Reverse Imperialism and Europe

decline, Empire, Europe, France, monarchy

Elements posted an interesting take on the slow slide of post-modern Europe. Mechanical translation:

The decline of Europe

For Julien Freund, decadence is an inevitable historical phenomenon. To use the subtitle of his work Decadence, of a « category of human experience ». The philosopher thus recalls that « every great civilization has its Barbarians, which it tries to conquer, with the more or less firm will to assimilate them until the moment when it finds that the relationship has been reciprocal and that it is itself exhausted in this game ». In fact, « its decadence is already part of its expansion ».

As Vox has said, empire is the art of choosing which foreigners will rule over one’s grandchildren. Europeans chose very poorly.

The solution, beyond the obvious need to remove the reverse conquerors, may come from some of the ideas in Terry Hulsey’s new book. Crisis, perhaps recovering a little from its COVID-Ukraine stupor (now do V2!), has an interesting defense of monarchy by Robert Shaffern:

The French monarchy has often been described as absolute, but that word poorly describes the actual regime. Many government responsibilities lay beyond the authority of the throne. While the French king was the only source of legislation for the entire realm, the king’s decrees only became efficacious when they were registered by the Parlement of Paris; thus, at the very least, the wishes of the king could be delayed. Both the British and French monarchies had to obtain the approval of the Parliament and Estates General, respectively, to collect new taxes.

The Enlightenment notion that king = bad, and muh democracy = good is part of what has led Europe, the USSA, and the rest of the West to the brink of utter disaster. Here’s hoping our future may look a little more like our past.

Lowering the Risk of Nuclear War

decline, nuclear?, USSA, War

If one side can’t fight, then there isn’t much chance of an atomic exchange.

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NSAA), an agency in the Department of Energy, delivered its latest Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan to Congress on Monday.

The Associated Press (AP) pointed out the absence of the deadline for ramping up production of plutonium pits – basic components of thermonuclear weapons – at the historic New Mexico facility. Last year’s report said Los Alamos would be manufacturing 30 pits per year (ppy) by 2026.

The NSAA seeks to produce 80 plutonium pits annually, with the Savannah River Site in South Carolina scheduled to ramp up production to 50 ppy by 2030.

No pits, no boom. This isn’t a bad thing. And the USSA should probably go ahead and give up on nuclear ideas, weapons and power, and concentrate on maintaining running water and petroleum.

Iran Knows

decline, Iran, USSA

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks the plain truth.

“Facts show that America was weaker under Obama’s administration than Bush’s administration. The US was weaker under Trump’s administration than the way it was under Obama’s administration. The US is weaker under [Joe Biden’s] administration than it was under Trump’s administration,” Khamenei proclaimed, according to Iran’s Tasnim news agency.

The whole world knows now, and things are moving so fast it’s getting hard to keep track of them. After the war, all of this will be good news for any Americans who survive.

I’m Sure It’s Nothing

What’s the 16th largest US bank collapsing mean, anyway?

The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation said Friday that it was taking over and closing the distressed bank to protect deposits, naming the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as its receiver. The FDIC has formed a separate entity where all insured SVB deposits will be available by Monday morning.

The closure marks the biggest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis and the second-largest on record after Washington Mutual collapsed during that industry-wide meltdown, according to FDIC data.

I really hope nobody took CNBC’s advice (as always) to BUY! BUY! BUY! just recently. Oh well. By the time the larger banks begin falling no one will even remember this little hiccup.

PS: If you have had money in this Ponzi scheme institution, and if you try to get it back, well, they’re calling the cops on people like you. “MURICA!

decline, DHS, enemy combatants

We have freedom fries, not the Stasi.

Under the domestic-intelligence program, officials are allowed to seek interviews with just about anyone in the United States. That includes people held in immigrant detention centers, local jails, and federal prison. DHS’s intelligence professionals have to say they’re conducting intelligence interviews, and they have to tell the people they seek to interview that their participation is voluntary. But the fact that they’re allowed to go directly to incarcerated people — circumventing their lawyers — raises important civil liberties concerns, according to legal experts.

Okay, so we have a Stasi. We still have freedom fries. They’re not free, but at least we have constant spying on us everywhere we go. All perfectly illegal, so don’t worry.

Previously, a real leader could have used some of the same policies set in motion by wicked communists like Duhbya to end this tyranny. We had no such leader. Thus all we can do is ride out the storm of the final days and years of the dying GAE. Just beware in doing so that “they” are in fact watching and listening.

civilization, decline

The following two articles may as well be less dramatic examples of this kind of ethnic cleansing.

An America rite of passage is ending as fewer teens drive – or even want to.

And THIS ONE is must read – one of the most dyscivilizational round-ups I’ve read lately.

One will have to read these – sorry – sans comment. I’m a little busy this week.

Cats and Pillows

child-free, decline

Some people, as Saint Paul knew, are not meant to have families. Most, however, are. So there is something off-putting about the intentional “child-free” movement.

The term ‘child-free’ has existed since the early 1900s, although it wasn’t until the 1970s that feminists began using it more widely, as a way of denoting women who were voluntarily childless as a distinct group. The suffix ‘free’ was chosen to capture the sense of freedom and lack of obligation felt by many of those who had voluntarily decided not to have kids.

Party like it’s 1999! Or 2029! Or … 2049… Or… Now, everyone can be a selfish Boomer. For a little while. Stories already abound as to what eventually happens to all these free feminists lacking obligation: they’re usually discovered alone and dead after days, weeks, or months of decomposition. The cats, the fur babies, just don’t seem to know how to call for help.

Replace the cats with a swarthy orderly in a nursing home, and you have a potential pillowing. Of course, as the Tiking Tokers suggest, if you like naps, then the great long one might not be so bad.

Start With A King’s Divorce

Church of England, decline, Protestantism

End with pronouns…

Now, in what would mark a departure from centuries of tradition, bishops are to launch a project “on gendered language” referencing God in church services later this year.

The move has been criticised by conservatives, who have warned that “male and female imagery is not interchangeable”. However, liberal Christians have  welcomed it, claiming that “a theological misreading of God as exclusively male is a driver of much continuing discrimination and sexism against women”.

A protest ending very poorly. There’s always hope, but it would be appropriate and understandable to bid England and the Church of England a fond farewell.

747, decline

Boeing sends the final 747 skyward. There are reasons for this, many having to do with economy and engineering efficiency. Still, it rings another note of the decline of the West.

Churchianity, decline, evil, schools

At least our enemies are somewhat honest. CRT in Jaw-Jaw skuulz.

The clip starts as he says: ‘If you don’t say the word critical race theory you can technically teach it.’

The journalist says: ‘And it’s amazing you got schools to purchase the curriculum…’ But Bostic interrupts and says: ‘And they don’t even know what’s going on.”

He continues: ‘I would say I’m a good salesman… but I’m also an evil salesman. Like, so bad.’

He is evil. But so are the people who run the failed schools. The people who send their children to the failed schools, which skewing wicked, are largely retarded. They also lack faith, bouncing around from one protty prosperity concern to another as the number of churchian outlets continues to shrink.

The end of all this will not be pleasant, but at least, it is ending.
