I still recommend Jack's Sigma Frame blog.
His recent series on the zeitgeist raises the interesting problem that American society is going down the tubes. It is no longer sustainable because the core of any society is people forming stable households that produce more humans to replace the ones that age and die. It's not just the reproduction of fresh bodies, but the formation and propagation of a way of life.
Guest author "the deti" in the more recent post points out where we are now. American women are no longer capable of forming households with men. Their expectations and self-deification have made it impossible. He lays out just how far it has gone; it all converges into the Black Pill for romance and marriage. Even if we recognize that this is a broad generalization, that doesn't leave much hope. Only in tiny segments of the American population will you find people who are trying to get off that train before it wrecks.
And as we've already discussed on this blog, this is merely the fruit of what America has been all along. Our pagan roots included a very unhealthy dose of female deification. This kind of sickness never goes away unless it's targeted from the beginning. Instead, it has become the very bedrock of American religious identity. Feminism is our national religion, and it is hidden throughout the mainstream of religious institutions.
That we also had a force consciously pushing American society in that direction certainly didn't help, but they didn't create the problem. The invasive presence of a people whose national deity is the ultimate destroyer of human existence was not sufficient for the task. Our own western pagan demon-deities misled us from the start, leaving us wide open.
The only path out of this is the radical rejection of the foundation itself. The mess we are in today is the natural end of American identity. You cannot amend it; you cannot roll back the calendar to some previous state that seemed to work better. Instead of suggesting that God is destroying the West, it's more accurate to say that the West is destroying itself because it never was viable in the first place. The West was born of two other dying cultures that rejected God's Word.
The dire assessment laid out by "the deti" is accurate. All we can do is save ourselves individually. While a covenant community is possible, none of us live together in a physical community. Should the Lord grant our fervent desire to form a new kind of community without geographical proximity, it would be a new thing on the earth. Meanwhile, I believe it's far more likely that we each would become the seed of a future community. When things collapse farther, people will have nothing else.
What we have now is wholly artificial. It's dead and will reach the bottom of its long slide downhill very soon. When the system that supports this fantasy is gone, people will very painfully resort to what nature itself demands. Women will not survive without a male covering, but they are utterly lacking in any experience that helps them know how to do it right. The mess will continue for a long time after the collapse. It will require a whole new generation of men and women who aren't dragging around the baggage of failure.
The only thing we can do to help them is to offer a complete counter, a wholly different society that more closely matches reality as God made it. That's more or less the whole point of this blog.

I think the deti had a blog once before that got shot down. I remember reading it and noting how observant he was.
