Junger isn't the first person to say this but his anarch concept is basically just taking things in stride historically. Like Spengler said
>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.
Junger says on a similar theme (but less dramatically)
>(the anarch is like) the peasant, who works his plow while armies march across his fields.
Junger again and again says that certain epochs have certain trajectories and limitations. Understanding where you are in history is important. The Titan Age we're in will drag on for another century or two according to him. All in all unfortunately it can be condensed into "hey dude suck it up, it is what it is." This knowledge that things will go where they will can be terrifying but can also be liberating. You can check out and play your own game out of sight from the big forces in the world destroying everything and themselves. The ability to not fall for hype and hysteria is a skill you have to practice these days though. I mean look at how easily whipped up your average white liberal is. It gets exhausting having to care about every single little thing over and over again. No wonder anxiety and depression are so rife.
