For Aristotle, democracy is possible only within homogeneous ethnic groups, while despots have always reigned over highly fragmented societies.

A multi-ethnic society is thus necessarily anti-democratic and chaotic, for it lacks philia, this profound, flesh-and-blood fraternity of citizens. Tyrants and despots divide and rule, they want the City divided by ethnic rivalries. The indispensable condition for ensuring a people’s sovereignty accordingly resides in its unity. Ethnic chaos prevents all philia from developing.

From , page 304.

One of the oft-repeated phenomena of great empires is the influx of foreigners to the capital city. Roman historians often complain of the number of Asians and Africans in Rome.

…

In the age of the first outburst and the subsequent Age of Conquests, the race is normally ethnically more or less homogeneous. This state of affairs facilitates a feeling of solidarity and comradeship. But in the Ages of Commerce and Affluence, every type of foreigner floods into the great city, the streets of which are reputed to be paved with gold. As, in most cases, this great city is also the capital of the empire, the cosmopolitan crowd at the seat of empire exercises a political influence greatly in excess of its relative numbers.

Second- or third-generation foreign immigrants may appear outwardly to be entirely assimilated, but they often constitute a weakness in two directions. First, their basic human nature often differs from that of the original imperial stock. If the earlier imperial race was stubborn and slow- moving, the immigrants might come from more emotional races, thereby introducing cracks and schisms into the national policies, even if all were equally loyal.

Second, while the nation is still affluent, all the diverse races may appear equally loyal. But in an acute emergency, the immigrants will often be less willing to sacrifice their lives and their property than will be the original descendants of the founder race.

Third, the immigrants are liable to form communities of their own, protecting primarily their own interests, and only in the second degree that of the nation as a whole.

Also a comment I've made related to this: (dates and math are in relation to 2023 - add 2 to the years)

The book "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival" by Sir John Bagot Glubb is a very informative, very concise analysis of some past civilizations and their falls. It may help to give a little better perspective on the cyclical nature of where we are. It is 82 pages total in length, but is primarily only 43 pages of actual reading with the latter 32 pages of reading being additional thoughts and details made in response to letters received asking questions regarding aspects of the essay.

In the book, the rise and fall of some empires throughout history are noted. The durations in years that each existed ranged from 207 to 267 years with the average being 238 years.

The nation Dates of rise and fall Duration in years
Assyria 859-612B.C. 247
Persia 538-330B.C. 208
Greece 331-100B.C. 231
Roman Republic 260-27B.C. 233
Roman Empire 27B.C. - A.D. 180 207
Arab Empire A.D. 634-880 246
Mameluke Empire 1250-1517 267
Ottoman Empire 1320-1570 250
Spain 1500-1750 250
Romanov Russia 1682-1916 234
Britain 1700-1950 250
USA Date of Rise +238 Year Average Life (Fall Date)
USA 1775/1783 2013/2021

The American Revolutionary War (The Age of Pioneers/"outburst" noted below) is stated as having occurred from 1775-1783.

The "Ages" noted below have also occurred for the USA in sequence as they have in empires throughout history and the Age of Decadence is well underway, which signifies that we are nearly at the point of total collapse.

From 1783 until 2021 is a period of 238 years that the USA empire has existed, the noted average life of empires. It is now 2023, so 240 years old - just past the average duration of empires.

Of note is that going from 1775 for the USA 'start' date, the USA hit the average 238 year empire lifespan back in 2013 and we are already a decade past that at an age of 248 years.

2012/2013 was right about the point that the USA was blatantly thrown over the edge by kikes and it began its rapid freefall into clown world with the non-stop onslaught of degeneracy and all other things clown/kike-related.

Regardless of which dates one chooses to constitute the marking of the 'start' of the USA empire and the 'end' of the USA empire, the USA is right on schedule with total collapse.

Depending on the date that is chosen for its 'start', the clearly-defined 'end' year can be subjective:

  • some may say it has already occurred and it just that more are becoming aware of the smell of the rotting corpse
  • others might think that we're right at the point where a clearly-defined end could happen any day
  • yet others might think that the country could still be several years away from clear collapse

Summary excerpt:

As numerous points of interest have arisen in the course of this essay, I close with a brief summary, to refresh the reader's mind.

(a) We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. (b) In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. (c) This average has not varied for 3,000 years. Does it represent ten generations? (d) The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:

  • The Age of Pioneers (outburst)
  • The Age of Conquests
  • The Age of Commerce
  • The Age of Affluence
  • The Age of Intellect
  • The Age of Decadence

(e) Decadence is marked by:

  • Defensiveness
  • Pessimism
  • Materialism
  • Frivolity
  • An influx of foreigners
  • The Welfare State
  • A weakening of religion

(f) Decadence is due to:

  • Too long a period of wealth and power
  • Selfishness
  • Love of money
  • The loss of a sense of duty

(g) The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. (h) Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. (i) History should be taught as the history of the human race, though of course with emphasis on the history of the student's own country.

As a note for perspective with the USA as an example, the American Revolutionary War (The Age of Pioneers/"outburst") is stated as having occurred from 1775-1783, and thusly the following "Ages" also occurred in sequence as they have in empires throughout history.

The Age of Decadence is well underway and signifies that we are nearly at the point of total collapse. From 1783 until 2021 is a period of 238 years that the USA empire existed. Regardless of which dates one chooses to constitute the marking of the 'start' of the USA empire and the 'end' of the USA empire, the USA is right on schedule with total collapse that was intentionally brought about. Though depending on what date is chosen for its 'start', its clearly-defined 'end' is likely to be within just a few years or even within a mere couple of months.

I had hoped to find time to go through and cross-reference his examples of fallen empires with the list of kike expulsions from countries through history to see if there is any overlap. I haven't been able to get time to dedicate to the task yet. I intended to analyze how soon before the total collapse of the empire did they wise up to the subversive jew and kick them out. Doing this could help to possibly determine at what point before a total collapse may be a 'point of no return' in jew subversion where the expelling of the kikes and severing their influence would make no difference on preventing the collapse of the society and the empire.

I believe the USA had already gone beyond this point quite some time ago, but if someone were able to tackle this task, the information may be helpful to some in other White nations to possibly give them a 'deadline' by which they must remove the kikes and their influence from their society and nation before then or fall like so many others have.

I grabbed a copy of The Fate Of Empires just in case. I definitely need to read the whole thing.

Thanks for the comment. That book is a hidden gem. It may be one of the most important books ever written.
