It's interesting to compare the Spengler's ideas with Kaczynski's, and how they both think our civilization will be fucked eventually, but have completely different responses to that fact. Spengler saying we should fight to preserve civilization despite the fact its fucked is completely contradictory goes in complete contrast with Kaczynski advocating assisting in the destruction of industrial society. Where Spengler upholds concepts like nobility and destiny, Kaczynski doesn't really give a shit and is more concerned with the physical and material. Spengler wants the collapse to be a long and glorious last stand, while Kaczynski just wants to rip of the band-aid. Both, however, have a fondness for a time long past, while still looking forward and preparing for the future. To borrow a phrase from Evola, we must "ride the tiger" of modernity until it collapses, so that we can build anew.
