Title: The Architects of Western Decline

 The Architects of Western Decline: A Study on the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTmNWY0ZPfM)

QuoteThis is the long overdue study of the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxist philosophy which now controls Western intellectualism, politics, and culture. It was by design; it was created by an internationalist intelligentsia to eradicate Western values, social systems, and European racial groups in a pre-emptive attempt to spark global, communist (think liberal) revolution. Andrew Breitbart's historical notes are taken into the narrative.

The ambient noise in the background is too annoying to listen to this diatribe.

Every tribe, every civilization, has internal and external opponents.  Cry me a river already!  If your way of life is good enough, you don't have to worry about keeping people in, just keeping people out!

Except, "Western Culture" is arguably at the strongest it has been post-Colonialism. We are living in the most peaceful age in human history, technology is flourishing, many countries have adopted more and more secular and progressive legislation and cultural norms in imitation of us, real issues such as race and gender are working their way to the forefront where they might actually be truly and completely addressed, "culture" in terms of art, music and other media is perhaps the most vibrant and diverse it has ever been... really the only declines that can be pointed at are the elections of bigots and fools like Trump, Theresa May, Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, Goodfrey Bloom, etc. who want to destroy everything "Western Culture" has stood for for decades; technological progress, economic stability, unity with our neighbours and freedom regardless of race or religion. These men and women have actively called for more racism, more intolerance, and more laws that target people specifically because of their race and religion, as well as pass laws that actively hurt the people at the benefit of the corporation, and that is single handedly the greatest threat to "Western Culture"... the people you quote, the people you support, and the people who follow these hateful relics of a time that should have passed 100 years ago.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité... this sums up Western Culture perfectly. Frankly, you have no voice to talk about, "the decline of Western Civilization" since you have never indicated you have respect for the three core values of it. It's like a man lamenting the abolishion of segregation as bringing about, "The end of America as we know it!" or pastors who cry that allowing gays to marry will destroy marriage.

Utopia = no place = extinction

Ape men aren't progressive, they are delusional

You said "are" not "should be".  "are" is empirical and it takes honesty to see that.  Most people are liars, idealists ... but liars.  What "should be" is ... everybody gets a pony.  But I don't like lying like that.

The architects of Western decline: the Republicans, the Conservatives, and the rest of those fascist scumbags. Trump, May, Putin, Erdogan and the rest of the fascists are taking a sledgehammer to the West.

You do have that half correct.  You get half credit.

We were told a few weeks ago, in the IM section, that she was OK ... just on vacation.

Also, some Western norms have been adopted by non-Western countries (non-European and not settled by European settlers).  Japan and South Korea come readily to mind as being politically similar to Western countries.

I think we had some progress on social issues but our economic engine has gone so far to the right that it passed up Mousselini a few blocks ago.

Welfare state and open borders lead to economic collapse.

Q: What happens to Europe with the millions of migrants when the money runs out?

A: Civil war.

Ah, I see you understand economics as well as you understand socio-political issues and American culture.

Mussolini made the trains run on time, but that was the only thing in Italy that was working ;-)

A: Civil war.
Europe's civil war has been going on for centuries, with only brief interludes of semi-peace while they gear up for the next one.

Most recently because German tourists won't stay on their side of the border ;-)

There has been a "general" Pax Americana for 70 years.  It won't last forever.  The problem is what comes next.  I once hoped Europe could take it over, but it is weakening.  Russia can't, Communist China can't, Brazil can't.  Japan can't.  One can only hope the US can regain some footing and re-establish a cooperative Western Liberal alliance as a less powerful but still leading member.

Ask Soros et al what their plans are.  There is a Big Club, and you aren't in it.
