What is next for the West?
A few traditional Christian
conservatives have been powerful in their objections to the decline
of the West. I think of Pat Buchanan and Srdja Trifkovic who have
been warning us about the actual mandate of Islam being war (jihad)
against believers and the establishment of Sharia law over everything,
and also warned us about how cultural Marxism has actually welcomed
the decline of the West, like some perverted cuckold. Christianity is
never blamed, only the Other is blamed. Why pile on with more
criticism of Christianity and Western culture?
Here is why: the weakness of
traditional religions, which include Christianity, is the foundation
of non-material spiritualism. Friedrich Nietzsche saw this as a major
cause of the decline of the West and he rejected religion in favor of
power-for-the-sake-of-power. Science as well as the philosophical
followers of Nietzsche also rejected religion, and welcomed cultural
Marxism, gross consumerism for the sake of consumerism, or the empty
abstractions of science. This did not save the West, it led to the
relatively of values and nihilism which now cannot protect the West
from decline and fall.
So what is next? Human nature always
finds its way back to human nature, legally or illegally,
conservatively or radically. In political philosophy this I think will lead toward the natural separations of ethnopluralism, with ethnic
regions and states rising from the decline of imperialism. And I believe theological materialism will be the next stage of
religion, retaining the past inward religion, but transforming it by
affirming the outside material evolution to real supermaterial
Godhood. This can at least remove the dead end of spiritual
non-materialism, which has left the West unable to defend itself.
