Video: Cultural Decentralization Versus Cultural Control

Cultural Control

It’s rare I link to videos from others, but this particular short video is fantastic.

In it, PJW breaks down the difference between the Chinese “ban the simps” strategy from the American “ban people saying the word simp” strategy.

Watch it on BitChute here:

It’s also on YouTube, should you prefer that platform:

The Chinese have been encouraging and importing degeneracy into our nations for decades now. While at the same time, trying desperately to stomp it out from their own.

The Chinese strategy has always been to mimic that of successful, older empire-states. The same attributes, virtues, and environment that brought about the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Roman empire, the Byzantines, the Mongolian Empire, the British Empire, and the original American Empire are at play within China. They are encouraging family, masculinity, strong men, common-bond patriotism, unity, strength, stoicism, moral courage, and fidelity to the state. All things that all great empires, during their up-and-coming era, shared.

It is sad, but it is likely that they will be our replacements for world power once we crash. Unless we can stop that sinking ship, I see no way we avoid what has happened literally dozens of times over in history. The are trying to become the next empire.

China has accomplished this largely through cultural controls. They realized the failure of central planning, Maoism, and “The Great Leap Forward” and took a different, more historic approach.

Freedom, especially in the hands of centralizers such as in the West, will never hold forever. The decentralized aspect will naturally lead the power-hungry to centralize it in their interests. Which will eventually result in cultural degeneracy. It is all a part of the cycle of collapse. Allowing centralizers to have the unlimited freedom to centralize the culture will never result in anything else than exactly what has happened here.

That isn’t to say I am in favor of a tyrannical rule by one. But if a rule by many is going to sustain, the cultural controls have to be in the hands of the many, not the isolated class few (capitalist elites) nor completely decentralized. If they aren’t centralized by the many, then a rule by many cannot maintain forever. The many must be able to pick, change, and revert their culture. We must have the option to control it. It is the expression of us, after all. It should never be in the hands of a one (such as China) or a few (such as the U.S.). I have ways to do so in my upcoming book, but I’ll defer that one for another post another time.

Still, this video is a great lesson in the importance of cultural controls. If a nation doesn’t have them, then the nation won’t exist for long. At its very root, the culture is the expression of the nation (the people) and their soul. If you don’t protect and safeguard that most very foundational being of a society, then there is no reason to expect or desire it to survive. It will eventually become what we have today, which is an absolute perversion of what we once were. A desecration of our ancestors.

In many ways, if you minus the totalitarian approach, the Chinese strategy and values are a better representation of our ancestors than our own people’s culture is today.

A crazy thought. But it is a crazy world.

I do believe that China has a future and that the west is just owacon at this point.
However, I don’t really believe that China is going to be the next superpower.
Because while the west is copying everything what China is doing (while raging at how bad China is doing ironically) and then multiply by 20, China is still surrounded by all sorts of hostile nations, are dependent on other countries for food, and on top of that have very limited shipping routes available (hence their obsession with Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South China Sea).
With the exception of Russia and maybe North Korea (and now Afghanistan too), every country in the region hates China’s guts, and China hates everyone back.
Even entire regions of ethnically non-Chinese hate China (Inner Mongolia, Tibet, and that Muslim region), as well as regions of ethnically Chinese people (Hong Kong and Macau) + independent countries consisting of majority Chinese people (Singapore and Taiwan).
China has proven to be incapable of winning wars including those on their own soil, so I doubt they will be able to successfully conquer Taiwan, with or without America.
Plus China has always been a supporter of multipolarism, so if they become a superpower, the power will most likely go back to each individual nation again.
Would make sense, since China does understand that the British and French will never be culturally Chinese (or Chinese in any sense), they do understand that mandating Mandarin as the de-facto global language on the entire world won’t work.
The language itself isn’t all that hard, but I’m sure your average American and German will get scared away by the Hanzi characters, and your average Ukrainian and Mexican won’t be bothered trying to learn the tones.

  An interesting take. My hope is that the West, or other less insane nations such as your own, can turn this around before it gets to that point. Multipolarism is always an ideal but in a non-nationalist, globlaization-dominant world I find it unlikely. I think nationalism must return first to a plethora of nations or globalism will eat away at any hope for true multipolarism.
  I do agree that China has an empire-type situation at the moment with far more enemies than friends. Especially internally. That would, ironically enough, fit anacyclosis. Just like the Roman empire got prominent while controlling a bunch of rebellious, hostile nations. Until they lost the drive and attributes that led to their success, then those pieces started to overtake the Romans. I could see a similar situation unfolding with China. One could even conceivably think that China is already at their prime, though. Then maybe those elements will start eating them away the same as here out West.
  I am however fascinated by your thoughts here:
  China has proven to be incapable of winning wars including those on their own soil, so I doubt they will be able to successfully conquer Taiwan, with or without America.
  I will be honest, I don’t know much about this conflict, but in terms of military strength it seems that China would crush them easily. What’s the thoughts on this one from someone closer to the situation? Do you think other countries like Japan, Singapore, and/or South Korea would come to Taiwan’s aid in the event that the U.S. did not? I’ve found conflicting information on this front, seems most countries are uneasy all around. As China focuses more heavily on “manly men” and their military, I’m interested to see if this situation starts to turn around. Generally, China appears more of a docile rather than war-faring civilization, but we all know that pressures can bring change.

    China has been building up their military, but the military for all tends and purposes is still unskilled, plus China is traditionally a nation made up of merchents, not warriors unlike what’s the case with Europe, Russia, and Japan.
    Though a counter attack without America might be a bit meaningless.
    Singapore is tiny, and so is their military.
    Since WWII, Korea and Japan have constantly been switching between “we’re like brothers from different mothers” and “I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!” quite a lot, and while Japan tries to get along with Korea, Korean leadership keeps shifting back and forth all the time, so without America as a moderator, this could lead in a Middle-East grade overcomplication.
    Also, Japan’s constitution prohibits any type of warfare, only self defence is allowed.
    There have been many attempts by politicians here to overwrite article 9 (which is the no war allowed clause), both the coalition and opposition are in favor of scrapping article 9 completely, but the media keeps fearmongering about “muh war mentality” nonsense which unfortunately too many people still fall for.
    And there is the US military that’s still stationed all over the country which are against scrapping article 9.
    The other thing is that the constitution can’t be legally overwritten, even though they keep overwriting it all the time when it comes to copyright and censorship, but they’ve been unable to do when it comes to enabling lockdowns and fines for “violating” something that’s not even law (I’m very thankful for that part though).
    However, both Japanese and Korean military is pretty well skilled, especially in the navy.
    Both countries hold frequent drills with a lot of different countries (Australia, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, among others), so based on that alone it would rather be a coalition of JKS that would easily crush China.
    The only advantage China has here is the number of soldiers.
    But add Vietnam and Taiwan to the party to turn JKS into JKSVT, and we’d have an upperhand on this front as well (just an estimate, I didn’t check the amount of soldiers each country has).

      Great info, thanks for the write-up. I definitely need to spend more time researching the region, especially for when geopolitical power starts to be altered worldwide.
