I'm more than halfway done with Dugin's 4th Political Theory, which is banned on Amazon. So far, very impressed at what he has done here, which is essentially elaborate the core philosophy of the 'multipolar world', in 2009. The core philosophy he draws on is Heidegger's being and time and the phenomenology.

While I don't agree with a lot of things he says, he is able to effectively argue philosophically why some much of the world will have very different values than the West and reject liberalism. Dugin is extremely red pilled and pulls no punches. It is highly provocative but also insightful in how he elaborates how in their view there is no 'civilization' or 'culture' that is superior to another. So in the BRICS geopolitical mindset they cannot say that Africa, South America, or Middle Eastern countries are 'backward' compared to the West or Eastern Europe are subhuman slavs compared to the 'West'. Thus the idea of '3rd world' or developing country, or 'authoritarian regime' is rejected by them as an artificial measurement that suits the values of Westerners in measuring their own system.

In the ideology of BRICS and the multi-polar world, Germany & Japan are occupied nations that lost their real culture and got mentally and physically colonized by anglo-saxon neoliberal capitalism, and got enslaved. The vision of the multi-polar world is returning to pre-WW2 times of great power competition rather than the US controlling the global system.

The core dream of BRICS and the multi-polar world, and the Russian/Chinese foreign policy goal is to 'manage the United States' from being a hegemonic superpower to a 'normal great power' with as little cost as possible.

Now, due to Ukraine, Iran, US problems, and also US turning its back on Europe the political forces are mobilizing for re-armament in both Germany and Japan, reversing their fate after WW2. This ironically shows that neoliberalism under the authority of the hegemonic US power is quickly fading away.

Everything Trump is doing internationally is simply accelerating the collapse of US hegemony and power. Abandoning international law, UN, NATO, international institutions and the rules based international order for the law of the jungle and short-erm greed.

Whether he realizes it or not in a way he is a BRICS asset of final US withdrawal from the globe regardless of how many Tariffs he throws at other countries.

Let's see...

25% tariff on European cars

troop removals from Germany, threatening Italy & Spain

1 hr call with Putin with Putin offering to 'hold Iranian uranium' to end Iran war...

'You are fake news..'

-US sending huge amounts of war material to Israel

-US deploying long range 'dark eagle' hypersonic missiles to Iran because they say that the Iranians are firing missiles out of range of US launchers. These missiles cost $41 million a piece and only 2 are made a month...........

If Bernie won the presidency all the elites would just pool their resources to get rid of him...

The Daily Wire has a lot of layoffs recently- suggesting that the propaganda company is in trouble.

The company flooded youtube with extremely long and expensive ad campaigns astroturfing Ben Shapiro's annoying face/voice, literally posting entire shows as ads that could go on for an hour + if they weren't skipped. They also very quickly created a zoomer propagandist (Brett Cooper) with a huge & artificial YT following but she left after a short period of time.

Part of the problem could be that people find Ben to be annoying AF.

Erika Kirk overall is getting a lot of hatred on the internet. While I haven't followed her antics at Turning Point the consensus is that she appears to be a complete sociopath grifter and very creepy- energetically taking over the company and exploiting her husband's death with phony theatrics that are immediately transparent and not consistent with a supposedly grieving widow.

She is getting accused of not caring about her husband's death and more concerned with self-gain, also being very fake and off-putting as a leader.

CNN Founder Ted Turner died at 87. Trump is likely to post some smack....

Finished the audiobook for Dugin's 4th Political theory. It definitely too a book that needs to be listened to twice to fully grasp his arguments.

I now understand why his writings are banned in the US- they rationalize the actions global South and the Russians that is inconvenient, and potentially dangerous for the powers to be. This book is clearly written for a global audience with its focus on critiquing American neo-liberalist capitalism, globalization, American imperialism, and exploring the multipolar world. It is also a far-right rationalization of why Russians support the Russian imperial state, under the command of the FSB/Putin and also an argument about what the future of the global south and multipolar world entails.

Dugin, in the second half moves in to the philosophy of time and consciousness and how it is different for the far-right orthodox Christian Russian. This requires familiarity with the philosophers of the Western cannon. He also prevents a traditional (effectively far right today and what was 'normal' in the West during and before WW2) anti-individualist psychological consciousness and why some people, in this case the Russians and the multipolar world, such as communist Chinese choose a hierarchy that moves the nations towards a future point in history.

American Christianity is characterized as a 'Calvinist'/corrupted form of garbage Christianity that is highly supported of a materialistic rather than a spiritual culture. So Dugin argues that Western countries are filled with people and societies that in essence do not have a real history except for progression towards dystopian materialism and capitalist oligarchy. So he says that this is 'post-modern' culture- the atomization of the individual.

While in the 'authoritarian' regimes, the state as well as a radically different human consciousness of the peoples moves the people towards having a real history and culture in the first place. The people are thus radically different than secular 'economic man' who cares only about money and the things it can buy them. Dugin emphasizes living moment to moment with both the Past and the Future embedded.

The most obvious people like this are North Koreans and the Soviets, who occupy an extreme, while in today's Russia there exist a mix of liberal, western, traditional and totalitarian elements.

US Vs Iranian naval battles have already begun and NASA FIRMS shows numerous ships burning.
