Nothing short of nuclear war or Year Zero on a global scale can do that, I'm afraid. That, and even assuming we survive and rebuild from the Crisis of the 21st Century at all, a few centuries of (relative) peace and prosperity is probably the best we can hope for, given how short humanity's...

Well, the French Revolution was what gave us the march towards "Muh equality!", which (due to cross-cultural exchange) eventually found its way here via the examples I cited earlier. And yes, I'm aware the American Revolution inspired the French one to an extent, but Classical Liberalism itself...

Yeah, they really excel at the whole emotional blackmail thing, mostly via taking advantage of the average person’s kindness and desire not to make certain groups (e.g., trans people) feel “excluded” or “unwelcome”. Of course, the Left’s behavior as of late has also begun to wear at the public’s...

Probably relevant here, since whatever replaces the post-Enlightenment paradigm of runaway progress and evermore government is worth noting: Basically, even though it's curtains for the European Right, I'd expect a resurgence in tradition anything like what @Lord Sovereign foresees to be of a...

In that case, I suppose we should distinguish between the American Right and the European Right? Because they are, as you point out, two different beasts with different values, what with the US's brand being "ruggedly individualist" and rooted in a republican tradition. (Heck, the Founding...

Yeah, I wondered if someone would bring up the French Revolution at some point. Considering the shit-storm that unleashed, I guess I can see why. Too bad it had a shelf life that outlasted Robespierre by over two hundred years now. (Even though, of course, the Progressive Era and PTSD inflicted...

By "less than a hundred years", I suppose you mean since the end of World War II? After all, the monstrous behavior of "civilized" Germany was more than enough to show that the West wasn't as enlightened or above it all as it believed it was, which (as you've said) really gave the globalistic...
