also if you think we're in a decay period right now how do you explain technology constantly improving with ever more inovation?

Because we haven't reached collapse yet, we are still in what could be considered the golden era of our civilisations
On the start to decline

There will be more conflict to come, more innovation
What we know will come to fall, but I won't even pretend to have any clue when
very intersting you see it that way, other political ideologies such as neo reactionaries and the alt right would say we're very near collaspse right now, basicaly teatering on the edge
Not really
They see incoming struggle, which to me is progress
When cultures clash their fighting only creates technological innovation, despite the loss of life
We near collapse when one civilisation stands on the corpses of the rest proclaiming victory unchallenged
Infact these reactionaries to me are progress
They are innovation
Wanting to uproot the social order is not stagnation
Complacency with it is
I apreaciate your perspective because even as a libertarian we have our own views which mirror thos of the altright specificaly on economics, that the economy can't sustaine it self at this current level do to banking manipulation and while this is not the same as societal decay it leads to basicaly the same disaserous outcomes more less, it's nice to know there are other well read people out there that think maybe we have several more decades to go before things get really bad
I'd give us centuries still
Rome had economic failings, and disasters
But they never outright strangled it
The complacency of its populace and the lack of virtue did
centuries, nice
But yeah see what i mean when i say i think too long term, i tend to ignore recessions and economic issues, and just label them as the natural order
it wont happen while I'm alive then and probably not in my childrens life either
yay
I mean hopefully the cycle won't finish again
I think it can be broken
yea man like you think super long term
that's cool
And society maintained if purged from decay
Yeah i usually don't do well talking politics
Because like the topics are usually what's happening in the middle east
libertarians tend to think a couple decades in advance which is better than most for sure but like you take it to another level
And someone wants to know if i support the Hebrews or the Muslims
And i say something along the lines of their struggle is inconsequential unless in 300 years we can stop the decline of society
Yeah, it's detrimental actually
I have the most hilariously pathetic answer to it all as well, making me just seem like some nationalist tyrant in the making
