One topic conservative thinkers tend to avoid is the worst-case scenario of social collapse. Even though these thinkers are well-aware that all past civilisations fell, somehow, they think that the West is immune to the same disease of old age, and internal treason and corruption that brought down ancient Rome. And one of the reasons for this cognitive dissonance, that is avoidance, may be that like death from a painful cancer, the collapse will not be like the excitement of Hollywood dramas, but will be grim and miserable; think of a wisdom tooth abscess with no dentist. Zerohedge.com, even though it is a libertarian primarily economic blog, has some thoughts on this, oddly enough. They see the Fall as already beginning, and the final crash will be like a giant tree falling after the white ants have eaten away at the foundations. But, I still hope that we can turn back the tide at the last moment. Either way, it is better to know than not know.
