Western Civilization's Narrative Collapse
How & Why Western 'Elite' are becoming increasingly evil, stupid, lazy & arrogant
Fallen Aristocrats, Empty Corridors, Soft Lighting, Muted Colors, Haunting, Lost Influence.
The rewards of an increasingly integrated global economy have brought forth a new global elite. Labeled 'Davos Men', 'gold-collar workers' or 'cosmocrats', this emerging class is empowered by new notions of global connectedness... Estimated to number about 20 million in 2000, of whom 40 percent were American, this elite is expected to double in size by 2010. Comprising fewer than 4 percent of the American people, these transnationalists have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the elite's global operations.

Prolegomena: Something is gravely amiss in the halls of power. Western 'Elites' & Intelligentsia, once the 'envy of the world,' are today a complete Basket Case:
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the likes of Anthony Blinken, John Kirby, etc., are entirely outmatched by veterans like Sergei Lavrov, Dmitri Medvedev, etc. & it shows every time some feeble attempt is made at 'outreach' towards the Global South:
The Prestige of the Americans has all but evaporated. The Occasional European Diplomat might mouth something semi-intelligent from time to time.
Still, it is Moot courtesy of Washington's grip on European capitals via the Atlanticist architecture of NATO & related organs.
What the Western world is suffering from, writ large, is a comprehensive implosion in the various Narrative structures that undergird it. That this is happening is apparent for all to see:
Most of the discourse concerning 'Human Rights' is today seen by the non-West for what it is, namely, a Secular Religion. Only a mere decade ago, such talk was still being used by activists worldwide to pursue a slew of 'Regime change' activities.Â
These days, however, nobody takes the Western world seriously anymore, & for several critical reasons:
Rust Belt Remnants, Empty Halls, Darkened Windows, Desolate Atmosphere, Silent, Unproductive.
For One, the very values they speak about are tarnished in their own lands. Not too long ago, Canadian truckers were spied upon, had their bank accounts frozen, etc., all for the 'crime' of Free Assembly.Â
Many are still wrongfully imprisoned today, with little hope of getting out!
Be it Speech, Assembly or other Fundamental Rights that Western societies claim to champion, there always seems to be a whole list of 'exceptions' enforced with draconian violence.
Viscerally, this makes pronouncements of the West being the 'civilized world' utterly Moot. What use is this 'civilization' if it means the people are getting such a 'raw deal?'
The only 'value' that escapes the jackboot of tyranny is Mindless Consumerism:Â
Are you willing to trample to death your fellow citizens to 'save a few bucks' on Black Friday? Congratulations! Mr. War Criminal George Bush himself would say, 'Yer fightin' fer free-dumb!'
It's truly a sad state of affairs! Nowadays, one wonders what the point of saying, 'so & so is a First World Country!' even is!
Frankly, it baffles the mind how on earth anyone can still use that designator without being responded to with sheer mockery:
These so-called 'First World Countries' are not even nations anymore. The 'Elite' of said places treat them like Economic zones, where, for some peculiar reason, the only constant seems to be the Mass Migration of people.Â
Any cultural, linguistic, etc., markers are diluted without end until nothing of substance remains:
Yet somehow, this Rootless Cosmopolitanism is supposed to be the 'Strength' of the people? The rest of the world gawks at the sheer stupidity of such childish logic.Â
How does Strength emanate from division? Even a 10-year-old can see through this facade for what it is:
Empty, Meaningless Posturing from the 'Western Elite.'
Lampooning the Elites, Illustration, Exclusive Gathering, Subdued Light, Amusing, Mocking, Satirical Overview
The macro-world they are supposed to be 'leaders of' is in total disarray. In addition to fundamental values being tarnished, there is in the 'Western Elite' this peculiar Double Standard which its sundry vassals & satrapies no longer even bother to hide:
When Russia conducts its SMO, these 'Elite' gasp in 'horror & outrage' that the 'Madman Putin' engages in 'wanton slaughter of innocents, of men, women, children & the elderly' (paraphrased).
According to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen & her sundry lackeys, the crime is so gut-wrenching that all means (even illegal ones!) For example, stealing 300 billion USD of Russia's foreign reserves should be considered!
Yet these very same people utter no such words for the tens of thousands wantonly slaughtered by the genocidal 'Israeli' regime.Â
Perhaps it is stupidity or sheer evil, but most of the time, these unelected bureaucrats appear to be unaware that 'there is a lot of 'noticing' going on!'
Namely, what is known colloquially as 'Arab Street' has all but abandoned these vile simpletons:
In the United States, where 2024 will be a 'contested election year' that will make 1968 look like a summer picnic, Muslim Americans writ large have already begun abandoning 'Genocide Joe' en masse.Â
An entire generation is now entirely lost by the Democrats & their allies, meaning that a Political Earthquake is all but guaranteed in November, lest some other Greater Domestic Upheaval rears its ugly head!
In Europe, similar moves are being made by Muslims & decent-minded folk of other faiths. The 'Elites' are being mocked, scorned, humiliated & abandoned en masse. Social cohesion is, thus, at an all-time low:Â
'Project Ukraine' has already emptied armouries across Continental Europe. The 'Western Elites' know that they have no means to wage war:
Military Decline, Digital Illustration, Neglected Depot, Dim Light, Eroding, Somber, Tactical Arrangement
The people are not behind them. The German farmers have clarified their thoughts about the so-called 'Traffic Light Coalition' via nationwide protests.Â
Similar Populist waves are beginning to sweep across Continental Europe, be they in France, The Netherlands, etc.Â
It is only a matter of time until European governments fall apart, either via the normally exercised election cycle or by some... shall we say... more 'unconventional means!'
The German 'Elite' seems enthusiastic to give the latter a shot as rumours abound that measures are being considered to ban the AfD party from all facets of political life.
Should such a thing happen, it would end the German Republic as we know it:
Given the Mass disenfranchisement of over a quarter of the people, there would be mass social unrest & violence, which would quickly devolve into an Anarchic 'all against all' Clash between said citizenry & the 'government,' by now viewed as utterly illegitimate.Â
In the current climate of Economic decoupling, whereby Cheap Russian Energy & Cheap consumables from China are dead & buried via American tinkering, such a scenario would mean a repeat of 1848:
This time, however, The Springtime of the Peoples will take the form of a Great Peasant Rebellion, forever upending what today passes off as the 'Atlanticist system.'Â
Some people among the 'Elite' recognize this... they 'know the score' as 'based Russian grandpa' Andrei Martyanov loves to say!
This is why there are renewed attempts at 'deflecting matters' in Germany (& the rest of the European vassals).
In Britain, once a Mighty Empire (today a mere Liliputian Vassal to the Empire of Lies), sheer drivel that is not fit to print... is now once more appearing on the various tabloids in said 'nation:'
When all else fails in your society & open rebellion nears... Blame Russia!

Trigger Warning: The level of nonsense & drivel is far too much for anyone of sane disposition to bear without simply going: ‘What a load of utter B******s!’ You have been warned, Dear Readers!
Nothing can be said save for 'Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes!'
The British people unfortunately have to deal with an 'Elite' so heavily in the 'Neoconservative camp' that one wonders how it is that America's 'John Bolton & friends' could be outclassed in the 'Loony bin' department!
Just to give you some perspective, Dear Readers:
The British Armed Forces amount to less than 200,000 individuals. When merely the fighting component of infantrymen is considered (i.e., 'boots on the ground'), the number is so tiny that they can all snugly fit in Wembley Stadium!
& this is the alleged 'Great Power' that goes around lecturing Russia, China, Iran & friends about 'how the International System works?'
There is not enough tissue paper lying around to wipe away the tears of laughter that result from such a farce!
At least the Americans have a force disposition to back up their wanton aggression & related postures against the various nations & people of the world.Â
Britain (& the rest of the European vassals, for that matter) possess no such thing. It is not an accident that Argentina's Milei is already salivating  over how he will be outright annexing the Malvinas Islands:
Given the sheer ineptitude, folly & impotence of British 'leaders,' as well as related European leaders, it is doubtful that much of a meaningful defence can be mounted against a renewed play by the Argentines to seize the islands.Â
The Western world, writ large, is in a denouement phase whereby these & related powerplays will only accelerate & increase in both scale & scope.
As 'Project Ukraine' unravels & Russia nears Total Victory...
& as The Axis of Resistance begins 'choking out' 'Israel' toward inevitable implosion a la Mass Emigration:Â
One may wonder, When & How will this Madness end?
World Gone Mad, Illustration, Collapsing Society, Intense Shadows, Tumultuous, Desperate, Cinematic Overview
By now, Dear Reader, it is apparent that the answer to the question is 'not anytime soon.'
We looked at all the ways regarding 'the How:'
'How is it that Western 'Elite' are becoming increasingly evil, stupid, lazy & arrogant?'
Example after example, time & again, it looks like an entire book could be written just to narrate the various vicissitudes of 'Clown World.'
But what about the 'Why?' Namely, 'Why are they increasingly evil, stupid, lazy & arrogant?'
While it is difficult to figure out the intentions & motives of people, the answer is as simple as 'they don't know any better!'
As nothing more than lesser men & women (a shadow of their forefathers from centuries ago), what keeps them going is mere Inertia.
& so they persist with their grotesque delusions because nothing else remains:
To admit (at this stage 'in the game') that they have 'dropped the ball' is to Ipso Facto admit (via a corollary) that the time of the 'Western world' is over & done with.Â
Superstitions, therefore, abound. The Americans keep sanctioning away & keep bombing away, expecting (like the insane, raving lunatics that they are) that somehow, courtesy of a renewed zeal, motive, intent, etc., 'something more positive will occur.'
What precisely that is... nobody can say!
So the 'Elites' go along with the motions without stopping.
Usually, the cycle goes, 'make a threat, sanction, bomb, invade... repeat!'
However, such tactics are completely moot when dealing with Nuclear-Armed Great Powers (such as Russia & China) against whom only the former two can be employed.
Against Iran, The Axis of Resistance & other 'antifragile' actors, even if the 'whole suite of options' is employed, what follows is nothing more than Economic ruin via the quick-sanding of blood & treasure courtesy of attrition.Â
City Deterioration, Digital Art, Abandoned Streets, Dim Light, Eroding, Somber, Desolate Arrangement
Needless to say, The 'leaders' of the West have reached the Endgame.Â
As they continue their Superstitious rituals, attempting in vain to inflict on members of the non-Western world some form of 'punishment' that will 'finally bring them to heel!' such actions simply alienate them more:
Western 'leaders' have yet to catch on that the evil, stupidity, laziness & arrogance they display are viewed as weakness, not Strength.Â
By the time they do, it will have been too late:Â
Europe will likely have become the Historical Backwater that it has always been, pre-Industrial Revolution.
America, the 'nation with access to the riches of a whole continent,' will undoubtedly fare better:
But it, too (courtesy of its weak leaders), will suffer.
Industry, Manufacturing, Labour, Capital, etc., are not 'coming back.' Indeed, America can still wield its remaining resources & play the role of Great Power in its own backyard (i.e., The New World)
However, until & unless radical changes are made, the nation's very character will implode.
We are already beginning to see the opening signs of such a development, which (if taken to its conclusion) would mean a 'Warring States period' spanning decades &/or a century…
