Whiggish history is bullshit. Dialectical materialism is a sham.

Democracy is a tool of the rich to supplant the aristocracy.

Spengler said that total colapse was going to take some time.

That's not how it works.

He also dates it to ~100 years from now.

Hmm, there is no "collapse" in Spengler.

A civilization can persist for a LONG time after it's done using up all its M E T A P H Y S I C S

Spengler said that the last phase of stagnation and powerlessness of institutions that allows foreign conquest (which doesn't happen by itself, so a stagnant empire can last for a while) will happen after 2200.

In contrast, for 2000+ he saw the rise of caesarism (rule by charismatic, violent populists that overthrow the previous increasingly alienated and capital-based elites) coupled with second religiosity (syncretic forms of religiousness that focus on puritannical ideas of morality rather than tradition or inner experience).

So yeah, with Trump-Pence we're just 17 years behind schedule.

SJWs seem rather puritanical don't they?

Second religiosity is discussed elsewhere though and I don't have the book with me to take a photo.

And not to brag, but that's a photo from my 1921 black bound edition that I got in mint condition for equivalent of like $12.
