From what I can see, what's happening today is basically what happened to Rome: It split into two parts, the East Roman Empire, which later became the Byzantine Empire, and the West Roman Empire, the originator of Roman Civilization, which later collapsed, but the Byzantine Empire lasted for another 1000 years, developing a culture distinct from Roman culture.
Similarly, Western Civilization has over the course of a century or so, splitting into the Euro-sphere and the Anglo-sphere, with the Euro-sphere in decline, and the Anglo-sphere, though experiencing turmoil, has the potential to survive, and indeed thrive.

After all the "thriving's" finished we of today sure won't recognize what it became.
Primarily because.
...we've not a clue where it started. {g}
