The west had a lot going for it. But killing off malcontents in great numbers every year didn’t hurt either.

WE ARE THE ONLY ARISTOCRATIC PEOPLE. WE NEED TO STOP TRYING TO CONVERT OTHERS TO OUR ANCIENT WAY OF LIFE.
Wars are won by deception, logistics, and numbers. And the Chinese are better at all three. The western alternative – well-equipped professional warriors in small numbers – is to strike early, quickly and decisively to settle matters now before they become more than we can handle. The Chinese strategy is to lie, delay, build an unassailable edifice and then to surprise, disregard, decimate, conquer, and assimilate enemies. They are not like us. They do not seek to make peers, nor to become peers in aristocracy. And we need to stop trying to create peers of foreign peoples. We are the only aristocratic people. The only people desirous of it. The only capable of it. We are alone. We forever will be. And we need to start acting like it. At some point susceptibility to consensus bias is instead just an excuse to submit to conquest in order to escape paying the cost of self-defense.

Britain and The Consequences of Wealth
[E]xtreme wealth ruins a culture. Spain, France, Britain, America, in that order all suffer from creating elites during time of plenty that attempt to perpetuate and expand the institutions that they occupy even after the period of prosperity has ended. Worse, formerly hard working people are lifted up out of the peasant, working and middle classes, and protect their status as well – collapsing the culture of industry that made them able to afford the luxury and imprisoning them in perpetual maximization of rents. Leaving behind a vapid pretense of false signals. The average Brit spends his life trying to find a way to feel morally superior to someone else. The average american tries to find a way to feel economically and meritocratic-ally superior. Pretense reigns in the nation in decline.
