"1KYAE"
#1
I am sure many of you have heard of the concept of the 1KYAE (1000 Year American Empire) by now. This idea was made popular by - and possibly invented by? - Paul Skallas aka. "Lindyman". Most of what he says is crude and thoughtless/retarded, although the premise of this in particular is more valid than other things he says (broken clock etc). 

It is, more or less, the concept that the United States of America is exceptional in exporting its cultural aspects globally, as well as ideology, among other things, creating a cultural hegemony that will last a very long time. Perhaps someone could provide a more concise or different interpretation of this, but that appears to be the gist of it. Basically, the implications of it are American exceptionalism, but ZOGged. 

There's no doubt that at this moment, the US is culturally dominant worldwide and is not meaningfully challenged for this throne. Many contemporary popular foreign cultural trends can frequently be traced back to having US origins (e.g. Kpop). However, the 1K aspect seems like a speculative afterthought of someone who cannot conceptualize anything beyond his lifetime beyond the scope of "Lindy" or "Not Lindy". At the current pace of things, there is little reason to think that the US will not be virtually unrecognizable in 1K years - far less than that, even - in the worst possible way. It is grimly amusing to entertain how well it could or couldn't project its influence if/when it is full of stunted goblinesque creatures.

Anyway, although Lindyman tends to have little of value to say, this would be an interesting topic to approach from the implications of it alone, regardless of validity.

I may be way off here, but I thought the 1KYAE was a parody or allusion to the idea of the 1000 Year Reich that Nazi's were aiming for.

I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.

It only appears to vaguely allude to it on a surface level, just with the name. Conceptually, it has nothing to do with the Third Reich, and when people talk about a 1000 Year Reich now, it's virtually always done in an alt-history/"what if" context. 

None of the things pointed out as being emblematic of the 1KYAE according to Skallas have anything to do with said Reich in any recognizable fashion, outside of the paradigm of "civilizations that could (have) conceivably last(ed) for a very long time". However, similar concepts have existed long before it, so it may not necessarily be what he was going for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennialism

Largely true take, but nonetheless it's dominion seems so totalizing, and it's worth looking into why that is. As we know, before the United States was the 'carrier of the West,' that position was pretty definitively held by the British Empire. While in many ways French was still a common language for matters in high culture, English had for quite sometime been shifting to become the lingua franca. British power begins to wain as they give up their colonial territory, but for all intents and purposes the system of power was handed over from one Anglo culture to another following the end of the second World War. It was determined that the United States would become the eminent power to hold the flame of the West against the communist menace. Thus one of the current effects someone like Skallas would say is a result of the '1KYAE' really has its roots in earlier British control of the world. Yes, people speak English everywhere, but that was already the on the way to being the case well before we became major power in the global arena.

Secondly, US cultural influence is felt so dominantly due to technological changes. It's not simply that Europeans are subjected to popular Hollywood movies and instrumental jazz music, they're subjected to a number of other American cultural trends because they spend time on American-made social media sites like Twitter and Instagram and Facebook. 4chan, despite having posters from all over the globe, is an American site where everyone speaks in English. Maybe there are smaller imageboards just for French or German speakers, but those seems to be very minor in the influence: people who want to be heard seem properly enticed to just engage in the wider, global (aka American) culture. Modernism has always been leading to the destruction of local cultures and languages, the internet just exacerbates this more quickly. The only country that has developed their own media sites, as far as I'm aware, is China. But China is so disgusting and unlikeable to the outside viewer that even if one could access Chinese sites, no one would care to do it.

The United States is on a downward spiral, that's certainly true: fissures are showing in terms of their global control, and the native population is being flooded with swarthoid masses who will never be able to live up to earlier stocks of immigrants from Europe, let alone the founding anglo stock. But how much will this change America's cultural dominance? That I'm not sure of. As it stands, it appears that many countries partake in the obsession with coontunes--yes, I've heard tales that Frenchmen and Britishers really do listen to nigger rappers like Kendrick Lamar or Future. Countries in Europe had their own BLM marches, even ones that had very small African populations, or without a history of colonialism. Surely some of these protests were exacerbated by American NGOs, which would have less influence if the US continues to spiral. But how many German libtards are there, for instance, who simply log onto TikTok and see some obese sheboon talking about 'muh opression' and get teary-eyed, and then become ardent 'anti-racists?' I assume there are many such cases! I've even seen European liberals begin to find GYPSIES on twitter, an obvious case of conceptual anti-racist drift if I've ever seen it. Apparently in a reversal of roles, French officials have bemoaned the spread of American ideas on race and gender and how they are tearing apart French society, and having a deleterious effect on French culture. Of course, I'm not agreeing with Lindyman that the 1KYAE will actually last 1,000 years. That seems patently absurd. But I do think America's cultural influence will continue to be a cancer across the globe even if we continue to go into political decline, simply because of existing systems that can easily exist despite shifts in geopolitical power.

Adding more to tie up some lose ends. The reason for bringing up French concern about American ideas is because, as everyone knows, for a long time France was the country that was dominating cultural trends throughout the cultured Western world, both at the higher end with regards to political theory and philosophical ideas, as well as with things like fashion and literature, which also appealed to a more middle class background. France's cultural influence didn't wain immediately when their political influence was eclipsed by other countries, either. By the 1950s and 60s France was essentially relegated to being a secondary power on the global stage, but nonetheless, French theory was all the craze within the Western world. America's cultural influence could continue to be dominant in just the same way I think, and it could even do so more effectively considering it's largely of a more vulgar, and simplified nature. It's easier to package Ibrahm Kendi or Robin DiAngelo into tiktok videos than it is to espouse Derridean theory on 'signs, structure, and play.'

China seems to care little for meaningfully exporting their culture globally outside of emigration. Most people by now have heard things like "China buys entire economy of African shithole due to debt" as though they are on the cusp of becoming the next economic and cultural hegemon. Everything they've been doing and have done pales in comparison the global influence of the US. China is set up for catastrophe in the near future, which their circlejerking sinocommie bureaucrats have tried to rectify far too late, and the only conceivable way it would beat the US is via not imploding as much during a demographic and economic race to the bottom. The Chinese know that China sucks - I am not going to get into how it is so degenerate, that's another topic - that's why the more well-off and connected among them consistently send their children to Western schools abroad, to name one example. There is a grey area about how much of this is due to education, and how much due to prestige, but they benefit from it all the same. All the bluster on news sites or social media about the US being so much worse than them is almost always in some way connected to the PRC's PR teams, that or a pinko zoomer or millennial smugly parroting these talking points in an attempt to sound knowledgeable and hating on the West for the wrong reasons.

I don't have a definitive answer to this question either, as it is speculative, but what needs to be mentioned is that culture has become increasingly downstream of economics. I am not aware of any instance of economic collapse enabling a flourishing of culture, unless there is some instance lost in the annals of history. The US is so successful in this largely due to their sheer economic power coupled with technological facilitation, rather than it being intrinsically valuable for them to export it. The exposure to this "e-culture", for lack of a better term, is aggressive and almost ubiquitous online, and it important to note this would be much more contained if not for the vast amount of financial resources poured into maintaining and promoting these apps. Many users just end up going with the flow due to the overwhelming amount of it, not too different from your cancer analogy. This is what is trendy, this is what is cool, this is what is socially acceptable to them now. Being discontent with this means you'll be told to touch grass/get bitches or whatever by its devotees.

Now, there has always been a mutual relationship between culture and economics - I'm not insinuating that this is a novelty spawned from the Information Era - but as you said, technology is a major factor in facilitating culture exports in the current era. Barring a collapse into localism or effective tribalism globally, a cultural challenger to the US also has to be an economic one. If the US cannot maintain or further develop its economic abilities, it is difficult to see them maintaining, much less expanding their cultural influence in the long run.

To challenge the idea of the 1KYAE, we must consider who can meaningfully challenge this mantle of the West, as Svevlad put it. China? Russia? India? Brazil? I don't believe so, not for the foreseeable future. The primary cause of US losing their position will have to be largely self-inflicted by the looks of things. Its legacy wouldn't vanish overnight either; it would be much like that of Rome, or perhaps like your more contemporary example in France.

It's fascinating. I was talking to an American expat living in a poor, central African country recently. Americanization has actually been accelerating in the last few years. While the Financial Times publishes Roussinosian jeremiads about the coming age of multipolarity, the third world is becoming more and more connected to the first world via the internet. Africans without running water have smartphones now, and they spend significant portions of their meager incomes on pay-per-gigabyte internet access. Dress codes for women have gone from austere to American in just a few years. Joel Osteen-style prosperity gospel evangelicalism is spreading like wildfire: an unironic embrace of a farcical 21st century Weberian "protestant work ethic", without the work ethic, as the road to material prosperity and convergence with the first world.

Along with Russia's failure to mount a serious challenge to the IKYAE, this has heightened my confidence that we right-wing dissidents in the West pose the only serious challenge to the status quo. There is no other alternative.

Simple: Australia.

After the impending Nuclear war ravages the Northern hemisphere (and assuming Nuclear winter isn't real), a based Aussie ethnostate will conquer the seas and bring peace and prosperity to all who remain, as it will be the most developed and stable white nation remaining. Simple as.

Yes. Any real belief in le based Eurasian anti-zog blah blah alliance of the second/third world ended when Russia failed to conquer Ukraine in a month tops.
It should be also noted that it's very unlikely the type of people who promote the "Pax Sinica" or whatever really do believe in what they say. You're telling me these White Westerners really want the Chinese government to rule over them?
Yeah sure buddy, replace a failing government with the government aligned with wholly foreign cultural attitudes.
The West is in this mess because of Western ideas, and only new Western ideas can get it out.

At what part of the road are we driving on right now, though? Is the system finally collapsing as some may say, or are we just about to hit any turning point to an even deeper hell, with salvation far far away? Who knows. Who nose.

What many "Turbo-America" theorists tend to neglect is the fact that America's ruling ideology is not just a random philosophy, but is actively anti-Truth, anti-Nature, and ultimately anti-Vitality. Yes, America has many resources, technology, current hegemony, and no worthwhile competitors - this is all true, and the hegemony is guaranteed for the near future. But our rulers are not cool, cynical, cigar-chomping Illuminati CIA Operation Paperclip Nazis like your average Norwood (left or right) would like you to believe (the implicit message in such a belief being that only the handsome, healthy, and independently-thinking can be evil). They are dysgenic morons and 100% believe their own bullshit. With every anti-Vitality policy, America increases its debt to Truth, which must ultimately be paid. Diversity hires, affirmative action, etc. will make everything worse. The army will be trannies, 4'8" Guatemalan women, and negresses, as it is quickly becoming. If you maintain a proper racist praxis, and remind yourself that these people are objectively worse on almost every metric (to the point that not even technology will likely help them - they're retarded!), the fear of an all-controlling, 1984 Eternal Weimerica world domination fades. The REAL danger and threat of America is that, in its spiral of egalitarian self-immolation, it destroys the West and obliterates White people in the process. ISIS was doomed from the start, but that didn't stop it from wreaking irreversible havoc. Collapse is already inevitable - but if We, or those like Us, do not act and seize power, this "Collapse" will simply be everything getting worse for a century or two. This is why "Accelerationism" is retarded and a cope - "Actually, when we lose and our enemies win, we're actually secretly winning!" What must be done now is to avoid the Eye of Sauron that is Feds while building networks, resources, social capital etc. in preparation to support the Great Man when he arrives - or even to be this Man! Remember that just by being on this forum you have proven that you are in the top 0.001% of human quality.

ZOG/America is like a Jenga tower. The whole apparatus is just layers and layers of cope and financial/theoretical trickery to further and further hide the elite from the truth. Of course the average Joe notices this in the way that most politicians run on short term goals rather than long term ones. The whole system is just COPE.
We are like the Soviets after WW2, lying more and more until eventually some truly catastrophic event (for the USSR it was Chernobyl) with such a magnitude of real world consequences that it could no longer be possibly hidden occurs, yet the elite will continue to lie until it is too late.
It may collapse in two centuries or collapse tomorrow, it doesn't change the core fact.
You need to act as if tomorrow the entirety of the European race, and therefore the entirety of civilisation as far as we are concerned, vanishes tomorrow, if you do nothing to change that.
Be the Hitler you want to see in the world. If enough men act with that attitude, eventually one will rise up and be a true equal to him.

The Holy Spirit was prophesying through you as you wrote this! "Waiting for the collapse" and "resigning to Turbo-America" are both paths of inaction and surrender, and thus of suicide! We must encourage action in everything.
But I think that the problem that many people has is that they feel lost and don't know where to go or what to do. I suppose this is a topic for the "Path to Power" thread, but the lack of clear consensus for strategy on the Right is an issue. I suppose what you ought to do is of course contingent on your particular Talents and inborn Abilities as well as your Station and Vocation in life, but a clearer united consensus as to what should and should not be done is necessary. Civil war? Involvement in local politics? Infiltrating the Republican Party? Swaying over dissident elites (Yarvin's "dork elves" [sic]) with Thiel-funded Substack articles and podcasts? An Afrikaner-style "retreat to the fortresses" strategy? I feel as though many potential Alexanders, Caesars, Napoleons and Hitlers of our age suffer from option paralysis from all of the different factions pulling towards this strategy or that. This must be worked on.

Thank you for the compliment, I am but a simply meek Antipodean.
I am in no way qualified to give proper advice on "what to do", and yes I completely agree that the Great Men of our age are paralysed with no plan, but they all have a theme.
Hitler and Napoleon in particular, both originated as "enemies" of what they became. Napoleon espoused Republican ideals but turned back on them once had the power, and Hitler was a fed for crying out loud.
But what do Hitler and Napoleon also have in common? They took advantage of their situation.
I know better of Napoleon, so I'll speak of him here: Napoleon was destined to be just another average officer in the French Army if it had not been for the fact that the vast majority of the other officers had died or fled due to their association with nobility and (more importantly) their inability to simply bite the silver bullet and profess Republican ideals. So, Napoleon was quickly shifted into a position he normally wouldn't have been and won Toulons with flying colours. But more importantly, he turned likely defeat in the so-called "lesser campaign" in Italy into one of the greatest campaigns in military history, on par with Alexander and al-Walid's conquests.
What did Christ say? "No man shall know the hour." This also applies to the "Happening" or the "moment of opportunity."

So what can be done? What can be done is to PREPARE. One must form proper friendships, a proper Mannerbund, and this should be WITHOUT political context. The best alliances form naturally among like-minded individuals, and are completely untraceable by the feds. The next Great Man will find his inner core at his local gym rather than some internet group.
I can assure you the next Great Man won't be shooting up Black churches, that's for sure.
The next Great Man will also not care that much for e-celebs or "DR intellectuals". Napoleon studied the art of WAR not the art of political theory. He was lead by INTUITION, and his love of the GREAT MEN OF THE PAST. Is Yarvin a "Great Man"? BAP? NJF? Woods? Spencer?

A tower of lies is much easier to tear down when you target the building itself rather than the guardsmen surrounding it, or the enemy army kilometres away.

P.S. If I were to add one more thing on: It seems to be that a running theme with Great men is that the country they come to rule is adjacent to their home nation.
Napoleon was Corsican, not French.
Hitler was Austrian, not German.
Stalin was Georgian, not Russian.

The "Great Man" of current ZOG-America will probably be from Canada, Australia or New Zealand. But don't take my word as fact, this is a far less concrete prediction than my other ones.

AGAIN, we must all strive to be LIKE a Great Man, so that when the true one arises we will all be the more useful for him.
#13
Napoleon in fact read a large amount of books, ranging from Plato's Republic to de Buffon's Natural History.

Anyway, another thing has to be pointed out: none of Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin pursued forming "friendships, a proper Mannerbund, and this should be WITHOUT political context" as a way to seize Power.

You are not giving the correct context for my quote. The "way to size power" will present itself at the right time if Providence chooses so.

Did not Napoleon conduct 18 Brumaire with help of his brother, Lucien? Did not nearly everyone involved with Napoleon have met him in the military, APOLITICALLY (yes they all gave lipservice towards Republican ideals, but as we know from their later conduct this was all superficial)?

Those three you have mentioned had more favourable conditions than us: most notably without mass surveillance.
Go on, go post your thread on 4chan/8chan about how you're forming a team to bring down the ZOG.

Did not the Patriots of the American Revolution organise around EXISTING social networks?

I think that the importance of internut is in spreading not just ideas, but codewords or shibboleths among like-minded people. Quick example I give - I recently moved out of friend and roommate's house to live with my wife, and so he got new roommates. He told me that one of them, a military man of Bolivian Andid descent, had been talking about him and criticizing Jared Diamond. I new instantly that he was one of us, for I had never heard any criticism of this man except from HBD people. This is a great example of something you can say that will not raise any normgroid alarms, and only those in the know will understand. I then gave a few more subtle pokes - off-handed mentions of "Sneed," "books by perverts of the bronze age variety," "Hyperborea," etc. - his eyes lit up in recognition at all three, and then the trust was instantly built.
I have also been blessed by Providence with a tight group of friends from high school. While none of them are quite as actively political as I am, we are all on the same page on anything important and the friend/enemy distinction, and most importantly would fight and die for each other, and in fact have drawn up plans and pacts for if and when the right time comes. Many of them are simple ruralite tradesmen, whose advantage lies in high gun ownership, land ownership, growing their own food, real practical skills, and local community connections; but quite a few others are also natural elites who are or were in university, being prepared to go off into high-paying elite jobs in the fields of science, business, or medicine. I tried many times to forge an artificial "Mannerbund" based on a political or religious movement, and it was only after all those things failed that I realized that God had already given me a Mannerbund, of the only proper type a Mannerbund can be - natural, effortless, and based on natural ties of loyalty and camaraderie.

Are other countries adapting American customs or are they adapting a set of customs that America happens to have?

Let me phrase things differently:

Americans tend to see social change as a result of civic participation. There are movements and they have leaders. Women won their emancipation (and it's true - they were freed as much as any serf was by the events of the 19th and 20th centuries) due to brave suffragettes such as Susan B. Anthony et. al  fighting for their rights.

Interestingly enough, this seemed to occur at almost the same time in countries with no civic life to participate in at all. The Soviet Union, China under the CCP, and Germany during the National Socialist period all saw significant advancements among women within a very short time after the Anglosphere. Yes, some of these places had swing music and a few dubbed American films, but they weren't importing American culture in any significant amount. In the USSR in particular the importance of American culture was minuscule  compared to the effects that French had had in the preceding period, and we don't see Czarist Russia having anything to do with libertie, egalitie, and fraternatie.

What these countries did have in common was that they reached a certain degree of economic development. That's what spurred these cultural changes, that's what ended feudalism, and that's what caused the decline of agricultural slavery. Material circumstances are not completely responsible for culture, as Marxists would have you believe. But they are extremely important when it comes to the participation of women in the public workforce, which necessitates the changing of cultural norms.



Why do Americans believe that these are these events are the result of civic participation? An idealistic national ethos which holds Democracy as sacred? Maybe. But if you were to ask me it's simply easier to test schoolchildren with rote memorization. Why did African Americans gain protection from the Federal government halfway through the 20th century? It's because civil rights = Martin Luther King had a Dream. That's an 'A' for little Timmy and continued state funding for Robert E. Lee Memorial High School.

Americans tend to see social change as a result of civic participation. There are movements and they have leaders. Women won their emancipation (and it's true - they were freed as much as any serf was by the events of the 19th and 20th centuries) due to brave suffragettes such as Susan B. Anthony et. al  fighting for their rights.

Interestingly enough, this seemed to occur at almost the same time in countries with no civic life to participate in at all. The Soviet Union, China under the CCP, and Germany during the National Socialist period all saw significant advancements among women within a very short time after the Anglosphere. Yes, some of these places had swing music and a few dubbed American films, but they weren't importing American culture in any significant amount. In the USSR in particular the importance of American culture was minuscule  compared to the effects that French had had in the preceding period, and we don't see Czarist Russia having anything to do with libertie, egalitie, and fraternatie.

What these countries did have in common was that they reached a certain degree of economic development. That's what spurred these cultural changes, that's what ended feudalism, and that's what caused the decline of agricultural slavery. Material circumstances are not completely responsible for culture, as Marxists would have you believe. But they are extremely important when it comes to the participation of women in the public workforce, which necessitates the changing of cultural norms.



Why do Americans believe that these are these events are the result of civic participation? An idealistic national ethos which holds Democracy as sacred? Maybe. But if you were to ask me it's simply easier to test schoolchildren with rote memorization. Why did African Americans gain protection from the Federal government halfway through the 20th century? It's because civil rights = Martin Luther King had a Dream. That's an 'A' for little Timmy and continued state funding for Robert E. Lee Memorial High School.

I wish I went to that school.
I would post the clip of Biden commemorating Lee but Jewtube will do as Jewtube does.

As things are going right now it looks like that the United States is going to lose the hegemony of the third world(africa,asia,latin america) but it's going to strengthen its rule over Europe,canzuk and Japan,with all the negatives that comes with it More color revolutions, deindustrialization, attacks against dissidents & woke pushing,negrolatry and mass inmigration.

the U.S should be regarded as a brown country at this point because young Whites are already a minority.
