian Soul.
This desire to grasp the infinite is manifested in the spacious, upward reaching architecture of Gothic cathedrals, for example. In general, the desire manifests itself by taking some finite instrument and attempting to grasp the infinite with it. Pure Reason tries to grasp Absolute Truth in the Enlightenment. The State tries to secure boundless Liberty for its citizens. The Church tries to grasp God, etc.
This desire naturally exhausts itself. In philosophy, it does this through postmodernism, which is the rejection of meta-narratives in general. It is the casting out of any finite, understandable worldview for the unknowable, for skepticism at large. You'll note that beginning with Heidegger, the course of philosophy has been questioning the assumptions of specifically Western ideas. There is a questioning of concepts that are privileged over other concepts until Western philosophy becomes merely philosophy done by Westerners, with no unifying conceptual background.
Similarly, with art there is a rejection of any unifying ideal; art is whatever we call art. By rejecting a universal rule, art has become infinite; everything can be art. Squirting paint out of your vagina is art. Calling a glass of water a tree, and explaining how this is the case, is art. There is no unifying principle that makes it Western, it's simply art done by Westerners.
The Soul of the thing is already dead, and is simply decaying. Spengler predicted the approximate end of Western Civilization would occur around 2200-2300 A.D.

This is such a strange set of beliefs I feel sorry for the man.
