The collapse of rampant individualism

The gaslighting media is telling us that the French are revolting again, this time over textbook availability and class size ratios. Of course, the reality is different.

These are not French.

The approved right on social media are making it all about support for Palestine versus standing with Israel or something. Of course.

The chutzpah. Who pushed the policies that brought these savages in?

The civilisational collapse that I’ve been writing about for 10 years is at root about Western individualism gone wild and importing barbarians to destroy the nation. That is what cultural Marxism has been all about, and we can see that when we look at the relevant planetary cycles.

At its core, leftism is unbounded individualism. It is the psychology of the person who wants no accountability, no humility, no deference to order, no sublimation of their impulses. This is why they are globalists. They dream of an imaginary global family that will never exist because they’re unable to maintain the necessary social connections that provide a meaningful basis for belonging and identity with the real people around them. Because they are incapable of loving their neighbour to create a real village, they imagine a global one.

Leftists see society then as nothing but oppression. They hate the society our ancestors established because the leftist wants to have no limit on identity, appetite, inclination, or morality. They crave the nihilism of absolute individualism.

It’s usually driven by daddy issues.

All of this is perfectly comprehensible if one understands the planetary forces that God has delegated to govern humanity.

If we wish to truly understand what’s happening here, we have to look at the relevant synodic cycles. A synodic cycle is the period of time between two planetary conjunctions, and the themes evident at the time of that conjunction will then become important themes throughout the rest of the synodic cycle. These mostly peaceful protests by overly conscientious Gallic schoolchildren are occurring on an aspect that goes back to the French Revolution over two centuries ago. For the French Revolution, the most relevant synodic cycle is the Uranus-Pluto cycle; Uranus representing the liberation of the individual and Pluto representing power and coercion.

For context, Pluto just entered Aquarius and will remain there until 2044. It stationed direct, which means firmly entered Aquarius, on October 16, right as Paris started to get smashed up by the concerned schoolchildren in matching black tracksuits.

From 1789 to 1794, during the height of the Terror and while Pluto was out of bounds south in Aquarius like it is today into 2036, Uranus and Pluto were in opposition. They were halfway through the synodic cycle that began in 1710, under the themes of challenges to monarchical and church power. In 1850, there was a Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Aries, right at the time of the 1848 revolutionary wave. This was the period of anti-monarchical revolutions across Europe. The waxing sextile phase of this synodic cycle corresponded in 1871 with the Paris Commune. Being in Aries, it is no surprise that the anti-monarchic revolts were violent and sudden.

Relevant for us is that the next conjunction of Uranus and Pluto was 1965-66. Anyone who’s been through Year 10 History during the last 30 years will know that the period of 1962 into the 1970s was the time of the mass social movements that gave us the postmodern left we are familiar with today. Today’s school History teachers treat it with the veneration that Hindus do cow poo. Paris in particular was a centre of student-led violence against anything traditional, anything masculine, anything to do with European heritage, or anything that maintains social order in general.

It was the protest movements of the 1960s that gave us the desolation wrought by toxic feminism, anti-moral nihilism, and open borders policies. Those violent 60s student movements were right on the last Uranus-Pluto conjunction, which this year reached its first waxing trine. From now until 2028, we will be revisiting the legacy of the 1960s social movements. We can see this challenge to the antisocial chaos created by the 60s everywhere.

Nationalist youth could be the antibodies we need to restore the social order of Western societies.

It is not going too far to say that this coming decade is the crucible of modern history. On the other side of this coming decade, the world will be a very different place.

Nihilistic individualism has been expanding exponentially since the 60s, like a societal yeast infection. Technology has accelerated ideology as screens have captured our souls away from those around us. Screen possession has pushed hyper-individualism to its extreme degree, with a corresponding collapse in community as the common values that make fellowship possible have collapsed. Consumerism, based on cheap hydrocarbon energy and debt-based money creation, has reduced the social friction of daily life so much that many people today have practically no social connections at all yet are able to eat.

We cannot know the future, yet I believe that we may see the disappearance of extreme individualist globalism and its replacement with enclosed communities in the decades ahead. Nationalist communities may become ethnically defined. Ideological communities would have to become more based and exclusive than the lukewarm civic nationalist nonsense we’ve had in the West in recent decades.

We only have hyper-individualism because of our economic system, and that system itself is being brought undone by sand people with missiles in Arabia. It’s Dune without the sand worms. This is all part of the global revolutionary period we are entering.

The revolution will be televised, but it won’t just be happening ‘out there’ in the world we see on our screens. It will be happening in the private lives of every person on Earth as the conveniences of industrial modernity disappear due to the loss of oil and the collapse of our debt-based economic system as this Plutonic century comes to an end.

All of this is part of the unfolding divine plan of the Ages. There is a harmony to the cosmos that only Christianity can fully explain. In the heavens, Jesus is the great musician. The stars are the instruments. The planets are the strings, and we are the notes. This is the harmony of the spheres: Jesus governing the order of heaven to bring all things into fulfilment in him (Ephesians 1:10).

Jean-Jacques Rousseau fueled the later Revolution with his statement that man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. He was wrong. We are born in chains, bound to our fate in the stars. If we want to become free, there is only one man who can do it.

God has chosen in his sovereignty to allow this mystery to be concealed during this Age. Now, toward the end of the Age, it is time for God’s people to recover the wisdom of the earliest believers and understand that the cosmic order of God is more knowable and more real than we have been taught to believe. Reality is not random and our lives are not chaotic. There is a knowable purpose for each of us that only comes from knowing the Lord of the Ages.
