It would be better off if the South seceded and formed some HRE type empire

Prove me wrong

And revived the Southern gentry

It comes from the idea that loyalty, obligation, or subserviance, to literally anything other than yourself is a weakness. Basically Max Striner.

@Arkona 92 I can't, you only stated a fact

@Arkona 92 I see more states becoming more blue, I don’t see states becoming more red

I've been criticised and told to leave the West because I said family comes first

Even Texas is becoming slightly more blue

That I am against individualism and believe we should strive to benefit society

When worst comes to worst, you can count on me as your roof Korean

It's only a matter of time before we go full Satanic worship in America as the norm

>matter of time

niBBa that is already happening

Nigga I'm italian
We did worse things

Individualism and collectivism is a false dialectic, there can be harmony

Nigga I am volunteering as a sniper when SHTF

However, it does prove that God has a sense of humor, because the "liberty" fanatics always need to rely upon a powerful, supra-personal, entity, either a State or a "community" of common people, that essentially goes against the entire point of individualism and personal liberty in the first place, to secure it.

Capitalism socialism is the same

Roof Korean squad

None of them are either willing, or strong enough, to literally fight for themselves. They just want the appearance of such.

@Arkona 92 How significant is the growth in East Asia?

@Mr. Byzantium of Orthodoxy?

Yeah

I'd have to check

But it's getting there

They have around a combined total of 1.5 mil

Individualists are always steamrolled over by people who aren't retarded, and actually form communities.

"Liberty" lovers are always steamrolled over by people who subject themselves to a strict code of discipline.

@Arkona 92 If you could make an educated guess with factoring in the decline of the West, how soon do you think one would see major moves in East Asia toward Christianity? Within our lifetimes?

@Mr. Byzantium I haven't studied the growth there so I'm pulling things out of my ass (hey I can be a journo), if we look as East Asia growing in Orthodoxy in our lives will be very optimistic. More often than not, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines would have a better rate of growing than say China, Burma, Vietnam, etc given the population size and the retention of Asian Buddhism and Catholicism

I don't expect the Western systems, or anything like them, to rise again for a long time.

Russia will probably be maintained

It’s not part of the EU system

The entire belief on which they're built is that they'll literally never fail, but instead continue to "progress". When they come crashing down, no one will believe that anymore.

Until we forget in a couple thousand years, maybe

Lmao

Is the collapse in our lifetime?

Just the collapse in general

It happened before in Rome, but now that 1800 years have passed, people don't see the cycle again, so it continues.

However Rome never held to this idea of eternal progress, so that ideology has no chance after it collapses.

I thought Rome fell in 410?
