Nietzsche declared God dead. Conrad exposed civilization’s conscience as a fraud. Spengler diagnosed Western civilization as terminally ill. Our dreams of endless progress—the cornerstone of our Faustian worldview—were doomed to fail. Like the Apollonian civilization of Greece and Rome before it, the West had passed from Culture to Civilization. Our age of faith, creativity, and expansion was now giving way to bureaucracy and mass politics. The decline and fall that overtook every previous high culture now awaited us as well.

No civilization wants to hear of its own decline. For the West, the prospect feels particularly terrifying. Faustian cultures are drawn toward the infinite in the way that Apollonian civilizations sought the mysteries of form and proportion. We are driven to look toward the horizon and wonder what lies beyond it. Faustians build Gothic cathedrals reaching to heaven; tall ships that sail across oceans and discover a New World; science that measures the weight of the atom and the breadth of the universe. Our worldview is based on the idea of limitless frontiers.

Mientras miles de hombres eran aupados para ir al frente... motivados por todos los que no iban a ir...

En la Gran Guerra o WW1 se empezo la industrializacion de la carniceria humana

Los pobres que sobrevivieron y fueron marcado de por vida, pues eran rezagos del conflicto... ni honor ni gloria... solo incapacidades de por vida y una apariencia desfigurada Pero todos los bandos mencionaban el valor, la valentia, la osadia, la masculinidad, etc Sin embargo... en la WW2 se empezo a notar un factor historico inmemorial "Es mejor un perro vivo que un leon muerto" O sea... elegir al beta cobarde que al alfa valiente fallecido

EL REPORTE SPENGLER Simplemente mencionaba lo evidente... novias y esposas dejaban a sus compañeros en el frente... por algun cobarde en la seguridad de las ciudades lejos del conflicto

Esto practicamente sucedio en todo el mundo... y los que no estuvieron en el conflicto fueron muy rapidos al olvidarlo... como "gajes del oficio"

Actualmente donde vemos multitudes exigiendo beneficios economicos por compañia... es dificil no ver que es la misma mecanica social mas descarada, menos maquillada

Algunos mencionan actualmente que la preocupacion de ingresos es simplemente un vestigio natural por la posibilidad de quedar embarazada...

en un mundo con 7 metodos anticonceptivos...

con pastilla del dia despues...

con abortos...

y un +30% de posibilidades que el hijo no sea suyo

:v :v :v

Es curioso... este informe no es nada extraño...

En la WW2 fueron tan infames que habia leyes para que olvidaran a su marido en el frente... que podian casarse de nuevo aun sin confirmar su desaparicion... muchas no lo hicieron por el beneficio economico...

“It is not true that human technics saves labour. For it is an essential characteristic of the personal and modifiable technics of Man, in contrast to the genus technics of animals, that every discovery contains the possibility and necessity of new discoveries, every fulfilled wish awakens a thousand more, every triumph over Nature incites to yet others. The soul of this beast of prey is ever hungry, his will never satisfied — that is the curse that lies upon this kind of life, but also the greatness inherent in its destiny. It is precisely its best specimens that know the least quiet, happiness, or enjoyment. And no discoverer has ever accurately foreseen the practical effect of his act. The more fruitful the leader's work, the greater the need of executive hands. And so, instead of killing the prisoners taken from hostile tribes, men begin to enslave them, so as to exploit their bodily strength. This is the origin of slavery, which must be precisely as old as the slavery of domestic animals.

In general, these peoples and tribes multiply, so to say, downwards. What grows is not the number of 'heads’, but that of hands. The group of those who are leaders by nature remains small. It is, in fact, the pack of the true beasts of prey, the pack of the gifted who dispose, in one way or another, of the increasing herd of the others.

But even this lordship of the few is far removed from the ancient freedom — witness Frederick the Great's saying: 'I am the first servant of my state.’ Hence the desperate efforts of the 'exceptional’ man to keep himself inwardly free. Here, and only here, begins the individualism that is a reaction against the psychology of the mass. It is the last uprising of the carnivore soul against its captivity behind the bars of culture, the last attempt to shake off the spiritual and intellectual limitations that are produced by, and represented by, the fact of large numbers. Hence arise the types of life typified by the conqueror, the adventurer, the hermit, and even certain types of criminals and bohemians. The wished-for escape from absorption by the masses takes various forms — lordship over it, fight from it, contempt for it. The idea of personality, in its dark beginnings, is a protest against humanity in the mass, and the tension between these grows and grows to its tragic finale.

Hate, the most genuine of all race-feelings in the beast of prey, presupposes respect for the adversary. A certain recognition of like spiritual rank is inherent in it. Beings that stand lower one despises. Beings that themselves stand low are envious. All primitive folk-tales, god-myths, and hero-sagas are full of such motives. The eagle hates only his peers, envies none, despises many and indeed all. Contempt looks downwards from the heights, envy peers upwards from below —and these two are the world-historical feelings of mankind organised in state and classes, whose (forcedly) peaceful specimens helplessly ratle the bars of the cage in which they are confined together. From this fact and its consequences nothing can liberate them. So it was and so it will be — or nothing at all will be. It has a significance, this fact of respect and contempt. To alter it is impossible. The destiny of Man is pursuing its course and must accomplish itself.” - Oswald Spengler, ‘Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life’ (1931) [p. 58 - 60]

“The animal of prey is the highest form of mobile life. It implies a maximum of freedom from others and for oneself, of self-responsibility, of independence, and an extreme of necessity where that self can hold its own only by fighting and winning and destroying. It imparts a high dignity to Man, as a type, that he is a beast of prey.

I'm so sorry, but I'm lazy dumb
