Did humanity peak in the Edwardian period?

>>3382082
You surely mean culture, right?
Because the information age is by far the best time to live in human history when it comes to everything besides culture

Western civilization did, yes. This was the absolute apogee of our civilization. This was us reaching the heavens and god destroying our tower(ww1)

we are now crashing hard from that peak, that's why we are flooded by enemies from all over the world, our women raped by them, our people murdered by them, our shops and homes looted by them, right in our heartland, in our cities and capitals, our art destroyed, our religion, our past, our heroes all mocked and insulted right in our faces, the mad have taken over the madhouse, everything is upside down, cats and dogs living together, our population literally dying out and decreasing in number

on the upside we have progressed somewhat technology wise(but everything we have is merely an upgrade of all that was invented and discovered in those glory days)

morally and socially we have degraded completely to primitive caveman days

No. Europe certainly did, but I believe we are currently witnessing peak humanity in our own time and humans as a species will start to decline around 2050 as even renewable resources start to run out.

>>3382082
Absolutely. It was an Eden the likes of which will never be witnessed again.

>>3382110
there were plenty of people in the Victorian age who were just as convinced about how decadent their societies were and that they were in decline. Oswald Spencer might be the most famous from thinkers claiming that Western Civilization had lost its way, but fears that Western Society was morally corrupt and declining are all over the place then.They were much less convinced than you that they lived in a perfect era, although they certainly shared the belief that they were superior to others...

Look, I think the Belle Epoque is a very fascinating era, that "Western Civilization" was at its peak of dominance at that point, but in no way was it some paradise unless you were an aristocrat or robber baron or if you're some steampunk faggot.

Partly for my own benefit, I looked up these kings:

Standing, L-R:
> King Haakon VII of Norway (25% Danish, 25% German, 25% Swedish, 25% Dutch)
> King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria (25% German, 25% Hungarian, 50% French)
> King Manuel II of Portugal (25% Portuguese, 25% Italian, 50% French)
> Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany (75% German, 25% English)
> King George I of Greece (75% German, 25% Danish)
> King Albert I of Belgium (50% German, 25% Belgian, 25% French)

Seated, L-R:
> King Alfonso XIII of Spain (50% Spanish, 50% Austrian)
> King George V of Great Britain (25% English, 50% German, 25% Danish)
> King Frederik VIII of Denmark (75% German, 25% Danish)

>>3382110
>Albert has his eye on Wilhelm
Does he know?

>>3382642

Wilhelm was infamous for his "erratic" behavior long before WW1.

>>3382658
I'm well of Wilhem being a turbo-autist

>>3382110
We can see that George of England is the alpha here.

The omega Wilhelm hides his withered hand again.

Humanity peaked in 1969.

yes, that is a common belief among people since forever, even the ancient greeks believed their ancients were superior to them

>although they certainly shared the belief that they were superior to others...
there is no doubt that western civilization surpassed all other civilizations in that point in time, in fact, i'd even argue that all other civilizations have been absorbed by western civilization and today the entire world is part of it

if you think i believe europeans are racially superior you are wrong

>>3382561
yes the threat of nuclear war has turned actual wars into proxy wars, how civilized, as i said in my post, technologically we have advanced no doubt

You mean eurangutan's "hegemony". Don't worry, the world will keep moving after your inferior race gets wiped out of the earth's surface.

>“So gorgeous was the spectacle on the May morning of 1910 when nine kings rode in the funeral of Edward VII of England that the crowd, waiting in hushed and black-clad awe, could not keep back gasps of admiration. In scarlet and green and blue and purple, three by three the sovereigns rode through the palace gates, with plumed helmets, gold braid, crimson sashes, and jeweled orders flashing in the sun. After them came five heirs apparent, forty more imperial or royal highnesses, seven queens – four dowager and three regnant – and a scattering of special ambassadors from uncrowned countries. Together they represented seventy nations in the greatest assemblage of royalty and rank ever gathered in one place and, of its kind, the last. The muffled tongue of Big Ben tolled nine by the clock as the cortege left the palace, but on history’s clock it was sunset, and the sun of the old world was setting in a dying blaze of splendor never to be seen again.”

All that bullshit built over the corpses of millions of Amerindians. God gave you free will and you commited crimes against humanity with it. That's why God is erasing your inferiot existence from the entire planet.

How do you define "surpassed"?
Certainly Western civilization, if such a thing exists, was materially superior, but it is very difficult to judge a civilization as superior/inferior because there are so many value judgements which are impossible to empirically.

desu more blacks enjoy a high quality of life in the modern age because of that event, also who invented vaccinations, cured most diseases, painless surgery, viable and efficient farming, the template for almost all modern civilisation, etc

>>3385727
So whites enslaved blacks and treated them like shit out of kindess, so the descendants of those blacks who survived could have access vaccine?

>>3385731
meekness /= benevolence or virtue
also most people slave, the european thrall of serf is actually treated relatively well, americans only went for their extreme because of the "muh freedom" cultural trait.

So other than Americans, whites are really kind, eh?

>>3385701
Serious question: If you think your grand-children will be replaced, what exactly are you imagining? Have they never been born, were they murdered, relocated?

>>3385753
as the population increases the birth rate drops as the individual families are poorer (less jobs). migrants are funneled into europe at a far faster rate than natives can possibly replenish themselves.

>>3385749
once again, meekness isnt goodness. they did this because it was best for humanity (even if you disagree you cant claim it wasnt their understanding)

>>3385775
So whatever crimes whites commit, it is a sign of kindness, right?

>>3385779
environmental destruction via greedy industrialisation isnt,
shitting on china's culture for a brief moment wasnt,
nuking japan debatably wasnt,
american's poor treatment of native americans wasnt
there are a few, not more so other people and i think the good parts should be also considered. the cultural trait of benevolence is present, see the low crime rate for that i think. you are buying into the narrative of political correctness yet it doesnt match up with historical fact, perhaps consider not being so easily led next time.

>>3385792
Don't worry, your "benevolence" trait will be shown on Museums after you get back to europe and get erased from the erath's surface.

when television dies are the internet becomes the primary method of dispersing and mutating memes, the monopoly that the moneypower has over curation of worldview will fade into nothingness and the will of human sincerity will control information again. the replacement will not happen and europe will continue to live.

>>3385825

>>3385775
The population in western countries isn't increasing though. Even the recent influx of immigrants didn't change the overall trend of a decreasing population.
And even if it was true, and the western countries would become poorer due to an increasing population (as it is the case in some african countries), this would probably not lead to a lower birth rate, since a higher rate of poverty is actually linked with higher birth rates.

>>3385856
The Amerindian world had a higher development rate with more disadvantages compared to the european world. Yet they were genocided by europeans. It's europe's turn to get mongreliced and replaced. Don't you agree?

Agree with what? that it's happening, yes i agree, i made a whole post about it. Will it happen? Who knows, maybe we'll turn it around, lots of people are awakening about it, maybe we won't. It's a pity but what can you do. It's a unique situation, we are being destroyed mostly by ourselves, the amerindians were destroyed by a superior and more powerful civilization

>>3385951
>we are being destroyed mostly by ourselves
Irrelevant, all sides have traitors.

The Amerindians were destroyed by disease brought by europeans. There were a lot more deaths by disease than militar deaths.

If you agree with european genocide, it's no use to keep whining over here.
