Capitalism is at the heart of social decay. The general atrophy of culture, family, and appreciation of artistic merit are directly related to the economic developments it has fostered since the industrial revolution. In capitalism the only merit is growth and consumption, and everything else isn't even secondary.
If the emphasis should be on integrity, heroism and sacrifice, shouldn't capitalism be one of the first things to go? With its exaltation of profit in place of virtue, and the veneration of capital over principle?
Yet whenever this point is brought up almost all western "traditionalists" have this knee-jerk reaction in defense of capital and its controllers. They will point their fingers at migrants (invited by the capitalist class) or common ethnic enemies (witheconomically rational motives), while being completely oblivious to how the mechanization of capitalism were already thinning out Europe's diverse landscape, and uprooting communities before the first non-western labor migrants arrived after WW2. (Did the "Jews" also smother the Occitans? Attempt to wipe out the Scots and the Irish?)
It's curious that when the Nazis (The supposed restorers of civilization) rampaged through Europe, they not only killed millions of Europeans, but also threatened to obliterate Europe's cultural heritage. (see the journals of Albert Speer, Dietrich von Choltitz, Goering and confessions)
Or compare the US to the USSR. The latter being a "Culturally Marxist" hellhole where the high arts flourished almost right up until it's dissolution, while the "traditional","god fearing" US ended up supporting the wonders of "modern art" and promoted a culture of hedonism that later spread worldwide.
Can someone explain what kind of cognitive dissonance is at play here, why "Traditionalism" can't seem to untether itself from capitalism, and what leads the "Defenders of Western Civilization" to fellate the very ziocon billionaires that sold them out in the first place?
