You all celebrating the fall of the West don't understand what you're really celebrating. Through the centuries we go through periods of optimism; the latest being the victorian utopianists with their world's fairs and thoughts about improving humanity with technology. That came to an end when the new technology was used for ww1, and the subsequent ideologies that sprung up (namely fascism and later neoliberalism) were born out of pessimism and the realization that THE WEST IS DYING.
Now we're in another period of optimism (coinciding with the computer revolution) and the world is all about global cooperation and the end of an era. It's an essentially enlightenment idea and once the west falls further (inevitable) this period of optimism will end too. The world will become a massive shithole, and even if perhaps the end of the enlightenment and its dominance on thought is a good thing, you all have to realize that that's what you're celebrating with the death of the west. There will be no "globalization" because that simply won't be a thing because the philosophy behind it has faded because the west committed suicide.

The image of the west ("whites") as a guiding figure in the world is delusional. People associate that worldview with traditionalists or right-wing politics or whatever, but it's the opposite. 20th century fascists were among the few to realize the implications of post-enlightenment leftist thought that the world could bind together in a utopia by the power of global solidarity by either tearing down tradition through capital or through "class consiousness".
These ideas are delusional and, as you say, totally western in nature and concerned with progress and finitude. They are doomed to fail without the west, because the west is their backbone, and yet their very proponents celebrate the death of the west with glee and spit on its grave. Their utopia will never, ever come to pass. The west needs now only to try and maintain itself and die with something approximating dignity. Dissolve the eu and replace it with something without such high altruistic philosophy behind it for example. Stop this apathetic attitude among westerners.
As for the rest of the world, it will realize what happened after this century's period of optimism is over. But again as I said, the west is not the leader of the misguided rest of the world, that notion is ridiculous. The rest of the world will get on just fine. It will probably be shittier for a while but it will eventually even out as the tides of globalization and westernization die down forever.
People just need to realize what they're cheering for; it's not a global utopia. Maybe a global utopia doesn't deserve to be cheered for.
