>Nothing is ever done for non-economic reasons

Reducing the whole of Human history to religious fervour/chivalrous enthusiasm/philistine sentimentalism/etc would be just as stupid, though.

The Marxist propensity to find economics at the heart of everything is a symptom of autism.

>Fourth, the whole "decline of Western civilization" thing ignores the fucked up shit that Western civilization has gotten up to
I don't see how that makes the rather obviously apparent decline any less real. The point he makes is one about culture, in the past we had ideals and embraced that in our stories and today we only have nihilism. It's about myth versus modernist drivel, not about your white guilt and empty secular morals.

>I don't know if I want to be male or female myself
What does it matter what you want to be? You are what you are, fate has already decided for you. Perhaps I'd rather be a beast than a man but that doesn't change my nature. It is okay to dream but don't let it become delusion.
