Isn't this the guy who wrote at the start of his book that he is happy to see WWI starting, and he expects Germany to win before Christmas?

I like that he's a conservative philosopher in the age of liberal progressiveness but I find his thesis weak and lacking.

Nietzsche has pessimism on suicide watch since 1878.

>Is Western civilization declining or not? First of all, realize that there are no other civilizations left, and there haven't been for centuries, so the predicate "Western" is superfluous and even misleading (since it implies the existence of alternatives). Second, the fact that this question is even raised proves that the vast majority of so-called civilized individuals are nothing of the kind. I mean, you are seriously asking me whether a culture that's about to figure out how to print human organs is declining? What the fuck do all the minor symptoms of decline you are rabidly pointing out to us mean compared to such utterly astonishing and previously even unimaginable accomplishments? Not to mention the arrival of a person who has managed to reach the very end of philosophy itself, which is to say of thought! which is an immeasurably harder and more valuable achievement! (since it was thought which created the theories with the help of which the machines that print human organs were designed in the first place, and so on). — In summa, the only one who is declining here are those who are saying that we are declining, which is a classic case of psychological projection.
>Let's try to view the purported "decline" from a slightly different perspective, so that maybe even some of you retards can finally understand that there's really obviously no such thing. Imagine you were living in the nineteenth century, and someone came along and asked you whether you wouldn't mind tolerating a few "fag pride" parades and some retards on TV screaming that nigger slaves from Africa are equal to you, in exchange for moon landings, relativity and quantum theory, nuclear fission and genome sequencing, as well as countless other mind-bogglingly incredible achievements in all fields of human endeavor. QED, there's no decline, and the only ones who are declining here are those who insist there is.

>not understanding what he means by decline

He's referring to the youthful vigor of a newlyfound civilization which is born out of religiousness

when a civ starts off it is given that its people have huge amounts of babies, because god and whatever

as the civ develops and becomes comfier, making babies becomes more of an economic choice rather than a spiritual duty. thus the population begins to wane, population declines, and so does industry etc.

Every civilization which has ever existed has collapsed. sorry bud. today's nations are simply ghostly shells of their former selves.

Transformation it's not collapse, empires collapse, civilizations continue indefinitely.
