I don't particularly like arguing that Europe was at its best when it was called Christendom to get people to convert to Christianity because if God decides not to save the Western Civilization, it doesn't really negate the truth of Christianity. And if God calls people to martyrdom, they may not be able to give up their lives to Christ if they were led to Christianity hoping to preserve an earthly kingdom.
But in the coming weeks, I will be posting a lot of quotes and passages from Thomas E. Woods' How the Catholic Church Built the Western Civilization because I think it's important to understand the mindset of people in the middle ages as they built the western civilization so we can imitate them in trying to rebuild this civilization after the damages done by the Enlightenment.
And I see a lot of pagan white nationalists and alt-right Catholics wanting to defend the Western Civilization with the philosophy of non-Christian writers like Julius Evola, Savitri Devi, René Guénon, Alain de Benoist, Yukio Mishima (and others) but those writers weren't there in the beginning to build the foundation of Western Civilization. I'm not saying they're wrong about everything but the seeds of truth found in their false ideologies ultimately find their completeness in the Catholicism. And why only have one food from the select menu of a cafeteria if you can have the whole buffet? From Catholicism that is.

"The shadowy side of real life is ignored, and Western Christianity provides us with nothing which can be used to interpret it. Thus the young men of the West are unable to deal with the mixture of light and shadow of which life really consists; they have no way of linking the facts of existence to their preconceived notions of absolutes".

WAKE UP TO THE REVOLUTION
Decay The West’s preoccupation with material wealth and economic growth is a sign of its moral decadence and spiritual poverty. The recent history of the West is a tale of moral decline, in which those robust virtues needed to build a civilisation have been slowly corrupted by materialism and complacency.  Our nations have become geographical areas without purpose where our governing class, in…

Say what you will about the racist, fascist, lying, cheating money whore politicians that were in charge when I was growing up, they were at least smart enough not to get caught red handed in a very public fashion most of the time.
Side note: the introduction of the phrase, “this is the new normal”, doesn’t bode well for the future. It’s just going to keep getting worse, and people will foolishly keep accepting it in the vain hope that things will return to the old normal.

Quote
Capitalism has increasingly lost the competitive character that shaped its ascendence. Today, its giants often collude even as they fight among themselves—like the daimyo in medieval Japan. What competition remains comes from other giants rather than from plucky upstarts. Microsoft now controls 90 percent of all operating system software. Three tech firms now account for two-thirds of all online advertizing revenues, which now represent the vast majority of all ad sales. Once paragons of entrepreneurial vigor, these firms have morphed into exemplars of “tollbooth capitalism,” and receive revenues on transactions that far exceed anything they lose in failed ventures and acquisitions. Finance, too, has become markedly more concentrated, with the number of banks in the US down a full third since 2000 while Europe experiences a slower, but similar consolidation. Global investing is now dominated by a handful of companies, the five largest of which control over 45 percent of all assets in the US compared to under 30 percent 20 years ago. The five largest investment banks control roughly one-third of investment funds; the top 10 control an absolute majority. For the most part, these firms hated Donald Trump. This partly owed to understandable revulsion at his character, but it was also due to his hostility to China, his opposition to the cheap labor provided by immigration, and his support for efforts to break up big tech firms. They therefore united to make massive contributions to electoral efforts to remove him, a move later celebrated in Time magazine.
Joel Kotkin, “Three Paths to Despotism” (October 18th 2022).

I don’t like evangelizing Christianity by pointing out that Europe was better as Christendom than during its pagan days because if God decides to call people to martyrdom, they might not be able to die for the Faith if they were led to Christianity thinking it would preserve material benefits.
And if God decides not save the Western Civilization, it doesn’t negate the truth of Christianity.
There are no martyrs for materialist ideology.

"A sign which almost always accompanies the decadence of an aristocracy is the invasion of humanitarian sentiments and delicate ‘sob-stories’ that render it incapable of defending its position. We must not confuse violence and force. Violence usually accompanies weakness. We can observe individuals and classes, who, having lost the force to maintain themselves in power, become more and more odious by resorting to indiscriminate violence. A strong man strikes only when it is absolutely necessary — and then nothing stops him. Trajan was strong but not violent; Caligula was violent but not strong".

The West is Best
I watched a video last night against my better judgement. You can too if you want to, although I don’t recommend it. It’s called The REAL Reason Europe Took Over the World. It’s just the thing if you’re woke enough to think Howard Zinn was  far right and that Lenin was center-right. If that’s you, enjoy, don’t bother comenting because you’ve been so brainwashed that I’m sure you enjoy the green…

In our own world, much more is demanded in the name of true equality. In fact, we’re not allowed to focus on any other ideal until this one is fully realized. And if our democratic egalitarian idealism creates its own contradictions, we must live with those as well.
Paul Gottfried, (September 1st 2022).

This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, highminded lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such, turn away
2 Timothy 3 KJV Bible
