He's right - conservatives are just liberals going at the speed limit. He's also right that you cannot expdct prudence from people who think the anus is a sex organ and the number of homosexuals in government is a direct indicator of the situation. Everywhere you see a pride flag, that's colonialism of the West in action, the very symbol of the American Empire. The direction we are going isn't left or right, it's definitely down.
I am slowly starting to understand the 4pt. Materialism is the sirens song, once it lulls a nation into sleep it will be liquidated. How do we wake up?
Reminds me of Spengler’s conception of Infinite Space as the key symbol for Western civilization. However, Spengler differentiated between Classical and Western civilization. Rome and Greek tradition is not Western, it is Classical and not an inheritance. Classical peoples were much more holy than modern Western man. Your recent piece on Israeli tech explosives also recalls the end of DotW Volume 2. Anyhow…
Just a glib comment, but if any of the ~200 nations in the world today were the sovereign superpower while also being true to themselves and their people, they would look slightly different (not just liberals in suits that only care about their airplanes, military, corporations and hegemony). I think 4PT would have every nation be peacefully comfortable with the full peaceful expression of these hypothetical superpowers.
What we see today is a politics of fear due to a zero-sum mindset of politics. The Western hinders its own greatness by fearing the greatness of others. Less talk and more listening can rid us all of fear given we learn each other’s languages.
It's an interesting piece. Doesn't perfectly align with my own understanding of Platonism and Aristotelianism, but the idea of materialism as of the "mother" is a new concept to me, and seems like it could be useful.
I do find that his description of materialism as an inversion of Platonism is pretty much exactly how I see it, and I agree that it's up to us to set things right side up.
How do we start? Plato and Aristotle have been incorporated in the very fabric of the catholic and orthodox church. I suppose that a return to those traditions will kill two birds with one stone

Welp, that's about enough of this spiritual nonsense for me. I'm out.

Excellent!
