Quo Vadis for Western Civilization: The Rebirth of the West’s Civilizational Confidence
American Greatness ^ | November 18, 2025 | Bradley A. Thayer

Western nations face a breaking point as elites push policies their people reject, leaving the future of Western civilization hanging in the balance.

Decades in the making, Western civilization faces a profound crisis in its political leadership. The problem the West confronts is clear: for too long, Western leaders in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. willfully abandoned the core principles of Western Civilization. They adopted policies that were both foreign and antithetical to the historical civilization of their countries and the societies that their fathers and mothers knew, which had, in fact, nurtured the very leaders who then labored to destroy it.

These policies, including multiculturalism and progressivism, were anchored in Marxist-Leninist thought. Their impact has been catastrophic. Their consequence is that the future of Western Civilization is now in the balance. This was done deliberately.

The policies had the effect of weakening the Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment core principles of the West. These included intentional and sustained efforts to evict these principles from the public space while opening their borders to mass immigration from non-Western peoples. This has been done so massively and so quickly that most Western European states, including Ireland, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, are at great risk of destabilization. Importantly, those states that rejected mass immigration, Hungary and Poland, are not.

The populations of these great nations demand an end to mass immigration, while their leadership refuses to accept their demand as legitimate. This cruel fact is the source of the legitimacy crisis faced by so many Western European governments. It fuels the public’s deep cynicism and suspicion that these elites have betrayed them. Indeed, they have.

In reality, the elites will not change their policy and end mass immigration. The public, having learned the lessons from previous betrayals, expects that their elites...

The days of Hey, hey. Ho, ho Western Civ has got to go may be coming to a close

People are learning what many of us knew all along- Western Civ is the only Civ we got and the Lefts alternative is what we see playing out in our society because of the absence of of western civilization

As the claim is that we are attempting to "regain" something - if we look at the attitudes of the West 100+ years ago - the West not only needs cultural confidence, but an attitude of cultural superiority.

Are Westerners prepared to do a 180 degree turn from the neo-marxist propaganda they've been flooded with for 50+ years and say "we REJECT Islam. We REJECT African tribalism, etc... - Not merely because it is not our culture, but because it is inferior as a system of belief, law, economics and social organization."

Getting westerners to say this, without a major crisis and radical shift in beliefs, will be a very hard slog.

In the past also, there was a racial component as well, which now has been completely rejected. So we can't go there, either.

So any revival will be running on one leg of an as-of-yet nonexistant general faith in Western cultural superiority, through a very muddy present terrain of established Neo-marxism.

The revival of Western Civilization has an important advantage.

It is based on historical accuracy and obvious improvements of the human condition created by Western Civilization.

The concept of the superiority of Western Civilization has been proved on the test of the battle field for five centuries.

The Decadence of Western Civilization in America erupted into the open, like a bubo betokening bubonic plague, as the counter-culture revolution of the 1960's.

Few people recognized it for what it was.

The stupid celebrated it.

Pray that the Election of President Trump and the Revolution he has sparked will mark the rejection of the Decadence by a vast majority of the American People and a return to the Ascendance of Western Civilization.

President Trump believes that it is just such a Herald. He has proclaimed a New Golden Age, that the Best Is Yet To Come!

Pray that he is right!

He has a wonderful way of foretelling Truth!

The American People have a wonderful way of recognizing Truth and great Heroes when they appear!

‘Quo Vadis for Western Civilization’

“Domine quo vadis” translates from Latin to “Lord, where are you going?”

Thanks for the thread.

Had there been no “Western Civ” foundation for us to build OUR civilization on, humans would have a short, brutal and VERY violent existence! Think constant tribal warfare, and woeful ignorance and poverty; i.e., the so-called “Third World.”
