There are many existential problems that freedom movement types do not give enough attention to in their usual one-issue solves all approach, such as the CIR movement. If we just give “we the people” a say, then all will be solved. I would like to believe this too, but I think at the end of the day, lying, or self-deception will only make matters worse and not solve problems. Only unrestrained realism, confronting reality, can one begin this process. Remember the same sex marriage vote?
One aspect of this difficulty that disturbs me greatly is that of cultural decadence and degeneracy, well anticipated by that great German historian, Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), who saw the decline and fall of the West coming by means of the growth of destructive forces that destroyed other civilisations such as ancient Rome. There are many such forces we face today, one of the most difficult being the cultural force of hedonism and narcissism, which cripples resistance, since young people are not interested in the big questions, such as saving Western civilisation. Polluted by Leftism and woke in schools, it is now common to support communist China conquering the West and rising to global dominance.
