I had thought Spengler to be much less mainstream. Interesting that some of the most important men in America were somewhat interested in his ideas at some point.
The most important men in American history were far from mainstream, and that's how they've always wanted it, after all that's what presidents are for.
He's sort of deliberately ignored by modern academia, I think for his associations in part but more importantly because his thesis runs so contrary to that of academia, one of potentially infinite progress which is held by both Marxists and liberals. The institution of higher education tends to lose some of its appeal if it promotes the idea that the future will be worse than the present, because if that's the case then what's the point of going to university.

@@laniakea777 Go back to heidegger incel: "Spengler viewed Nazi anti-Semitism as self-defeating, and personally took an ethnological view of race and culture. In his private papers, he remarked upon "how much envy of the capability of other people in view of one's lack of it lies hidden in anti-Semitism!", and arguing that "when one would rather destroy business and scholarship than see Jews in them, one is an ideologue, i.e., a danger for the nation. Idiotic"
@@laniakea777(sigh) Nation at one time was a literal term, describing a political entity comprised of people all genetically related or even all descended from one person. Nation now is ideological rather than genetic. Israel is an example of that, no longer must you show heritage from a specific tribal leader to become an Israeli citizen. The USA is a nation in the ideological sense. People who are not even distantly related to George Washington recognize him as the father of our country. Jew bashing is a waste of your time, intellect and energy. The people who were trying to destroy the West in Nixon’s time, and in ours, are Marxists, not Jews. Marxists hate Jews in a way you can’t comprehend… unless you’re a Marxist.
Its always strange when people refer to Spengler as pessimistic. It's like saying that coming to the realisation you're going to die one day is pessimistic. Civilisations rise and fall. Water is also wet.
He certainly knew and planned for the cyclical demise of the U.S Starting with the ending of the gold standard, gutting American industry and moving it to China, exhausting the American military in endless conflicts which it had to do due to its oil for security policy, an obvious answer although suicidal ultimately to the cutting of the gold standard.

Now this is esoteric
Real
Interview took place under the black sun of Giedi Prime
Gotta be the top comment!(I'm obviously a deep thunker)🤠

And how do you think Kissinger got in office?
Spengler’s ‘methodology,’ that attempts to consider art, history, philosophy, science, and religion, is the most enduring aspect of his work!
Indeed.

He's everywhere but at university.
@@jadedforeman1503so...who are these men

Some of them we maybe don't even know their names. The real power and influence is never out in the spotlight.

Surfing the waves of trends... proves a lot about the government
Kissinger and Buckley both shly avoid spengler's understanding of the importance of Nation
And the negative effects of Hebrews

@@jackofasgard9108 the reply of Jew/Hebrew ally when they are called out. An agitated answer is usually the response to speaking the truth. Good luck.
kissinger certainly is a big fan of israel-the jewish ethnostate

One of the most fascinatingly dry fascinating human beings.
Kissinger did his PhD thesis at Harvard on Spengler
Of course not, you haven't read his PhD thesis.
@VociferousMallardTherefore, his PhD is not on Spengler.
@kingpriapatius5832 "ackshually not phd" LOL shuttup..useless comment
And his undergrad thesis talked about Toynbee and Kant. Interesting to see how the realpolitik sausage got made
in the way kissinger uses his hands, you can spot that he was a sith lord
Sith lord?
Thank you for sharing this.
Killinger wrote in Harward about Kant and Spengler in his final essay there.
WOW . . . .

Where is the entire interview?
Spengler would call Kissinger a socialist. He thought all modern policy interventionists were socialists, right? Even those representing the right.
He believed it was an inevitable arrival in the west, he saw it not as benevolent but as a will to Power, and he was right.
Spengler called himself a socialist
No, he referred positively to the German political traditional as "Prussian Socialism".

To paraphrase G.B.S., the insufferable interviewing the unspeakable...
