Allow me to begin today’s thought with the certain observation what I propose will never happen because of the psychopathy of our elites, that certain elements are disproportionately represented who work constantly to undermine cultural and ethnic demography, and that these vacuums are going to destroy the West, which is why in reality, I believe in exile, civilization collapse and renewal, and accelerationism by proxy, which is to say just waiting and watching as the inevitable breakdown becomes the unstoppable demise, so that smaller new and healthy models happen. But when republics die, historically, they have the choice to collapse into component parts, or become empires. The West has become the latter without the sustaining principles to hold together, which is a choice that comes from losing institutions to people who want a global totalitarian system based on technology and slavery for all, leading to many worldwide conflicts, but let’s imagine here what a different group could do.
The West is an Empire. We fight savage wars at the borders of our state, using up whole countries (e.g. Ukraine) as meat for the grinder to sustain economic hegemony, seeking to conscript new migrants to cover up the failures at the heart of our system both militarily and economically, and are ruthless in pushing out a constant cultural message to undermine existing native structures through soft power technologies.
At the heart of this Empire has traditionally been the European dynamo, which in turn colonized many less developed locations into the sometimes arbitrary states we see in Africa and South America, and to vassalize the petty despots ruling over much of Asia. Two unique countries formed the frontier periphery, the Russian experience carved out of the Mongol interaction to form a hybrid Eurasian state at the Eastern frontier, which might have been more European with more inspired leadership who saw struggle as civilizational versus ideological, and the American colonies which developed with their Canadian neighbors to make a fortress of the fertile lands of northern North America. The passage of time and events has likely seen the departure, for now, of the Russians to be a different civilization minus potentially world ending nuclear conflict, but with the American intervention so many times in Europe and beyond, the Atlantic dynamo of Europe and North America could serve as the heart of a civilization with outposts through the Anglosphere and strategic locations worldwide.
We assume such an Empire is dead on arrival because a clearly observable global trend is the rising resistance of the native peoples in multiple ideological, nationalist, and populist visions to say to an ever shrinking but wealthier elite, that we will no longer participate, serve, or pretend you have legitimacy when you scoff at our traditions, replace our people, and impoverish us through insane policy. That no organized opposition arises is a testament to the powers of a gargantuan but usually soft-handed police state, the surveillance apparatus enabled by the worldwide instant communications networks, and fundamental disagreements about what should be done which are deliberately exacerbated but make it functionally where dissidents fight each other pointlessly to the mirth of those who make decisions. Combine these with the inescapable comforts which serve to brake any hasty action from gaining mass support, and it is easy to understand why the edifice of empire has proven annoyingly durable, yet these same factors are the precise reason why it will soon fall. While the Empire has neutered their own populations and their resultant politics for political and social agency, such populations will be unable, unwilling, and unwanting to help sustain such when the next existential crisis comes, foreboding a collapse because no one will fight for something so clever and evil.
Such a challenge may prove to exist in the current threat to dollar supremacy, which is frankly just as much a threat to the Europe, and to the international banking class which runs America and Europe both through the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland, but whose policies are usually somewhat naively blamed on the convenient canard of American exceptionalism. If people dislike what America has become, as many do, it is worth remembering that it was the influence of European elites, specifically British propaganda, Swiss banking, and Continental philosophies that saw a farmer Republic rooted in Christian escape turned into a cosmopolitan mishmash, and that in turn, has pushed those same policies back on Europe as a reflection and feedback loop unnatural to both. Yet, this is how Rome worked Empire as others have before in Persia, Assyria, and others, to bring diverse peoples together in support for wealth and comfort. The dollar, underwritten by the power of the American military, and what was once a deep economic advantage whose strength continues in finance, or assumed leverage, but which has become hollow in the truer measure of productive capacity and resource extraction, now faces a rising global coalition of powers who understand quite clearly the military colossus of the West dies with the dollar, and the new Silk Road to link China, Russia, and eventually the traitorous ally and independent civilization that is India. These powers, working in concert as their economic interests will eventually encourage, will offer an alternative to the Western prematurely assumed hegemony, and should nothing change beyond the rapacious control by debt and interest that is practiced on countries abroad and citizens at home, the defection of the Third World is inevitable. Such action would force the Western Establishment to accept impoverishment or gamble on a third world war, against superior population numbers, resource development, and with limited domestic support and the hope that technological differences against peer level powers which do not seem warranted based on publicly available information, will somehow permit a victory worth having. A gamble like that is a poor and desperate policy, but can anyone see our involvement in Ukraine any other way, and need they think that far, considering what hack publications like The Economist and The Atlantic regurgitate daily?
Their strategy is non-existent, and their goals at this point are just to sustain their own hubris, as the Western elites continue their subjugation of their own by transmuting democracy into the sort of culture they can control and push into subservience indefinitely, ignoring the political aspects for a new sculpted meaning utterly disconnected from the idea of electoral accountability, like Tucker rightly decried in how Zelensky no longer needs elections - a trend coming soon to a country near you. Their investment in the lowest agency, most morally repulsive, and least fecund elements of society, to serve as the fatted calf for the culture war whose true roots have been turned into endless distraction from the plundering of the various treasuries and peoples therein has alienated vast swathes of their population, but even perhaps more importantly, deprived the once vital meritocracies that enabled the corporate classes, academic leaders, and civil societies to compete with peers who still stress excellence like the states of East Asia. Such decline, a breakdown of systems within systems, shows itself in full glory in the generational descent of a state like South Africa, who offers a glimpse into what the urban centers of America and Europe alike can expect from the results of immigration and diversity policies basically designed to suppress native populations and talent. Look at France burning today as example of our future, as it only gets worse, and there is neither the will nor the desire or even the understanding why this must be stopped.
As the channers rightly observed, if there is any relenting in the woke culture war, it is only because there is now recognition that the core is hollow, and that the folk upon which the burden of empire must have been saddled have made the decision, have had this decision already made for them in so many cases, to not participate in this corrupt society so rigged against them. No one can know the true numbers, but it is clear a growing number, and perhaps even a majority of high agency young men have checked out of materialist hypergamy, seeing no potential for a future, and being comfortable enough to risk a reroll giving up any assumed material comfort in exchange for a tomorrow, even if brutal, where at least a fair chance will exist. This is the crisis at the heart of the empire, but the hiring of so many useless apparatchiks for so many decades ensures even if those who hide in dark rooms and lush chalets realize the problem, they have a bureaucracy incapable of addressing this, and whose fundamental orientation is inescapably hostile to the productive class in wait.
Assuming they realize the crisis at the gates, and assuming they wanted to salvage their empire, they will be forced to come to a reckoning with the very people they most hate: The traditionalist white men. After centuries of working to undermine our traditional Christian belief, so they could turn our women against us through the propaganda devices first envisioned by Lippmann and Bernays, after their perversions of biblical doctrine used to corrupt the church from Scofeld and Vatican II, with their pharmalogical warfare we saw so clearly during Covid and whose full accounting will only become true in time as the unexplained death number rises in concert with the genetic therapy experiment they called vaccinations, but whose innovations like birth control only lead to profligate carnality and familiar destruction, and using propaganda to turn us into automatons before screens in search of a singularity where the rules of reality itself changed, while they might be at the verge of their goals, they are also at the end of humanity and any resistance from without could in this moment destroy what is within. Many of us are rising to see this, many more without see the horror of the post human world they want for a plantation, potentially beyond even their own control, and others still have the lesser but still usefully human response of simply observing they don’t want a seat at that table when a better deal is to be offered.
All this prologue begs a question: What sort of Empire can be imagined as alternative, where collapse is avoided, but vitality is restored, and on what terms should we, those with agency, demand power and agency be returned. The problems are massive, and likely fatal for the reasons described above and many more, yet there are also tantalizing opportunities. As a long time nationalist, a strange development of the existing world order is most nationalists are friendly with one another seeing the struggle as being against global structures, and having a common ideology of respect for cultural autonomy, appreciation for historical living patterns and peoples, and the longing for the return of structures to unite us beyond compulsive state forces, like a healthy church and connected families. The seeds which grew Europe and America alike would still flourish in healthy soil, and policies like those of Viktor Orban in Hungary to support such growth are now being pushed, if in lesser form, by larger states like Meloni’s Italy, and have seen the progression from the milquetoast conservative defeatism in the US to a vitalizing movement against the corporate purveyors of ESG finance that is attacking the bought GOP. The organic foundation is present for a new imagination, that revitalizes Western civilization, that ends the war on Whites in our own lands, and that could, by sacrificing the parasites who pushed this destructive ideology, pushing them into exile or irrelevance, bring forth a new burst of energy and the potential for new development.
Such an action will inherently need to be populist and authoritarian to root out the rot at the top. In truth, although the propaganda would present this as a total sea change, history instructs a deal must be made between those actors who control the resources, which is to say the banking interests and the hidden oligarchy which controls them, and between a cannier class of activist and dissident, which instructs them on the history they forgot to learn when studying the laws of energy that underwrite modern banking. Not all is science, and politics is an art, but to bring back an age of great restoration, to invest in the native folkways and peoples of the West, is an opportunity still on the table. This Empire naturally stretches from the Dneiper to the Pacific, and after a just peace with Russia and de-escalation with China, could have sane and logical borders, land enough to gain almost any resources, and would be poised to compete and develop the remainder of the Western Hemisphere and to be at fair contest in Africa and Asia. Much like the American model, you could have a strong but limited government at the top to keep the borders of Empire secure, but which allow communities to follow their own directions within a broad and healthy cultural development. All that is lacking is will and vision.
To accomplish this, the purge will need to be massive. And yet, much like we have seen in Russia, when the oligarchs were removed at the lower layers, the state functioned better and the people were happier because the graft of middle management and their useless inefficiency as enforcers of the official narrative disappears. Such removals would do much to create goodwill with no downside, save only for the recognition that who sits at the table must change. The people who are needed are dangerous men, who have agency and ideas and will want to get some of what we want, but whether you choose to engage us or not does not determine our survival, and we already know you can offer us nothing in this system. In truth, if this elite wants to survive, they need us more than we need them, and what should scare them is that we know it.
Maybe this entry is an invitation, should the right person see it, to do things differently. I don’t think most people actually want to go through the long hard collapse road to renewal. But, that’s where we are now, because you won an empire you can’t really run, and for those people, please consider the next moves carefully. I fully expect hubris to see flaming destruction brought down upon us all, and perhaps God Himself will intervene to ensure a just outcome like that happens, but history will likely record as I’ve suggested here, another way was there to be articulated.
I won’t do all the work for them, but for those who understand, it isn’t hard to fill in the blanks. Pattern recognition lets you solve many problems, but we need a world where logic, truth, and virtue return, and part of me also knows those concepts are so alien and antithetical to those who run the show they can’t even probably see the evil that has corrupted them. Which, in conclusion, is sad, because there are still good pieces in the West, but you’ve made it impossible for us to put them together.
This is part one in a series I may continue, if engagement follows.
I'm anxious for part two.
