This was said in 1920:

Spengler presents a memorably glum picture of a civilization’s decline. Culturally distinct towns evolve into monstrous cosmopolitan “megalopolises”. Concentrated wealth rules under the pretext of democracy. In the West’s civilizational phase, the people’s very thoughts are controlled by the press. Eventually, plutocratic sham-democracy gives way to naked tyranny, and the new Caesars reign over the long centuries of a civilization’s “winter”, until a new culture arises with a new vision, and the cycle repeats. Spengler claims that the West began entering its civilization phase around 1800. The process is inevitable—to resist it would be pointless

Stop writing and become a STEM fag or join a party.

Yes, read Spengler. Anyone who attempts to discuss civilization/culture without mentioning Spengler is either ill informed or disingenuous. He was literally 100% right and we are living in the winter of Faustian civilization. Its decline formally began with the enlightenment and the French revolution.
