The Western world exhibits Oswald Spengler's checklist of civilizational death (not mere decline): over-urbanization producing parasitic, unproductive megacities; demographic collapse from people refusing to have children due to seeing no future; extreme inequality where ~0.1% (e.g., the Ellison family buying TikTok, Viacom, bidding for CNN) control resources and media; reliance on mercenaries/proxies for wars; general decadence (e.g., OnlyFans); and mass immigration eroding social cohesion.
