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

I think what has to be looked at is if maintaining sufficent power for protection is possible in an age of decadance during our modern age with modern technology

certainly somethings never change with people but our tech has

Probs not, as the decline comes from within, factionalism tears civilisation apart

maybe ultimatly that's what will save advanced civilsations while we still live high on the hog so to speak

factionalism you say, interesting

Yeah, divides grow in all societies

GG @Mairon, you just advanced to level 4!
