Being a bit of an outsider, even among my fellow Dissent righters, I have seen systems collapse, in my nightmares, and now in what seems to be reality, during the daylight hours. Looking at the signs of the times, I see the West, and the world in a much graver situation than ancient Rome faced, although their collapse, from imperial overshoot, excess taxation, general corruption, mass immigration, and the final barbarian invasions of Germanic warriors, took much longer than we have. All the factors for civilisation collapse are present in our modern world, in overdose proportions.
Then there is the Christian eschatological aspect, that the Bible says that goal of human life is not to live in a materialistic consumer paradise, forever, as this Earthly world will pass away and there will be a Great Judgment of both the living and the dead. So, as my time is coming to an end being in ill health now, I ponder the meaning of life and death, before nodding off to sleep. Any day it could be the final sleep.
