Daily reminder that Decline of the West is not enough, you must read Prussian Socialism as well as Man and Technics in order to truly appreciate le breakingbadbaldman

That's how you know the decline of the west is truly inevitable. People may rationally recognize that something is "wrong", but they don't really have it in them to change anything. We are all ailing rationalists waiting for the end to come.

To disregard the metaphysical is one of the inevitable outcomes of the Faustian thought-form. The theory of limits is the best representation of its soul, and as we delineate them (or rather fail to), the despair and anger of hard materialism is not only valid but a healthy response.

Reactionary sentiments are merely a death rattle, a reflex similar to that of a decapitated chicken. The arrogant notion that we are able to exert control on the thoughtform and the course of civilizations.

Jesus Christ, have you taken your doctor's degree on the Oswald University of Purple Proseness?
Like, I get it. It's your way to write, fair enough, but gee op, try to keep simple sometimes, because a unecessary way to write can also affect your work negatively.

Are there many differences between the abridged and unabridged versions of Decline of the West?

You're going to be blown to pieces if you want to make a moral argument of slavery in "the west" vs "the islamic world" and it being worse here.

Saudi didn't abolish it until 1962, under British pressure.

You can start with that, and click on the sources. I'll also tell you now you haven't backed up any of your own assertions.

I'm bored to tears of total asshats hating Christianity, myself being an atheist, then saying "yeah it wasn't as bad" then being assumed to be a defender of the faith. You're just a god damn imbecile who hates the west and wants some more reasons to, so you believe whatever shit you find....fairly simple concept.

Christian theology is the grandmother of one of the worst things to plague the modern world, marxism......so blame it for that because Islam wouldn't help that shit along.

Here we have beginning and end clashing together. Dostoyevski is a saint, Tolstoi only a revolutionary. From Tolstoi, the true successor of Peter, and from him only, proceeds Bolshevism, which is not the contrary, but the final issue of Petrinism, the last dishonouring of the metaphysical by the social, and ipso facto a new form of the Pseudomorphosis. If the building of Petersburg was the first act of Antichrist, the self-destruction of the society formed of that Petersburg is the second, and so the peasant soul must feel it. For the Bolshevists are not the nation, or even a part of it, but the lowest stratum of this Petrine society, alien and western like the other strata, yet not recognized by these and consequently filled with the hate of the downtrodden. It is all megalopolitan and "Civilized" — the social politics, the Intelligentsia, the literature that first in the romantic and then in the economic jargon champions freedoms and reforms, before an audience that itself belongs to the society. The real Russian is a disciple of Dostoyevski. Although he may not have read Dostoyevski or anyone else, nay, perhaps because he cannot read, he is himself Dostoyevski in substance; and if the Bolshevists, who see in Christ a mere social revolutionist like themselves, were not intellectually so narrowed, it would be in Dostoyevski that they would recognize their prime enemy. What gave this revolution its momentum was not the intelligentsia's hatred. It was the people itself, which, without hatred urged only by the need of throwing off a disease, destroyed the old Westernism in one effort of upheaval, and will send the new after it in another. For what this townless people yearns for is its own life-form, its own religion, its own history. Tolstoi's Christianity was a misunderstanding. He spoke of Christ and he meant Marx. But to Dostoyevski's Christianity the next thousand years will belong.

Was he right?

What do you guys think of Oswald Spengler and his book The Decline of the West?
