The Prophet of War: The Downfall of the West

The Prophet of War: The Downfall of the West

The West is in cataclysmic decline. Most Westerners donâ€™t realize it, just as the citizens of the Roman Empire in its last years were barely aware that their way of life was nearing its end. In the famous metaphor of the boiling frog, if you put a frog in tepid water and then slowly bring the water to the boil, the frog will fail to perceive the danger and be cooked alive. Western culture is being boiled bit by bit and no one understands what it is happening.

How can you save a declining culture? What actions must be taken?

In his magnum opus "The Decline of the West", published at the end of World War One, the German thinker Oswald Spengler provided a panoramic vision of a decaying civilization. In his theory, there is no escape from our fate. However, ironically, the very fact of his theory provides a way out. Before his work, people would not have comprehended the process they were in, hence could take no remedial action. Because they didnâ€™t know what the question was, they couldnâ€™t find an answer. Now, thanks to Spengler and others, we know the primary reasons why things are failing, and itâ€™s this knowledge that can save us â€¦ if we have the will to implement the solutions.

There is nothing more fatal than the relentless loss of will and resolve in a society. When a people becomes weak-willed, itâ€™s certain to be conquered by a stronger-willed people. Thatâ€™s the law of life. Therefore, the real problem is how to reinvigorate a people, to give them the same strength of will as their ancestors, the great pioneers, explorers, builders and conquerors.

This book is about the theories of Spengler and the theorists inspired by him about how and why cultures and civilizations come to an end, about how they lose their energy and dominance and become weak and second-rate.

Above all, itâ€™s about the means to reverse the decline and to build more glorious cultures and civilizations than have ever existed before.

Humanityâ€™s glory hasnâ€™t reached its end. It has only just begun.
