Western malaise and defeatism

Besides all of the reasons posted on this site and all over the interwebs on why the West is declining so quickly, one major reason has been consistently left out—culture shock.

Culture shock is real. It takes many decades for a culture/ civilization to overcome it. The entire world outside of Western civilization has been experiencing culture shock vis-a-vis the West for over two hundred years.

During decades of culture shock, the people affected by it will overestimate the shocking culture while underestimating themselves, the culture being shocked.

This happened in Japan. In the nineteenth century there were calls to abandon the Japanese language and replace it with English. In China, culture shock vis-a-vis the West is still ongoing. Name your country, society, or civilization they all have experienced the malaise and defeatism of comparing themselves to the West while trying, as most have, to adopt Western ways or at least catch up to the West.

Western medicine, which has produced massive population growth throughout the world, plus Western farming techniques, technology, economics, etc. have greatly contributed to the enrichment of the non-Western world while also causing most of it to have or have had an inferiority complex engendered by culture shock.

Over the last 30-50 years, Western peoples have been watching the rest of the world catch up while also immigrating in huge numbers into the West. The culture shock that has resulted from this is a very real and deep-seated psychological condition.

Beyond the shock caused by different cultures impinging upon it, Western peoples have also been assaulted by infiltrators inside the West who are using Western culture shock to even more deeply control the West. Mind-control techniques that degrade Western self-esteem through quotas, propaganda, censorship, lies, and government policies are especially effective because Westerners are in an ongoing state of culture shock.

Japan is an example of a civilization that has outgrown its culture shock vis-a-vis the West. But notice that Japan succeeded in this by recognizing what was happening early on, and facing it directly while encouraging many positive transformations in Japanese society. Notice also that to this day Japan is not allowing itself to be overrun by immigrants who cannot and will not adapt to their culture but rather undermine it, as is happening throughout the West.

Culture shock is normal. Historically, it has happened many times. It is not a permanent state unless a society gives into it too much and allows itself to be subjugated or overrun. Or if a society, such as ours, has been thoroughly infiltrated by bad actors who use every weakness they can find to destroy it.

To recap: culture shock is normal; the West is in the midst of it; it will pass if we can maintain our civilization. Our main hurdles are 1) understanding what is happening, 2) understanding that bad actors have infiltrated the West and are furthering Western culture shock with a passion, and 3) understanding that mass immigration is the most powerful physical weapon being used against the West today.
