The spirit of our times is the desire of people to fragment from centralized states and from globalism

The spirit of our times is the desire of people to fragment from centralized states and from globalism, more in Europe than the United states, but dawning everywhere. It would be seen in Russia and China too but their general tendencies toward centralized fascism on the right and centralized communism on the left have blocked this populist trend.

But the more the desire to decentralize and localize grows the more centralization and globalism will block this populist trend by seeking even more centralization to control the social disruptions, virtually to the point of fascism.

This harkens back to Spengler's idea that civilizations always cyclically enter a period of pre-death emergency where "Caesarism" and the omnipotent executive takes power. But are these sort of cycles inevitable?

Growing resistance to Caesarism may start locally and then gradually build to the nation. I hope we will retain some form of federalism to protect the whole and not seek complete secession, as we decentralize into regions and states in harmony with real human nature, which remains, kin-centered, gender defined, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

I think this points toward the political/cultural solution of ethnopluralism, often written about here. It is a conservative transformation---not revolution---that I hoped will come which will bring about an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, where different ethnic groups can politically and culturally conduct themselves according to who they actually are, in their own regions and states within our Democratic Republic, perhaps with only a few amendments to our already existing constitutional separation of powers and states.

I don't think these cycles have to be inevitable, although we may have to suffer another version of Caesarism which will be used to try to calm the inevitable social disruptions caused by globalism, open borders, and multiculturalism, before we will see the real devolution and decentralization of these bloated and corrupt centralized states.
