admit it, they suck
their critique of technology reads like a variation of the scene where charlie chaplin is stuck between giant steel cogs. they had no confidence in improved conditions at all.
authors like spengler have enormous erudition and seem to have absorbed every important treatise that had been written in 19th and early 20th century, but they couldnt grasp any of the more recent big transformations, like the power of USA or actual progress in soviet union (which they thought to be 100% propaganda). it was all continental circlejerk over clausewitz or napoleon, still thinking about solutions to 19th century problems. their knowledge of USA was lousy.
and their enthusiasm for hero-leaders together with the "intuition over rationality"-trend were completely btfo with the real life experiment called hitler.
the catholicboos were just used as a channel for antibolshevist fear mongering. nobody cared for catholicism at this point, the fascists all turned out to be nihilists with nazis as high priests of nihilism.
