We stand at the edge of a crucial time. The empire is mired in debt, coming out of a massive culture war that destabilized its heartland, a new assertive strongman has defied the previous entrenched imperial system, and many of the client kingdoms are siding with the current order against this new imperial heartland. This is Rome in 50 B.C. on the eve of Caesar's Civil War against Greece and the Senate. Today we are seeing the same with America, as Trump attempts to stop instigation with a nuclear-armed power and admitting multipolarity and balance with other civilization states as reality. Meanwhile, the imperial system of Europe, Canada, and the Liberal World order stand on the other side. After failing to drag the US to die for them after decades of contempt and spite, the Europeans and Canadians are now doubling down on American Hegemonism and Liberal Order (Only without America) and fantasizing about a coalition of the liberal order against Russia and the United States.
There is a very simple explanation for this. When a civilization is about to collapse, the people double down. Now we are seeing it from the Faustian West double down on Liberal Hegemonism. Europe’s final form has ossified, and its Liberal Americanization. They radicalize in the language of English, present their struggle through American Pop Culture, and stick to the idea of their sacred Rules-Based order created in American Think Tanks. One contender for Canada’s Liberal Party nomination Chrystia Freeland (Who has a long history of gloatingly disparaging Americans) has proposed entering a nuclear anti-American alliance with France and Britain to stave off the Americans. Any America other than the one under this neurotic ideology is dangerous in their eyes. They have begun to call the US “Illegitimate” of the status of the Free World for its reluctance to not kill itself in a Faustian suicide pact. To them, Isolationism in America is the greatest of sins. We live in a reverse Iraq War. Instead of a bloodthirsty US trying to be pulled away by a still then WWII traumatized Europe into launching a hopeless losing war against Iraq; we see the War on Terror traumatized America trying to pull Europe away from a losing war with the nuclear-armed Russia which increasingly and religiously views its nukes as key to its sovereignty.
One must remember that the first nuclear weapons ever detonated were in the heart of the Aridoamerican Plane by the ever-inquisitive, then Hyper-Faustian Anglo Colonizers. The people of the direct land thus carry with them a visceral terror of such weaponry. Even the Aridoamerican Plane itself is traumatized by such weaponry due to the scars on the land. For it, we see America’s Aridoamerican side finally awaken and assert itself over its Faustian side, much as the vigorous youthful rages of the new Magian and Faustian cultures asserted themselves over the Apollonian during Rome’s Caesarist spiral. Although Trump is of the Gothic New York skylines and tied to the Atlantic; through his role as an American Caesar, he has been forced to the new asserting spirit of America forming. Pulled on the spiritual energy of its great states of California and Texas, along with the demographic rise of Indo-Hispanos awakening the soul of the land, America is undergoing a wave of liberation theology after decades of oppression of the American Heartland at the hands of the Liberal Hegemonic order. It declares itself independent from this liberal order of its creation owing to its chaotic and partially Latin American cultural character and the Spirit of 1776. Europe knows its civilizational history is concluding and is thus trying to start the Götterdämmerung and its suicidal urges via perdition at the hands of Russian Nuclear Hellfire. However, we see the soul of the Aridoamerican Plane awaken. Even if Trump and his chauvinist base view people like the Hopi and the Aztecs with contempt, even as he threatens to deport many of them, spiritually he has taken their side.
Here, guided by the fear of Europe’s suicide pact, we have seen the Aridoamerican eschatological mission awaken as well, as America tries to stop the inevitable encroaching apocalypse predicted by the Hopi and Mesoamericans. The Hopi, Nahuas, and other Uto-Aztecan speakers who represent both the Southwestern Community and Mesoamericans believed in cyclical world ages in which people’s hubris led to their destruction leading to the creation of a new world and it was up to the current people to live in balance with the land as to not end this current age. This is the Hopi Prophecy under the stewardship of Maasaw and the reason Aztecs gave their blood to Tonatiuh. The Hopi predicted that America would be in this very state, a neurotic decayed Faustian power that would indigenize for if it did not, the steward of this world (Maasaw) would grow frustrated and purify the world via flames. The Nahuas believed that our current would end by the shaking earth. Together, they are two sides of what is clearly nuclear perdition. An America with California and Texas at the helm and the center of culture vs. the East is one of the assertions of Maasaw and Huitzipochtli over Wotan, of Aridoamerica vs. the Faustian suicide pact.
Our civilization’s final conflict before our fall into oblivion is not the clash of Man vs. Machine as Spengler predicted. Through resource constraints, labor constraints, and the human spirit, we have made peace with the machine. In fact, Tech Worship has become a partially Hindu grift. Our final clash is the awakening of the Aridoamerican eschatology as Trump’s America sides with the Hopi and the Aztec spiritual mission in stopping the apocalypse and the restarting of the world cycle against the weak and desperate Faustian Man trying to push its dead hand and beginning Götterdämmerung. From this day forward, America’s path is not down Western suicide but through the inevitability of Indigenization and Latinization with Santa Fe, Reformed Los Angeles, and San Antonio as the new heartland against New York, Washington DC, and the Atlantic. You can hear it with how Trump spoke to Zelenskyy. “You’re playing with WWIII” he stated twice almost pleadingly. However, despite this visceral terror which comes from America unleashing the nuclear demons among the world, Europe and the Liberal elites have damned Ukraine to extinction and its people have lauded and paraded it.
The lines are being drawn. America and Russia, normally mortal detestable enemies who despise each other are being forced together into necessity. The Katechon is joined by an America guided not by the Antichrist Faustian Values of Universal Modernity which its empire has become, but by a society that seeks to live in balance with the world, trying to stave off the inevitable Apocalypse and living in balance with the world guided by the Hopi’s warnings. An America that has acknowledged that nature and the world cannot be dominated. Now, due to this will to live America stands on the brink of civil war with its empire. To restrain their Faustian ancestors and family from jumping off the bridge. I dislike many things about Trump's movement; the anti-Indo-Hispano resentment and Anglo insecurity, the similar decayed delusions as the Faustian West proper, its instigation of the cartels, and blatant disrespect of the land continuity. It’s likely in due time once America’s Caesars find out about this culture, they will foolishly and hopelessly hope to destroy it as they did the wall. However, they have revealed Aridoamerica. If America is to survive and potentially save the West we have no other choice now but to heed Mabel Dodge Luhan’s advice, an architect of the very Aridoamerican-based Modernity our world is based upon; Indo-Hispanization or death.
As for the rest of the Faustian West, its fate is sealed to that of a Neoliberal Kazakhstan, Belarus, or North Korea. Eternally tied to America as America itself moves on due to no national agency, and America colonized the minds of its vassals far worse than Russia did.
Aspen heard u from the lastest eurarabia podcast great article
Quite an interesting view but Spengler also predicted in his later works that the Epoch of High Cultures is coming to an end and that the Faustian is the last D-Culture.
Even Russian soul didn't succeed in bearing new high culture because of wide-spread pseudomorphosis. As a fellow russian i can also state that Russia presents no danger for any country in the world because of its decadent nature - russian people of the XXI century tend to have all the racial and cultural illnesses which West have (large scale indigenous muslim migration, decline of birthrates and so on). The population of modern Russia couldn't be perceived as a vanguard barbarian and young culture because of its decline in the abyss of racial sterility, feminism, death of village-peasantry and all of the things we took from Soviet era.
Speaking of military capabilities of that decadent and sterile Russia, it cannot even conquer shitty Ukraine for almost 3 years - what can one say about more advanced countries and even Europe as a whole?
