During the Summer of 2021, I had the fortune to pick up a copy of the Decline of the West Volume 1 and 2. I found it through my ownership of Prussian Socialism as a briefly mentioned book in the preface and I figured, not knowing the goldmine I discovered, that I’d give it a go. What arrived in the mail the following day was a thousand pages of historical, philosophical, cultural, political, artistic, and psychological analysis all seamlessly woven together in a thesis that has since changed my entire understanding of the world. It granted me “history vision” in a sense, to look around at the current state of affairs and see the borderline musical rhythm and development to events as the West succeeds in each stage of its prophesized decline, as no unpredictability on my part escapes the prescient-ness of Spengler’s poetic view of Civilizational development.

I had to share what I found, for as great as the content out there about Spengler was, plenty was overlooked and gave an incomplete vision of Spengler’s entire philosophy. That is why I created this account, to share the fundamentals of the Spenglarian Worldview in a simplified form to distribute it to as many people as possible.
