How does modern technology change Spengler's predictions? He probably didn't see europe becoming 30% foreigners by 2025 too.
>unsubtle shitpost thread
>>24947777But how can you fail to see it?At this very moment you discuss his ideas inside the zygote of the deterritorialized culture of tomorrow.
>>24947777What a waste of quads. Anyways Spengler would have considered your so-called 'foreigners' spiritually western (and frankly of a higher type of westerner than the fellaheen white jiggaboos you see going to exotic dance parties and having polycules) and in essence an extension of the western soul. In a way you could say they represent the contraction of the West, a civilization founded on the space-concept of infinite expanse, into itself. No longer able to expand horizontally, it now imports the periphery to the imperial core as a way to assuage the anxieties of it's growing irrelevancy.
>>24948043So arabs, negroes and indians are the real westerners?
>>24947777Alot.
Do people take Spengler seriously? He's basically doing the equivalent of horoscopes but for historical societies. I think it's cute how much of a fanboy he was for Mesoamerican civilizations though, a shame he didn't live to see the decipherment of the Maya script
>>24948148Should go without saying but due to how old Spengler's writings are a, lot of the information he gives here is seriously outdatedStuff on Mesoamerica even from 20-40 years ago is missing a lot of major research, let alone 100. Again, he was writing before we could read Maya inscriptions at all.
>>24948149>>24948148whoops, didn't realize that second image didn't continue where the first one left off and skips over a bunch of stuff, oh well
>>24948062Quite.Different ideas?
>>24948148>how much of a fanboy he was for Mesoamerican civilizationsThat's because he had a good taste. Based Spergler, Mesoamerica was extremely cool.
>>24948148>>24948149mesoamerican and south american cultures are genuinely underrated beyond most peoples understanding as a topic of interest
>>24948255Here's an updated version of that collage for you, with higher quality/more color accurate images and notesNeed to do a third revision at some point
>>24948062Certainly those who emigrate into the Western economy to take our jobs, not at wagie level, but at Bachelor/Master/PHD level.The problem is that if their home nation isn't built enough, they are actually trapped, and can't go back home, so their ambition isn't passed on to their kids.From a US perspective this is interesting. The Indian has nothing to go back to. But the Chinaman is now at a point where going back is a option, but some of them don't want to do that due the memories or Mao or Deng.
>>24947777How would his philosophy explain the rise of the PRC? is it obviously in some kind of spring now. Is it a re-flourishing of the same Sinic culture that already declined before? Is it the rise of a new culture with a new ur symbol?
>>24948375>>24947784>>24947777I'm trying to read this fucking brick but I fell like he's saying nothing and I'm wasting my time. I want to finish this book. any advice?
