Demographic collapse, and it’s irreversible. 10-20 years at max left. Inverted population curve. no young all old, right now avg age is something like 48. One of the reasons they’re trying to land grab before they have no young men to do it with.

Yes. Really. But of course moral scope is relative. But the British act of ending slavery and spreading rule of law, trade, and the church’s spread of christian ethics, are evident, empirically, in the difference between their colonies, everyone else’s, and those never colonized. Even today the UK is committing suicide out of virtue signaling.

We thought the hundred years war was bad. But it turns out that the two century war to end agrarian empires and convert (evolve) the world to industrial technological nation states free of previous wars hasn’t been completed. Why? The anglos are european and presume settlement and mutual adaptation and reconciliation. This is a distinctly european behavior of small states dependent upon trustworthy alliances projected on ancestral empires dependent upon trustless control that populate the rest of the world.
Russia is dying. Iran is closing on restoration of its heritage. China’s communist party prevented the fragmentation and conversion of china into it’s natural nine or more nations. But china has, we think, burned it’s population.
From my perspective we are in an endurance race to see which demographic population can restore its birth rates, and create a homoegenous enough politiy to possess shared strategy, values and culture to survive.
It is quite possible nobody wins.
And a dark age follows.
It’s happened repeatedly before.
Bronze age middle east, Iron Age Rome, Middle age India, Modern Age China.

@OrielJohann
net net, yes you are correct. I just enumerated the majority of causes. I’ll wrap it into the industrial revolution relieved demand for consumption and we built a world for consumption which of course produced deterministic consequences.

HOW THE FAMILY WAS DESTROYED IN PURSUIT OF CONSUMPTION (THE AGE OF CONSUMPTION IS OVER)
The family was undermined by:
(a) mobility (moving to cities for work)
(b) deliberate zoning prohibiting cities from intergenerational family dwellings.
(c) Substitution of kin insurance with market/state insurance generally: the social security program etc.
(d) the introduction of women into the workforce but the siphoning of all their revenue into taxation.
(e) abortion and the pill
(f) No-fault divorce and broader family-law regime changes
(g) the marxist-pomo-feminist movement to destroy the family – on purpose the way the church destroyed the great families of europe by prohibiting cousin marriage.
(h) the ideological capture of education by women and women’s bias for gut-courses of indoctrination into rebellion – the female movement to evade responsibility and adaptation to intertemporal outcomes rather than temporal empathic ends.
(i) Education inflation / credentialism
(j) Resulting high housing costs and size constraints.
(k) Male wage stagnation due to deindustrialization, financialization.
(l) The computer revolution that vastly increased demand for white collar work by women at (temporarily) high wages.
(m) Tech and media shocks (sexual marketplace disintermediation, porn, dating apps; these act on mating markets directly).

NOTE FOR ALL: There is a relationship between culture and genome that is self-reinforcing, but mostly in the direction of neotenic evolution (domestication syndrome). So the [R1b > R1a > I] cline have been co-evolving for millennia – at least since the end of the ice age.
We might argue that genome is just a proxy for civilization because civilizations reflect the demands of their genetic distributions, and the primary axis of genetic distribution in both sexual rate and depth of maturity, sexual dimorphism, temperament (personality) and intelligence.
But all that would mean is that it’s the distribution of the population under that culture evolved under that genome evolved under that degree of neotenic evolution, made possible by isolation and sub-speciation.
This is the correct explanation of the correlation of integration possibility rather than purely attributing it to genetics.
When we account for the entire sequence we see causal clarity and ends the criticism of reliance on genetic determinism.

(Worth The Watch)
BARRY DOING HER BEST JOB OF EXPLAINING THE RUSSIAN MIND.
It’s sad. I love them. But they are still serfs. Feudal. And as a low trust polity that never obtained middle class majority and the resulting rule of law, they cannot imagine they can be self organizing and a market economy that would be the envy of the continent if they would just work at it.

I didn’t forget it. On the other hand the germans settled the east, and ran into the russians who were expanding west. My argument is founded upon the lack of necessity of the english and then americans to enter the war. AFAIK, even WWI as an attempt to recover what had been lost to napoleon. (I try to think about conflict from every side’s position.)

–“There is no such thing as the Islamic Golden Age, when it was if anything a Persian (Iranian) Golden Age that was due to the import of Greek Thought, and was ended by Arab fundamentalism of Al-Ghazali.”–
Almost all the thinkers were Iranian and only outwardly muslim out of self preservation. At the time egypt and syria are majority christian.

Here is how old this observation is:
Aesop’s fable “Hermes and the Arabs” (also known as “The Cart of Lies”), from Laura Gibbs’s translation of the ancient Greek text:
–“Hermes filled a cart with lies and dishonesty and all sorts of wicked tricks, and he journeyed in this cart throughout the land, going hither and thither from one tribe to another, dispensing to each nation a small portion of his wares. When he reached the land of the Arabs, so the story goes, his cart suddenly broke down along the way and was stuck there. The Arabs seized the contents of the cart as if it were a merchant’s valuable cargo, stripping the cart bare and preventing Hermes from continuing on his journey, although there were still some people he had not yet visited. As a result, Arabs are liars and charlatans, as I myself have learned from experience. There is not a word of truth that springs from their lips.”–
Low trust, faceless, culture.
