If people are still hysterical after reading Spengler they just don't get it.

>i cant see any really good quotes about phenomena that occurred exactly as Spengler predicted.

>“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.”
― Oswald Spengler, Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life

>Did you read it all the way through?
No, it's almost impossible because each page can take a considerable amount of time to digest. I think the central thesis is surely correct when we just look at perception and action that exists in modernity outside of European controlled areas. It's common knowledge in Africa and parts of the Middle East conceptions of time and punctuality are nonexistent in much of the population. One thing "left" wing reactionaries are correct about is our "Eurocentric" view of history. Once the white world falls the feats of European innovation and the great cities of past will be a footnote as the Magian cultures are to us.
