Somehow I've become the whitepill guy in the scene, but we have a lot to be whitepilled about, at least in the long term future.

After getting tamped down for a few generations, a genuine radical right is starting to become a cultural force again. Importing minorities was supposed to beat white people into apathy but it has done exactly the opposite. White ethnic consciousness is again on the rise and the cat lady left is terrified to find out it did not depend on Trump.

What's more, the ethnic consciousness of minorities is dwindling along with their birth rates. TFR in the third world is starting to crater, and non-whites at home are seeing their own ethnic self-expression increasingly married to tranny stuff. Very demoralizing for them, accordingly they too are losing the will to reproduce.

At the same time, maintaining the ever more complex system of international trade and geopolitics is becoming unmanageable. The global economic system (alone) is too complex to manage and is subject to severe fragility. Many forget after only two years, but the global economy almost tipped over because of lockdowns, as supply chains nearly collapsed. Imagine what would happen if there was an actual crisis.

Accordingly, the managerial class in the West is increasingly unable to govern at home and win abroad. The West used to be easily able to win wars against e.g. the Soviet Union by colour revolution alone. Now it can't even make a long-term dent in the Russian economy using the combined might of sanctions (this is not to weigh in on the war at all, only to say that 20 years ago it would have been over in weeks). America can't win wars against illiterate men in sandals with 20-year-old technology, cf. Afghanistan.

The West is weak and it knows it. It's hysterical because however strong it appears, it is fighting a war of attrition against "reaction" and losing.

Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret
et mala perrumpet furtim fastidia victrix.

You can drive nature out for a while, but she won't be stood on her head forever. We in the right are like the 2nd law of thermodynamics — you might seem to be inverting the laws of nature, but the house always wins eventually and that is us.

Sometimes it's good to remind ourselves of the basics (and because someone asked me to expound on the last message).
