Who will replace the decadent west as a the dominant culture

Sugar,

I forgot to add,
>What causes powers to fall? Historically

>ITT it's social issues and feminism destroying everything I'm so logical

Whoever improves education enough to not have such a shallow understanding of reality that isn't effected by climactic change to such a degree their economy doesn't suffer.

That's a feature of human nature though.

Science advances at the rate of the smartest people in the entire society, politics advances at the rate of the lowest common denominator.

And no, this isn't unique to democracies.

gaddaffi libya was going to create a gold back currency that would undermine anglo hegemony of fiat centralised banking (tenent of communism) and got fucking BTFO'd for it
likewise saddam with a oil backed monetary unit
2 clear cut case study/exmaples that nothing in this world will develop before the white man does.

if it ever does.

humanity is sort of dragged by violent force by a select technocratic and militant few doing all the arm and leg work of whatever is decided to be done whilst the rest sort of gets dragged along behind it, society etc

Hopefully the far east, probaby the middle east

>>1607301

yes. Nothing lasts forever.

My theory is that China will become the new superpower.

Certain African countries will become what Australia is to America, booming in wealth (because we also do a shit load of deals with the Chinese) OR it may turn into something along the lines of the EU (due to different countries, different cultures, different economies etc)

America will fall. DT won't be able to save the economy, due to these factors listed in this video. HOWEVER, take heart, this is only a POSSIBILITY.

As for the rest, hard to say. Muslim countries may start seeing a cultural change and start adopting principles of more freedom of expression as reflected in the west (take a gander at the IRANIAN men wearing the hijab/ burka)

But that's just my theory.

If China becomes the superpower, Australia will grow more in power.
We are currently closer allies to China then we are to the United States, they are our central trading partner and also own quite a high percentage of our land.
Following Prime Ministers Whitlam and Rudd, our international relations with China has become perhaps our greatest driving force for our economy and a huge part of our diplomacy with other countries even/

>>1607301
China, Japan and South Korea.

China can only develop off the back of one crop and that's hemp. Likewise rest of the world.

Probably Middle East/muslims

>>1609251
The russians, chinese, the SEA region are all more likely to take over as the dominant region instead of the middle east. The middle east is too divided and too backwards to gain economical superiority.

Hedonists who have a tiny bit of means to sustain their hedonism dream of only one thing: that they are not as hedonistic as they are. They want to feel meritorious, challenged and have depth (more so when boredom hits them) in delaying their quest for more pleasure and less pains, and they fail (since shame and merit is just a fantasy to feel good), but only to feel better pleasure in feeling more debased when they get back to their moments of explicit hedonism and thinking that they take a break form their meritorious attitudes.


People who cannot manage to find the means of their hedonism just dream of being hedonist and they do not imagine that even when the means are here, they will still feel unfulfilled sooner or later.
and the schmucks who fail to have the means of their hedonism cling to their fantasy of morality, since they have nothing else.

那些中國人,對妳真地說先輩. Autistic imperium.
But we in modernity now son. The world is often too wide to escape. The rice people have come to show themselves as the usual most civilised place, but we may have added to spice of imperialism to them by making everything within reach. Modernity may have been a suicide spiral for European culture. The recovery could be more assertive US globalism, but that meme could decay. Instead, white people might turn back towards their roots. Paganism, the Holy Roman Empirrre†††, while the Chinese gnaw at their border, and a new conflict with the caliphate brews. Hard choices.
Also the China that we come to know could be a highly 'Westernised' China, but without Western goals. The snow people (Russia) would probably continue their goals and possibly become the lead of a nationist-ised Europe. Then maybe want to take back Constantinopolis.

Oh my fucking god, this board used to be good, and now look at this shit. This entire thread is meaningless word-salad bullshit. Take this fucking garbage to /x/ where it belongs.

How is that even remotely edgy?

>>1609452
Ideologically speaking aside

We are.

They are our greatest economic ally.
Our international relations plan seems to focus on strengthening our already extremely strong ties to China.


Yes we are still influenced on a large scale by the United States, but this has been on a decline since the Whitlam era.

Why is everyone saying China when they are already more decadent then the west before they have even come to power?

Go to Wenzhou and tell me if you honestly think that these people can avoid destroying themselves within the next few decades.

>when they are already more decadent then the west

What the fuck does this even mean?
If not being decadent = starving to death on the streets, then yeah China is decadent.

>just anecdote my anecdote and therefore random unsupported claim
Okay

>>1610289
Decadent as an adjective refers to cultural and moral decline. This can happen at any level of wealth.

China is a cultural cesspool full of the biggest assholes I have ever met. These people would stew a baby to make a buck.

That's cute she's walking a pig.

>>1610289
the race to just gain raw material wealth which we see in every chinese family right now, and I know this is just one incident but that case of the child getting run over by the car and people just walking by wanting nothing do do with it, if that's any indictaion of the moral backbone and unity of the nation where people just don't want to get in trouble and just stay quiet and continue to walk by becasue they're desperate to stay on the current trajectory of gaining more wealth, then they're definitely more decadent than the west.
They're not socialist in any way other than how their government operates. They may have a strong consensus needed in social life, but there's no real compassion or feeling of unity in any other way.
