Preparing for the End of Civilization

The Rise and Fall of Subordinate Races

In The Rise of the Subordinate, the author maintains that the transition from hunter-gather societies to more egalitarian agricultural societies allowed low-ranking subordinates to multiply without immediate resource restrictions. In fact, this process is what we now call ‘culture’. But it cannot last forever.

The distinction between culture and what came before it is the difference between dominance hierarchies, ruled by competent men who beat down the competition, and egalitarian networks that collectively bully dominant leaders into submission. The author explains that,

“different groups use coalitional strategies (such as feminism) to suppress dominance hierarchies”.

Think of it in terms of The Lion King. The lions initially rule the pride lands. They are authoritarian and dominance-based, led by male leader Mufasa. However, the hyenas, larger in number, more manipulative, and led by hyena matriarch Shenzi, ultimately take over the pride lands. The hyenas then hunt the lands to extinction, turning them into a desert, echoing the idea of limits to growth.

Indeed, our planet is also facing potential resource depletion. Not just oil, but a host of other raw materials are becoming either increasingly scarce, or increasingly expensive to mine. Following the studies of actuarian Gail Tverberg, on her blog Our Finite World, her conclusion is that what we call ‘civilization’ must come to an end during the next 20 to 50 years.

In The Lion King, Scar, Mufasa’s evil brother, expresses this sentiment, namely that,

“While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps.”

Scar embodies the feasting attitude of communism, which implores people to maximize their consumption. This, of course, goes hand in hand with capitalist enterprise.

The author of The Rise of the Subordinate further explains, “The increased availability of surviving mates and relative resource equity of the agrarian cultural system is responsible for reducing selection pressures …”. However, “the best survival outcomes in zero-sum conflicts in the lawless wild will produce over time a fitness bias towards dominance hierarchy.”

Meaning, we ought to expect a return to dominance hierarchies and, therewith, the end of civilization.

What Subordinates?

In the 1982 movie Conan the Barbarian, Conan enters civilization, and ends up destroying it.

Who are the subordinates, then, that are expected to lose their power? They include cattle and grain, and the masses that consume them, the hoi polloi. It is taxpayers and voters who stand to lose most of their numbers during the collapse of civilization. And along with them, the subordinate races further down the hierarchy shall perish.

Around the year 1800, the continent of Africa had just about 90 million inhabitants. Today, they count over 1.2 billion. This 12-fold explosion in barely 225 years should be understood as the “rise of the subordinate”. The men and women who benefited so much from Western technology, medicine, and education, now stand to lose the most, as such large numbers are entirely unsustainable, especially since these numbers depend entirely on Western technology transfer to Africa, in exchange for resources for the factories outside of Africa.

It is unlikely that the billion African will not suffer a major famine event that could wipe out up to 90% of their numbers, reducing them to 1800s population levels. In Europe, too, after the death of the boomers, the demand for migrants out of Africa (and elsewhere) may dwindle, as Europe will no longer need that many helping hands to service aging demographics. Many an immigrant cook and cleaner may have to leave Europe to find work elsewhere—work that won’t be available anywhere.

Thus, the death of the White boomer generation also implies the end of mass immigration, multiculturalism, and diversity, since demand for extra pairs of brown hands will disappear. The homeless will die, welfare dependents will die, and NGO-leftists living off of government subsidies will die along with them. A whole self-serving system will come crashing down as both supply and demand for hand-out services disintegrates.

Thus, we shall see the Fall of the Subordinates, the natural erasure of the popular mob, and the restoration of dominance hierarchies. As Tverberg explains,

“It is unlikely that democracies can continue; authoritarian rulers with a support staff are more likely. Plagues may cause the overall population to fall.”

Plagues such as Covid—which wasn’t a real virus, but rather a government program intended to reduce the population, in hopes of saving the economy. One day, the technocrats won’t be able to save the economy, and the democratic population will simply be killed off nearly entirely.

Or, as Conan would say,

The best thing in life to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

On that note, we must prepare. Be prepared for the end of civilization. Let us position our best men as authoritarian rulers of the world, in the new age ruled by dominant men of action.
