The “West” is afraid of globohomo.

While searching for that stupid Dark Enlightenment chart I then linked to in another reply, I came across this awful article: Artwashing NRx and the Alt-Right by Ana Teixeira Pinto, who linked to On the Unhappy Consciousness of Neoreactionaries, written by a non-European author called Yuk Hui – in the latter case, I did not even know if the author is male or female (another reason to reject globalisation.)

Quote from Hui’s text:

Fundamentally, the neoreactionary movement and the “alt-right” are expressions of an anxiety over the fact that the West is incapable of overcoming the current phase of globalization and maintaining the privilege it has enjoyed for the past few hundred years. Nick Land already admitted as much twenty years ago, in a text entitled “Meltdown”:

“The sino-pacific boom and automatized global economic integration crashes the neocolonial world system … resulting in Euro-American neo-mercantilist panic reactions, welfare state deterioration, cancerizing enclaves of domestic underdevelopment, political collapse, and the release of cultural toxins that speed-up the process of disintegration in a vicious circle.”

So this Hui imbecile no one actually reads, who is anything but interesting, did not even understand what he quoted. What does this have to do with anxiety, where is this connected to what was labeled Alt-Right?

Further, there is good reason to reject globalisation, especially if foreigners start lecturing you about who is allowed to voice his opinion in his own country, not to mention such people disallowing doing politics … for one’s own country and people.

China is doing the opposite of what the “West” does, it has closed itself off mostly, does not allow much of the degeneration we are suffering from to pass their borders.

There are better articles on this exact topic elsewhere, therefore I am done here. Still, it boggles the mind—but no longer really surprises me, given the times we are living in—that Huk is a professor—in Europe, of course!—writing about decline and has not even read … Spengler?

Does he not know that the topic of decline is nothing new? He studied in Berlin, clearly he must know German? Even if not, Spengler has been translated, and all he has to do is to pick up the book, open it and start reading. For a professor, apparently, this is too much to ask for.

Yuk Hui has to go back. I am done with this life, I’m glad when I am dead.

Gómez Dávila was “afraid” as well:

Even the enemy of technology denounces its public, but trivial, outrages more than its invisible, but disastrous, destructions.
(As if contemporary man’s feverish migration, for instance, were disturbing because of traffic accidents.)

It is fine to demand that the imbecile respect arts, letters, philosophy, the sciences, but let him respect them in silence.

The racist errs by believing that pure races exist, the anti-racist by believing that the ingredients of a beverage are of no importance.

The decay of modern civilization is only doubted in an under-developed country.

The two most pressing problems of the contemporary world: demographic expansion and genetic deterioration are unsolvable.
Liberal principles prevent the solution of the first, egalitarian ones that of the second.
