Exactly, I agree. The chances of that happening are very slim, but I guess you’d say they are non-existent, right?
I meant perceive the patterns in reality (nature) outside of human social constructs, specifically this cycle:

The key is to figure out how to maintain good times in the long-term, instead of letting good times create weak men, and then weak men fucking it all up , which is the natural way of how things go. If people blindly follow their instincts and emotions then they end up endlessly repeating this cycle whilst remaining clueless of it. Like a caterpillar :

The human ape perpetually going in circles, thinking he’s going somewhere, that he is “progressive”, going forward, when he’s merely blindly following his instincts and surrendering to natural processes of growth and decay. Then when shit hits the fan these same imbeciles will wonder “how did it get so bad”, never questioning their initial premises, not realizing how they contributed to it.
Strong men manage to dominate nature and accumulate excess energies (resources) in a society, creating good times. By dominate nature I mean, fight off other societies, and successfully extract energy from the environment. Anyway, when the good times are created because of strong men and strong principles, then and only then can degeneracy set in - liberalism, pacifism, feminism, equality, welfare state - none of these can exist in nature. They are fundamentally parasitic and weak and can only latch on to an already successful host which they then proceed to destroy, they themselves can not become successful. This is why it is so ironic when such degenerate ideologies then claim to be “progressive”.
Basically, this natural cycle has to be recognized, and then rules have to be put forward to prevent the system from ever degenerating into liberalism, pacifism, feminism, and all other forms of degeneracy.
But due to reality-inversion I spoke about in my reality-denial thread, a realistic approach to politics will be shunned by the majority precisely because it is realistic - it exposes the masses to a reality they wish to remain ignorant of. They’d much rather be seduced with nice sounding, fantasy words, even if it ultimately spells their doom - “humane”, “justice”, “equality,” love", “peace”…
So yeah I’d agree with you in your pessimism, though instead of pessimism I’d call the same viewpoint realism. Humans will most likely forever keep going through these cycles, oblivious of what’s going on. It’s all rather pathetic in its predictability when you look at it from an outsider perspective, isn’t it?
