Notice these cases are always in the Midwest and or other flyover states? What’s going on there with the men? If they can’t keep their women satisfied—to the point these hoes seek out literal male preteens—then why does this part of the country get to vote in our national elections at an equal footing to us the non-cuck states?

@vibeocracy @surbegyd I do much more, but what’s happened is the east is much more homogenized now culturally and bullies the west. That’s my issue, all of our social issues are eastern US imports.

@vibeocracy @surbegyd I’m autistic and fit the role of a nerdy white guy quite well. The culture shock was I was still socially really fluid of a character compared to many of these white midwesterners. They were so rigid and awkward and shut in.

@vibeocracy @surbegyd Whites out here in the west (that aren’t east coast transplants) and a bit in the south; they’re better. Just a total lack of any vigor, I think goyim really is the right word to describe it. Obviously there’s exceptions but you can see why I hate most white suburbans.

@crabbybaddie45 Byzantines called themselves as Roman or “Romanitas” until the 20th century. This is a common rhetorical trick historians do to deny continuity with past cultures. Western historians really did not want to view Constantinople as Rome, so they said “Byzantine.”

@txgermanbre Interestingly. I couple I’ve interacted with said after that date might be a really good time for America (golden ages are more like post calamity healing periods). Which ironically lines up with more secular texts like the Strauss Howe some validity.

Interesting stuff happening in mundane astrology in Europe in April. last time we saw this kind of energy on that continent was 1941 and 1858. 1858 was interesting because it has a French element to it. Basically: 1858 Europe = •Secret alliance triggers Italian unification •Prussia begins path to German Empire •Britain centralizes imperial power •France tightens security state •Russia prepares major reforms 👉 It’s not chaos yet it’s the setup for a decade of transformation and war

@Based_Taco_ Aztlan also isn’t really a word from the area, but rather Mesoamerican centric. When you and I both know the people are and always have been very different from Mesoamerica despite the similarities.

@Based_Taco_ After this Chavez purge. I think Aztlan needs to be re considered. Validity and affirmation of the land and people. But a denouncement of the disgusting leftism that’s penetrated it. I don’t call it Aztlan because of this video: youtu.be/9mVL2oAfvnQ?si…

@txchuwx @Based_Taco_ It betrays the Indios too. It’s hyper reality of them. Not their reality. Aztlan as a term to describe the southwest actually was first coined by one of New Mexicos first Anglo governors because whites then loved shoving classical referances in places they didn’t belong.

@yung_lindy @Naifalbidh But yes. As America culturally colonized the world, it really didn’t have anything to export from its imperial heartland so it used a primordial cultures with some deep resentments towards it

@yung_lindy @Naifalbidh LA exported a lot of these to the world. So you’ll see for example, Puebloan paganism in Japanese media. And the Japanese know more because you’ll randomly find them there making big deals with locals.

William Irwin Thompson and the Coming Planetary Culture: We live in a culture that we do not see. We don't live in industrial civilization; we live in planetization. What we see as the present is really the past; what we envision as the future is actually the present. We don't see it because the artifacts – things, institutions, ideas – we have created to reflect our activity are basically appearances, as McLuhan would say, in the rear view mirror. – William Irwin Thompson (1985) The late William Irwin Thompson perfectly understood the lack of historical consciousness and instinct in modern humanity. What he described above was what he called the "Swan Song" effect, what we perceive as reality – the modern buildings, clothings, music, and institutions around us – is the swan song of an unconscious structure and reality that had emerged centuries ago and is currently dying, hence "swan song" effect. This is precisely why Oswald Spengler argued that modern world cities of the Faustian West, New York, London, and Paris, are the tombstones of Western culture. Thompson echoed Spengler's critique of modernity, eloquently I might add, but unlike Spengler, his vision of the future was more optimistic. Thompson argued that behind the conscious structures of civilization is a unconscious structure that is hidden, and slowly emerging to shape the future planetary culture without us even noticing. This unconscious reality is expressed in the drastic shift in the global climate, perhaps perfectly reflected today by the solar flares that have bombarded the planet the past months, and will continue to throughout the next coming years as we enter a solar maximum. The geomagnetic storms as a result of the solar flares will lead to events of a global significance that we all inevitably experientially share, thus as Thompson argued, they bring us weirdly closer to one another, hence, planetization. The odd thing about solar maximums, almost like Thompson's unconscious structures, is that we cannot know that we are in it until we are six months in one. That is of course using modern paradigms and methods, there are many individuals working at the periphery of the conscious structures of civilization that already reflect the methods and approaches of predicting weather and natural phenomena of the upcoming planetary culture, hence their rejection, and/or marginalization by mainstream scientific communities (@hogrbe; @SunWeatherMan). The unconscious is also expressed in individuals that are situated at the periphery between the conscious structure, "civilization", and the unconscious reality, marginalized thinkers, mystics, and artists, all expressing the same unconscious reality despite their political stance. Spengler himself was sensitive to the unconscious reality of his own time, hence the accuracy of his predictions. Thompson also reminds us that some of these cultural archetypes exist deep within the unconscious, this perhaps applies to some mystics and artists that reflect the tragic reality of the modern artist and hermit. Their extreme sensitivity leads to a break with the conscious reality, as they immerse themselves into the collective unconscious leading to powerful artistic or spiritual expressions, but more extreme mental breakdowns as well. The unconscious is also expressed negatively in shadow economies, in the activities of the military industrial complex, drug cartels, and human trafficking activities, all lurking at the periphery between the conscious and unconscious civilizational structures. Industrial societies destruction of the Amazon forest is a perfect example of this war occurring at the threshold between the conscious and unconscious realities (more than 20% of the Amazon forest has been subject to deforestation this century alone the last time I checked). What backs Thompson’s argument is the relationship between the Amazon rainforest and the Sahara Desert, that the dust that necessary to sustain life in the Amazon comes from the Sahara Desert itself, almost alluding that our planet in itself is sentient and alive, a point that industrial society neglects for its short term economic goals. Modern culture further negates nature through attempts in re-engineering the weather, cloud seeding or pluviculture, cloud zapping, or cloud dissipation technology, are all common today, and all reflective of the battle between industrial society and Mother Nature – the conscious and unconscious structures. Transhumanism and technological accelerationism are also expressions of these tensions at the metaphysical plane. Although I do not agree with Thompson that the future emerging culture would be a planetary one, I believe he was accurately predicting a future emergent culture beyond the West, as well as the final phase of a hypermodern Western Faustian expansion. Thompson himself was immersed in the West, and his theory could be argued to be culturally relative, as Spengler ironically argued concerning his own philosophy of history. Yet this is not a criticism, rather, a compliment, since thinkers who are sensitive towards the unconscious and immerse themselves into their own culture, knowingly or unknowingly, are usually gifted with prophetic insights. This explains why Thomspson’s predictions in It’s Already Begun: The Planetary Age is an unacknowledged Daily Reality (1985) describe our cultural realities too accurately when he predicted the “Californication” of the whole world, and said: So what you have, with that Southern California world Californicating the entire world, is a radical shift in consciousness in which you comfort people by performing the past and affirming it so that you can ease the transition into a radical new consciousness. Because if people really had it too fast, there would be an even worse kind of fundamentalist reaction of whatever variety around the world you want to point to. I argue that we are at cusp of a paradigm shift, a central principle or idea unifying all different ideas of this upcoming paradigm, is the spiral, which could be seen as a negation, and synthesis, of linear and cyclical directionality, perceptions of time, and social dynamics. Thompson was known for advocating a spiral curriculum to replace our linear curriculums, which he believed would transform academia as a whole, and perhaps culture. Thompson, along with Spengler, Quigley, Walter Russell, Gebser, Nikola Tesla, Carl Jung, Jaspers, and many others, was part of this upcoming paradigm shift, his works, along with others, are precursors of the new system of knowledge that will begin to emerge in the near future.

@txgermanbre We’re in the final twilight of the west. Europe becoming eastern Rome as Americanized but still with its ancient institutions and capable of pulling its weight. Ameirca being western Rome. The thing about spengleirans is we do dabble in this shit a lot…

@fatiguedgroyp White nationalists will betray. You. You have more in common with local Indios than you do with these wignats. I do too, and I’m a gringo (though we’re from the same landscape and are thus brothers).
