Something has come to an end.
Most people call it: the West.
As most people don’t really understand what the West is (or rather: was), we may say that, while most living humans of the industrialized world nowadays objectively live under the Post-West, only some of them yet have managed to subjectively live in the Post-West. Because objectively living in the Post-West requires the comprehension of the West, i.e. grasping its concept.[1]
For many people of 2024 (henceforth we shall call them: Retarded West), the West are the Whites, i.e. the European man, whose downgrading in terms of per capita GDP during the last decades is a fact. Yet 1000 years ago, the European man did exist (his biological shape hasn’t changed that much since then), while the West didn’t. And Eastern Slavs[2] are here to remind us of the mostly non-racial character of that thing we call “the West”.
So is this one more belated praise of the West, to defend “our values” against the rising tide of darkies and leftists? Not at all. As I will demonstrate further on, such discourses of the Retarded West (let’s call them: illiberalism) are fully compatible with an agenda of punishment and extinction of the European man. Because the essentializing of whiteness – once a tool of colonial dominance – has evolved into the main rationale behind the anticolonial agenda of what I call the Pigmented West.
The Pigmented West and its Kissingerian agenda
The Pigmented West is the non-white part of the internationally organized oligarchy: a mix of depraved crown princes and former socialist chinovniks of Third World regimes[3], who sometimes meet in Davos, whose conscious cultural identity is 100% Western[4], but who also think that “the West” (they mean: the Whites) should be blamed for the misery of the pigmented masses they themselves pillage and enslave (since, in most cases, the Whites have not been there since the late 1960s).
For the “authoritarian regimes” run by those kleptocrats, White guilt is the ultimate medicine against internal tensions of all kind: between themselves as an oligarchic ruling elite and their local underclass, but also within the syndicate of pigmented elites. India and China have thus been able to (temporarily?) reconcile in order to loot the bonanza of cheap Russian energy – with the active complicity of their green-dealer white buddies in Davos. In their eyes, those buddies (Klaus Schwab and his team) are the good whities, because they embody the progressive values. Of course, none of this loot (or very little of it) will end up correcting inequalities within the socialist kingdoms of the Pigmented West – where the masses, by the way, might need to pay the price of revolution if they want to access the citizen/bourgeois status still marginally enjoyed by members of the white middle class.
This is how, while pushing the ludicrous idea that from now on revolutions will be top-down philanthropic Tikkun Olam, Schwab and his mignons are actually giving cover to this agenda of oligarchic looting: as can be seen, in 2024, progressive values (i.e. “the West” in its concept) are the best guarantee for effectively impoverishing, enslaving and decimating the European man.
This is the Multilateral Project, the ideation and implementation of which was mostly the work of Henry Kissinger. It is awkward, though, for the propagandists of this agenda of scapegoating the whities, to acknowledge that the Zeitgeist’s baby was delivered by a white (though Jewish) heterosexual male. Hence, they will prefer linking it to such names as Alexander Dugin’s – once a meaningful thinker, nowadays a talking head for the Moscow branch of the Pigmented Oligarchy.
Divergence
There is anthropological divergence taking place within the White world.
Average fecundity becoming more and more of an empty abstraction, we see a growing gap between the progressive mass tending towards a 0 child model (the post-familial “society”) and large families tending towards optimal fecundity. Should we think of all the fathers of such large families as subjective Post-westerners? Probably not. In practice, many of them are still inspired by remnants of Western ideology, such as Catholicism in its conservative/retarded (and hence, increasingly sectarian) forms.
Being confronted with the apex of the Vaccine Cult[5] has also led to such an anthropological divide: some want to live – to live unmaimed. Subjectively, you will find “vaccine hesitancy” (as the Progressive Inquisition terms it) associated with various remnants of Western ideology, such as human rights[6] or the theory of the Good State – i.e. of the vegetarian shepherd, who engage in husbandry only to watch his sheep enjoy themselves.
But fact is: those large, unjabbed, white families do exist. And the hysteria unchained by the mere existence (“white rage”) of such (mostly peaceful and slightly apathetic) families in the mind of progressive elites tell us a lot about who has a future, and who has none.
So who needs theory?
This divergence, though, is fragile. Children of large families may at any point be sent to universities (“conservative” ones, of course!) and contaminated by feminism, transhumanism (starting by his milder form of “get all your jabs or at least the useful ones”), i.e. retarded Western thinking.
From this perspective, identifying with the dead Culture known as the West is actually the most serious danger threatening such families. To be a good Westerner, one needs to reject Islam, right? And since Islam threatens “female freedom” (whatever such a phrase is supposed to mean), to be a good Westerner, i.e. a healthy European man, one needs to embrace feminism – right?
In 2024, this trap of “conservative values” also comes with a “geopolitical” embodiment. “Condemning the West” without understanding properly what the West is conveys the risk of unconsciously accepting the white scapegoating agenda. This generally entails the illusion of distinguishing between good whites (with MAGA caps and “conservative values”) and evil whites (who are generally termed “judeo-” something): a distinction totally ignored in the realm of the Pigmented West. In this dream world, there is a huge post-Christian bonus: the faith in saviors from abroad. This is how (to quote from Rurik Skywalker) QAnon has eventually given birth to ZAnon: after non-typical Globalist Trump readily handed over his power to typical Globalist Biden, if you’re a mental sheep tragically needing a good shepherd, you can still join the Cult of the Putin (i.e. ZAnon), by idealizing a country of de facto compulsory jabbing (but those are gene therapies “with conservative values”), of de facto full scale digital surveillance and smart cities popping out of the ground (but “for the good cause”)[7]. While you’re at it, you could also engage in oral sex with another male, for the sake of heterosexual values.
That is why I think that the European man, in 2024 more than ever, needs theory. Theory is what may eventually save him from his saviors, and give him a chance to become the source of at least one the productive Cultures[8] that may (or may not) fill the void opened by the fading of Western Culture.
In search of da’wa
The vitality of large families, the strength of solidary organic communities[9] – this is what Arabic historian Ibn Khaldûn called ‘as’abîya. Analyzing the rise of future imperial elites, Ibn Khaldûn diagnosed that such a process is always based on combining a preserved ‘as’abîya with what he called a da’wa (the “creed”). For Ibn Khaldûn, as a (not too mystical) Muslim, the epitome of da’wa was, of course, Muhammad’s Revelation, as the unifying creed that allowed the ‘as’abîya of Arabic tribes to give birth to the Islamic empire.
My point is: Post-western, European ‘as’abîya is still looking (or should be looking) for its own da’wa. And more and more proposals are coming in: Mathew Crawford’s paper on “Covid as liberalism’s endgame” (though ill-termed in my opinion), Rurik Skywalker’s critic of the Metaphysical illusion (though not totally sound historically) etc. are valuable contributions to this work in progress (and against progressivism) – while other thinkers, before getting lost on illiberal paths, have paved the way for the Cultural renewal which is on its way: Dugin’s theory of liberalism left alone on the stage, Emmanuel Todd’s observation of Despotism as the most favorable environment for feminism. And there are, of course, some nice goodies in the legacy of the New Right (A. de Benoist, Jean-François Gauthier).
There is no reason why statist, universalist Right should forever be the only philosophical alternative available to statist, universalist Left. Collective egoism of those willing to live should be the software of organic Post-western communities (to this extent, Post-Westernism could also be called neo-Situationism).
In political terms, there is no such thing as mankind, and the Planet is a farm/plantation for domesticated humans, no place for free men to live in. Logically, this should impose the deletion of such notions as world population – which will make Malthusianism not simply a false idea, but an irrelevant one. Post-Westernism does not intend to prove the Davosians false: its purpose is to leave them alone in the ruins of Western progressivism. The war we intend to fight is a war of cultural Secession.

[1] This is the part of the Hegelian worldview I stick to: we are now able to grasp the concept of the West because and only because it’s dead. Conceptualizing is a burial – and, as such, needs to be done correctly, if you don’t want to be haunted by the phantom of the dead.
[2] As well as natives of the Caucasus, of the Balkans and (to a lesser extent) of Scandinavia. All of those nations, while being white and mostly sharing Western Europe’s Christian heritage, regarding Culture, are partly non-Western (generally: partly westernized in a recent phase of their history).
[3] The main anthropological difference between those two categories is that crown princes (due to the – symbolically conserved – tribal nature of their legitimacy as rulers) still have to officially marry women of their kin, while Third-world chinovniks typically marry Danish ladies (to show us how incredibly decolonized they are).
[4] As shown, in most cases, by their very dress code: on G20 group pictures, only Modi of India occasionally flashes some folk attire – while all the rest of Pigmented Davos elites remains true to the costume of Masonic elites of the colonial age, with a dark suit and a tie.
[5] One more typical product of Western ideology now aggressively embraced by the intellectual elites of the Pigmented West.
[6] Including the most ludicrous of them all: “the right to life”, i.e. the sheep’s fear of wolves, turned into a God.
[7] All these aspects of the really existing Pigmented West (as opposed to the ZAnon hologram), in the case of illiberal Russia, have been carefully documented by the heroic reporting work of Edward Slavsquat.
[8] Oswald Spengler would probably have termed this: living Culture (I use, btw, the capitalized “Culture” to emphasize the Spenglerian origin of this notion). I prefer “productive” (taken from the field of linguistics), to keep some distance with the (not always fortunate) biological metaphor underlying Spengler cultural morphology.
[9] Including the warlike virtues such a solidarity often generates: this is – for obvious historical reasons – the aspect of ‘as’abîya that Ibn Khaldûn himself deemed most interesting – hence possible translations such as “courage”.
I sense a hint of "there is hope after all" at the end of the article...a rare occurence with Mr. Schwartz.
