my basic view is that the future will look much more like the past than the present. we are at the end of a great historical abnormality: this level of cultural stability and homogeneity, and relative secularism is over. we’re going back to the basics of violence and divine faith

it’s hard to imagine how the west escapes a “years of lead” situation without a providing a prosperous alternative to state violence. debt as the central palace religion is dead now, you can’t bring it back. the only thing left for you is savage violence.
