How I Believe This All Ends
"No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men"
Recently, a few people have asked what I believe the end game is for everything that’s happening now. Inflation, warmongering, educators grooming kindergartners - an endless stream of insanity that points to everything coming to a head. Soon. Some are predicting nuclear war. Is it a possibility? Of course. Do I think it’ll happen? Most likely no. I don’t believe the elites are that self-destructive. But, as someone will inevitably say, the elites have underground bunkers. Knowing what you know about them, do you really think they want to use them?
I was also asked if I thought the fall of the American empire will mirror that of the Assyrian empire. The collapse of the Assyrian empire was a true collapse. They disappeared. I don't know that I can see that happening to a current or one-time superpower in the industrial age. Even Russia continued to exist after the “communist conversation” ceased.
What about monetary collapse? When I look at how the powers that be always pull the currency back from the brink, I agree with Curtis Yarvin that they can string the money supply along for quite a while. Prices will increase but it appears they have a handle on just how far prices can go up before the people break out the Hoppe’s No. 9. But, if it gets bad, people may begin to congregate and talk. And that normally does not bode well for those in power.
What about the rampant degeneracy? Unfortunately, it will continue to increase until parents demand it be halted. The Weimar Republic was fraught with female and male prostitutes, homosexuality and all types of venereal disease. All types of deviances were normalized. After the 1929 market crash, and life became difficult, it became very clear where the German people were going to turn to save them.
So, where do we go from here if the path we’re on is a path we’ve seen before? Many are calling for, and envisioning, secession as an inevitable conclusion. Maybe we should look to Florida as a model. DeSantis isn't doing what he is doing with secessionist intentions, but soft-secession, at first, may be the logical conclusion. This is where I deviate with those who don’t see secession happening.
The other option I see as a possibility is a “great man” rising from the Right. Depending on how the elections look later this year I may adjust this, but for now I expect to see a bloodbath in favor of the Republicans. (Barring a repeat of 2020 election fraud which can’t be ruled out but would bring with it other implications to be explored at another time). History portends a man rising up who will promise to crush what the establishment has built. If he is truly the archetype of the historical “great man” he will accomplish his goals.
But what if, at this time, secession has already happened - even if it is only de facto in nature? I'm somewhere between Yarvin (great man) and Charles Haywood (secession) in that I see default secessions happening up until the point that the inevitable Right-wing "great man" rises up. At this point I believe he will try to woo the Right-wing secessionists back into the union. The question then becomes, if they say no, how will he respond?
This is what I believe is going to happen. I don’t know when, but I do see it as inevitable given what I know of history. This belief defines my likely quixotic mission to make libertarians and conservative leaning people, who claim to be on the Right, into Hoppeans who see the benefit of 10,000 Lichtensteins. Here’s hoping the “great man” is sympathetic to my vision as well.
We started homeschooling all of our children from the start. I own and run a small business. I am debt free. I just bought 9+ acres in the most non-progressive farming county one could possibly hope for, run by people I went to private school with as a child. I am preparing to say the least, but it helps I never trusted government, least of all with my children's souls, to begin with.
Do you see homosexuality as inherently degenerate? I know that gay marriage getting legalized seemed to burst the dam on a whole bunch of degeneracy, but I see that as a result of progressivism inherently being an ideology based on conflict that is always looking for the next dragon to slay. I don't see why a healthy society can't also accept homosexuality as something that a small percentage of people are naturally born with. How we get there from here, I don't know, but I certainly balk at the idea that it's inherently degenerate.
