Women have no self-awareness except for the 1% of highly intelligent ones that voice the greatest of feminist rhetoric despite being heavily marginalised by their own group.

Truth of the matter, women are inane followers. There's no helping it, we need a fascist resuscitation in the West to deal with all of the cancers in a way becoming of our nature. No Holocaust, but thorough pogroms of all those who refuse the Cross.

I don't see how not being remembered would necessarily imply that one "died a failure." Maybe the human creature is most "successful" when it knows its limits and seeks only those pleasures that a thing made from clay can understand and make its own.

That’s what I call a regression to the middle. Apes gave rise to man, the spiritual blossoming which this whole earth with all its torments served as but a rehearsal, with the black man standing in the middle between ape and human natures. Man then reshaped the world and made it beautiful for a split second, but regression to the middle ran its inevitable course. Not men, but ape-men will inherit the earth. The whole history of high culture and civilization was a freak, a transient peak before the inevitable normalization.

Not really. In japan, elder houses are more and more the norm for elders. As for shitskins, they just don't use elders house because in their countries, infrastructures are archaic, or if they are in the west, they are too poor to pay for it.
In any case, since you seem to be an idealist cuck, let me explain to you one more time. It is not the ideas which define the living condition. Instead, it is the conditions of the production which define the way of life. Not some silly ideas. Humans believe in the power of ideas way too much. Time to stop believing in captain america.

I'm one of those minority white Latinos descendant of French and Irish and I emigrated to Europe. One of the things me and my family love about our home country is the family culture. What people here do to their elderly is cruel, they should be helping rise your children at your home.

This is cringe and cope. It is a feature of an advanced culture to recognize the individuality and desire for freedom and to facilitate the emancipation of the individual from ancestral financial and moral normativity. Association with elderly relatives should be based on mutually voluntary association and the state enables this by acting as a mediator and removing the responsibility of care for the elderly person.

Fucking no, you don't need the state or any institution. Me and my family have full intention of living together voluntarily despite society not being designed for it. It is an emotional link we simply don't feel like breaking. We often talk about how people in Europe celebrate the New Year and go somewhere far away leaving their relatives alone at their home. We ask them why they don't spend New year's with them and they respond that old people don't want to go to party. That only looks like a voluntary agreement, but it is not. In my third world country New Year's is celebrated with whole families coming together to someone's house, elderly included, everyone voluntarily agrees to meet and have fun, including the elderly who wish to reunite with their families. And the young people want to see them. Believing old people WANT to be left alone and that the young would prefer to ignore quality family time so they can watch fireworks somewhere is a sign you have lost connection with your true nature. No wonder there are so many suicides, soul searching for meaning, midlife crisis, anxiety, etc in the west.You constantly try to fill a void whose cause you believe is necessary. A sad consequence of the Anglo impact on the world.

Just look at your own days, buddy. I bet you aren't doing much different day after day. Its these habbit that you and other humans beans share.

Also here is a more scientific approach:
https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/831513/GROUNDHOG-DAY-infinite-universe-history-repeats

Other interesting questions
Is déjà vu evidence of a repeated segment of time? Or is that just a glitch in the matrix?
Is precognition (if proven) evidence that the future already exists?
If the universe ceased expanding and collapsed back into itself, would time run backwards?
Is the universe a four-(or more)-dimensional “thing” such that not only does every snippet of time exist, but that it exists forever in that “thing” and could be repeated?
Is time even a real thing in the first place, or just an illusion?

I'm seeing a lot of dogmatic precepts, oughts, and commandments, but any actual reasons why.
If your thesis on voluntary association, emancipation, and freedom are rejected, then what are you left with? A stack of platitudes, like most neoliberals and ethical libertarians.
The fact is that you arguing these based on some assumption that humans intrinsically need this kind of modern concept of freedom, makes you naive. These ideals haven't even existed for a century. Most of humanity does not currently operate this way. Humanity did not operate this way through most of history. Even with great legal freedoms, there still existed social and cultural norms instilling societal virtues into its constituents.
