Understanding the Self-Destruction of Western Civilization on 3 levels; Sociological, Intellectual and Archetypal So I was watching Sargon of Akkad's dissection of the flak John Cleese copped for stating the perfectly obvious (that London is no longer an English city - in fact, it now has less than 50% of its 30 million inhabitants identifying as White British)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAeJJYvSok0 and this comes on top of me following the extraordinary work of the Grievance Studies scandal whereupon 3 Left wing academics revolted against the madness of their politically correct peers , and the Evergreen College meltdown where SJWs took their university Dean hostage for 2 days while persecuting him over his 'white privilege'  ( these are very educationally tracked through the work of doco producer Mike Nayna. Gorge yourselves on his channel  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzk08fzh5c_BhjQa1w35wtA ) I also spoke in my post about how we just lost our 2 other moderators Shizy and Srayzie as casualties of a Vanity Complex of Conservative freedom of speech 'absolutists' which was weaponised by our Progressive shill enemies - and the mirror image Vanity complex of the Left is particularly central to the decline of Western Civ.  and I thought I might string together a summary of the Decline and Jeopardy of Western Civilization from 3 levels of thought analysis : Sociological, Intellectual and Archetypal.   Many of you here might be acquainted with one or two of these, here's my take on all three if it serves to plug any gaps in your appreciation of our current predicament SOCIOLOGICAL: This strikes me as the most commonly understood aspect of Western Decline among frequent posters here: Political Correctness, aka Cultural Marxism, aka Social Justice. It's march through the Institutions of Western Civilization has, in the last decade , reached a certain saturation point. Essentially, the ideological advance of the 'Progressive' agenda is such that adherence to Political Correctness is the core determinant of our SOCIAL STATUS. Other historical arbiters of Social Status - like being wealthy, pretty, or influential - are now essentially all subordinate to the Social Status of being Virtuous in terms of Social Justice. Meaning - it doesnt matter how successful you are in any other capacity - one small slip in Social Justice can see your immediate and total Fall From Grace. I regard Roseanne Barr's cancellation of a $100 million contract for a singular tweet presumed to be racist - about a subject whom Roseanne didnt even KNOW had some partial racial heritage of the assumed 'victimised racial group' - to be a good case in point. INTELLECTUAL  What are the Intellectual underpinnings of Political Correctness / Cultural Marxism ? Political Correctness obviously seeks 'social equality' - and that in and of itself isnt dangerous. However, what makes it dangerous are the logical fallacies within the Framework Leftists have been using to try and achieve - or maintain - that goal. Essentially what makes Political Correctness a force of destruction over a span of decades is a complex matter, but the two most crucial features are what i call PoMoFooko  PomoFooko stands for 'Post Modernism' + 'Foucault' (pronounced fooko). Why is this a dangerous combination ? Defenders of Post-Modernism argue that PoMo is a 'neutral' intellectual force. Post Modernism as an intellectual framework is to break down any aspect of culture and history into component parts, and then reconstruct them into something new and different. Like when Picasso does a life drawing and comes up with a semi-abstracted mash of the woman model being drawn. The ting about the Creative Arts, though - is that its a CREATIVE medium - you HAVE to recreate something from what you have Deconstructed - or else you have no product to show for But in POLITICS - you dont HAVE to re-construct anything. Just destroy. There's no obligation to re-construct anything. And thats what Foucault tells us we SHOULD do Michel Foucault was a French intellectual (1926 - 1984) who effectively was a complete sociopath, but the Left thought he was virtuous - so theyve built their entire current framework on his LOGICAL FALLACY Foucault essentially took the logical Fallacy of Karl Marx and MAGNIFIED it. As Jordan Peterson eloquently explains, Marx misunderstood the 'flaw' of capitalism. Marx said that the defining problem of the hierarchy within capitalist structures was that it was based on Exploitation. Peterson, to summarise, says that while that is a not uncommon accompaniment to capitalist structures, hierarchies are based on COMPETENCE : The more competent people are the more they are rewarded via elevation through ranks in order to increase productivity & profitability Foucault's world view was even more hostile to hierarchy . He said that ALL hierarchy is based on 'exploitation' - not just in workplaces. This means ANY expression of Authority is sinful : even as a teacher is unto their students, or as parents are unto their children. so if you've wondered at the Globalists 'intention to destroy the family unit' , and the near total loss of classroom power that teachers now have with which to fend off increasingly violent & entitled students : thats IT. That's the SOURCE. Fucking Foucault Beyond the PoMoFooko aspect, another significant contributor was the Left's abandonment of Objectivity in preference for Subjectivity. Thats why a man subjectively identifyng as a woman is accepted as such by the Left, whereas the Right will say 'er - youve got a dick. Objectively - ur a dude, dude' so essentially the Left wing Academia is producing graduated who think the demolition of any system of hierarchy is a virtuous and noble thing. Like 'abolishing I.C.E.' border force. Because to them, the 'government : citizen : non citizen' is a hierarchy of rights and entitlements that must serve no purpose other than exploitation I should add that 'Applied Post Modernism' is also a primary cause of the increasing political polarisation between Left and Right and the breakdown in communication. This is bc Leftist PoMo's feel entitled to apply post modernism to language, meaning that they alter the definitions of words and phrases for political expedience. Thus when a Leftist and a Rightist argued about racism in 1989, they both argued from reasonably identical word definitions. But in 2019, the Left and Right virtually speak different languages. ARCHETYPAL Essentially Western Civilization is in the 3rd, final, destructive phase of a Post WW2 Vanity complex. Here's a detailed Memetic that I'll summarize below.  A Vanity complex comes in 3 phases: 1) the pursuit of something good or beautiful 2) neglect and jeopardy through the obsession of pursuit 3) Self destruction through the hatred of not being able to maintain or obtain it. (That's why AntiFa are violent. They no longer 'love' pursuing social justice. They have descended into hatred of not being able to obtain / maintain) Western Civilization drafted the 1951 Universal Declaration of Human Rights out of Love for social equality. We now draft policies that actively seek to punish people - especially whites, out of Hatred for their non-compliance (or any mere APPEARANCE of non-compliance, such as the Covington Catholic incident). We even call them 'Hate Speech' laws - as a function of projection so that's it. Lets summarize those 3 again: the Suicide of Western Civilization is down to  SOCIOLOGICAL - Political correctness being our core arbiter of Social Status INTELLECTUAL - PoMoFooko, & ARCHETYPAL - the 3rd, final, self destructive phase of a collective post WW2 Vanity Complex
