The Human Offensive | December 23, 2023

As the global order is thrown into chaos, it is now up to individuals to be shining examples of the “city upon a hill” that America once was. In doing so, we may be able to spark a new renaissance that could launch humanity into the stars.
Mass migration, forced by globalist policy and war, has shattered cultural cohesion in western countries. At the same time, a technological revolution is threatening to alter or abolish humanity. Forced gender confusion has twisted the minds of a generation, foreshadowing a transhuman era. Many are left wondering what identity they have left.
Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe document repeating historical cycles in their 1997 book The Fourth Turning.
As Strauss and Howe point out, history is made up of highs and lows. During a high, government and institutions are built up while values are established and commonly held. Another generation is born and these institutions are questioned and undermined. Then, an “unraveling” era unfolds. As Strauss and Howe write, “Both the demand and supply of social order are falling. This is the autumnal quadrant of the saeculum, when vines luxuriate, fruit spoils, leaves fall, and the respect for life’s fundamentals reappears.”
A saeculum – which is divided into four “seasons”, culminating in a crisis – is the average length of a long human life, after which there is a societal “reset”. Strauss and Howe predicted that:
“Political and economic trust will implode. Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire. The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.”
Because of globalization and world-wide communication, 4th turning cycles around the globe – including many different countries, cultures and governments – appear to be synchronized and are in fact leading to a dramatic global crescendo.
Previous 4th turning revolutions were directed at the leadership of individual nations. Deadly wars were fought and a new era began afterwards. While this remains true now, the revolution is against globalists who represent a power structure that threatens all nations equally, at the same moment in history. It is this threat that binds like minded traditionalist and nationalist individuals across the globe. It is a truly unprecedented time period in human history.
As America and the west have decayed, the art and culture produced has mirrored its decline.
Piercing commentary by freelance writer David Hamilton provides insight:
“Historically, there were qualities that denoted an idea of civilisation that gave meaning to culture: confidence and a sense of belief in one’s own people that generated a sense of permanence. This was reflected by the arts elite of the day.”
“There was a self-belief in our society’s values and a desire to receive them from our ancestors and transmit them to our descendants. These values came from a sense of continuity: that we have endured and will continue to do so; but now it seems this process is being jettisoned for a vague future that is being artificially constructed by cultural elites.”
Anti-human, self-hating, racist, divisive ideals characterize the modern forced globalist culture.
“Woke” culture does not allow room for human growth and potential. Most of our heroes and legends from history, like all of us, made mistakes. However, we chose to acknowledge the good to advance human civilization. The existing order stamps out inspiration.
Christianity offers a different view. We have a spiritual element and an eternal soul, and we can be forgiven for our sins.
“His glory is in his humanity and not in his race or color. Endowed with freedom of choice, he may descend to the lowest hell or rise to the highest heaven. In him as a person all the moral ends of the universe and all the movement of God’s eternal purpose find meaning and value.” – Georgia Harkness, Beliefs That Count
