The Jewish enforced schism between north, and South Korea will soon disappear. Just like the Marxist split up Germany, and destroyed the German family, and then failed, the whole globalist destruction of the world will fail in Korea. Once oil becomes prohibitively expensive, and it will, Korea will reunite as one nation with one language with a culture focused and based on family.

I hope so, for their good.

I'm consistently amazed by street footage of Pyongyang. Its irrelevant that it's curated, it's still incredible that they've built such a city without any oil, not-to-mention that they've built nuclear weapons and shot satellites into space. North Korea has a level of industrial sophistication that would leave it unmatched by any country if there was a break down in the globalist system. Very bullish long-term.

Three more are needed. Reindustrialization, which will requires state banks like North Dakota. Debt cancellation to allow both families and small business to start over. And an end to no-fault divorce, except in case of infertility. This would help create new and larger job ecosystem, saving money for investment rather than debt service, and a serious focus on long terms. In case, there is resistance to reform, then the clan system will pursue those policies themselves, creating a credit union for their members and forcing the norms.

It seems like some "3rd world" nations are beginning to be aware of the liberalism plague. Milei in South America, Bukele in Central America, Niger in West Africa and Uganda in Eastern Africa all seem to be making moves against GloboHomo. Do you think they can reverse demographic trends in the near future or do you think liberalism is too powerful to resist until the bad blood is bred out?

I don't think they can reverse demographic trends unless they decouple from the "international community", and even that it may be too late. Starlink just launched in Africa. Africans can now get a direct injection of porn, feminism, and libertarianism 24/7. Imagine what happens when they get KFC. It's over for them. They just need to go through the liberalism crucible, and it's going to be ugly.

Interesting article, like always. Have you considered taking a look at the world through the lens of energy consumption/supply? I know you’re familiar with the concept of EROI. I’d be interested to read your thoughts on how falling EROI is playing into falling fertility. Your analysis revolves around political-ideological roots and causes, but what about physics based roots and causes? Reduce the energy fed in to a system, or make it more expensive, and the system must contract: economically and demographically.

Yes, this is something we've given a lot of thought to. I can't say yet but we have something big coming re: EROI.

You’re probably already aware, but there’s a decent body of work going back forth or so years on energy economics, energy density, and EROI. I’m very familiar with this topic, and it’s been helpful in explaining the course of history in broad strokes as well as charting a course for the near future, but I only came across your writings fairly recently. I’d love to see an analysis that fuses the energy economics framework and your critique of liberalism to explain past, present and future.

Tim Morgan over at the Surplus Energy Economics blog has an energy-based model of the real economy, and by his measure real economic prosperity in Europe peaked about twenty years ago, over a decade ago in the US, and is peaking now in China. Prosperity and specifically expectations for future prosperity are linked to fertility.

Excellent case study on how the Liberal virus infects different societies. The priestly/knightly distinction makes perfect sense, and explains alot (including why I'm drawn to cultures like Japan and Mongolia, because I share the knightly demeanor). I've noticed other commentators like to bring up South Korean bans on porn/faggotry/abortion, etc, compare to their abysmal TFR, then use this to attempt to deny the sterilizing effects of Liberalism. This of course completely ignores the massive variable of feminism & gender equality, which sinks their fertility like a lead weight. Those other measures may be helpful, but it's not nearly enough to fill in the smoking crater left by feminism -- likewise, diet & exercise are recommended, but they won't cure cancer (which is comparable to what GAE has imposed on its satellite state).

Sadly, I think the only way to cure South Korea is the hard way, via conquest by North Korea when Cold War II heats up. I wish it were otherwise, but sometimes bitter medicine is what's needed.

In addition to the greater variability of men resulting in dominance at the top levels, men are smarter on average, so a random man will usually outperform a random woman on intellectual tasks.

As per Mr Hoste, the average man scores about 3IQ higher than the average woman despite the deliberate exclusion of spatial reasoning, which heavily favours men, to close the gap.

Germanics are explorers, inventors and soldiers with honor and loyalty. I think it’s a great disservice to compare Germanics with Koreans, the latter are historically known for being a docile, cowardly and vain people.

Koreans suffer from a deep ethnic inferiority complex toward Japan and China, they destroyed their own native ethnic culture and replaced it with Chinese customs. In modern times, they fabricate history/steal (Japanese, Chinese, Manchurian) culture and promote it as ”Korean History” as to increase their soft power on the world stage. An organic ethnic culture takes time to cultivate.

Korea was a vassal of China since the times of the Roman Republic, before the 1910 Japanese Annexation Treaty Korea was materially, intellectually and morally destitute. Even the Japanese could not fully civilize them, althought their contribution was great.

Imperium Press, I know it’s tempting to blame America for ”corrupting countries with liberalism”, it’s just that Koreans were always a degenerate people:

William Elliot Griffis (1882) Corea The Hermit Nation: ”Corea has no Samurai. She lacks what Japan always had—a cultured body of men, superbly trained in both mind and body, the soldier and scholar in one, who held a high ideal of loyalty, patriotism and sacrifice for the country.”

Charles Claude Dallet (1874) History of The Church In Korea: ”Koreans of both sexes are naturally very passionate; but true love is hardly found in this country because the passion in them is purely physical, the heart has nothing to do. They know that the animal apetite, the instinct of the brute who, to satisfy rushes blindly to the first object within his reach; also moral corruption beyond anything you can imagine. It is such that one can boldly state that more than half of the people do not know their real parents.”

Lee Gwang-su (father of modern Korean litterature) points out many aspects of Korean nationality: false words, fraud, mutual distrust, flowery words, empty arguments and opinions, flattery and truckling, false obedience, adaptation to the majority, shamelessness, abuse, servility, cowardliness, indecision and unsocial selfishness.

Japan is re-arming itself and will not tolerate an attack on Korea by the Stalinist North or a leftist Korean president surrendering Korea to the DPRK and Red China. The Japanese see it as a national security issue (they understood the Russian/Soviet threat and correctly predicted in the early 20th century that bolshevism would take over Asia if Japan were to fall). Korea is the blade pointing at Japan’s heart.

Lastly, North Korean state just like the Eastern Bloc implemented sexual egalitarianism in the form of state mandated contraceptives, women in the factories/universities/military. A form of ”feminism-lite”, if you will.

Liberalism is the problem. There really is no deeper issue than that. Nobody is giving the Russians, North Koreans, or any other illiberal state a pass. They've all done stupid things, but Westernized states have done more, and are the ideological epicentre of things like feminism.

The reason Koreans are suffering worse is not because there's something wrong with Koreans but because there's something wrong with liberalism, and Koreans are susceptible to that something. North Korea is not on track to not exist in 200 years. That's the difference.

Encountering this comment proved quite interesting. I comprehend the perspective of critics who hold some truths about Koreans, and as a Korean myself, I often find that I am my own harshest critic when it comes to evaluating Korea and its people. However, I find that those who with pro-Japanese sentiments often harbor an excessive hatred toward Koreans, which surpasses the reality. While I acknowledge that nationalists across Asia tend to be vocal about their viewpoints, a lot of misinformation always seems to be spread by all sides I find the Japanese to be at the front. Korea has the fourth largest amount of saints in the world with less history of the Catholic Church in Korea than its two neighbors. Nor, were vassals since the times of the Roman Republic of course any influence Japan's neighbors had on itself is always conveniently left out.

Koreans can and are very brutish, yet I find their directness easier to handle as in times of history when leaderless, Koreans have summoned into Righteous Armies to fight off the invaders. On the contrary, I find the concept of "Honne and Tatemae" in Japanese culture, where individuals maintain different outward and inward expressions, to be annoying. While one aspect of Japanese culture promotes a romanticized view of their country, extolling the virtues of the Samurai and their honorable way of life, delving into Japanese history reveals a contrasting reality filled with betrayals and breaches of trust. This duality is perhaps best exemplified by the tumultuous life of figures like Oda Nobunaga, who constantly faced betrayals despite his esteemed status.

Japan's actions led to China falling into the hands of the Communists, and even now your inclination to promote Lee Gwang-su, a pro-Japan writer because of his anti-Korean ideals just does the opposite. By endorsing his views you are validating the many leftists in Korea who hate Lee Gwang-su and what he stands for as the" foundation" of Modern Korean Literature by providing them further justification for replacing the "foundation" of Korean literature with socialist literature as an alternative. Although I've expressed these thoughts, I believe engaging in further discussion may lead to an endless cycle of back and forth. My hope is that those who come across these sentiments approach the narratives of both Korean and Japanese nationalists with a grain of salt and skepticism. Recognizing the complexities historical and cultural narratives of both sides as they both often propagate significant amounts of misinformation.

Germany was destroyed by the hyper violent Kazar that are now running the globalist Empire. Korea was split into northern south by the violent Kazar. The Kazar is a scourge on our earth. They are the Nazis, they are the globalist, they are the warmongers, they are the Zionist, they are the Babylonian Jew. The Koreans are an ancient people with an ancient culture based on personal responsibility, strong families, and honor. The Kazar will do everything they can to destroy culture, family and honor. The Kazar will fail.

I Don’t have economic solutions.

There are none.

Let’s understand the elites in the west including academia have the traditional life but peddle their sterile poison to others, this includes the female boss.

The closest thing to a political solution isn’t democracy.

You can’t give women the vote and not expect this, you can’t elect any government where women get voted out of the vote, no business or financial interests will be anything but against this because of short term profits, and as it happens business, finance, political and legal elites can all afford not only children but young wives; so it’s TRADFAM for them and pods with bug paste for most. Except- this collapses for lack of people as well.

Again, Let’s understand the elites in the west including academia have the traditional life but peddle their sterile poison to others, this includes the female boss. This means nothing they say can be trusted, nor can they.

What political or economic solution offers itself?

It isn’t pretty, and far worse than danger the readers and authors could lose their 401Ks.

I mean let’s be adults here… 🤣

Getting more adult every day 👵🏼

The solution has been implementing itself for a generation. The West is dying, because fundamentally parasitism is its stock-in-trade—literally, parasitism (in the form of the FIRE economy) is the biggest growth industry, along with "education" which is simply ideology. So the West has been suffering economic stagnation while competitors flourish. 30 years ago America could have crushed Russia easily. Today, it must tolerate the destruction of a prospective EU partner. This is a tragedy and not to be celebrated, but the point is, America can no longer avert that tragedy like it once could.

The solution is to push things in the direction they're already going. They won't be able to hold on to power forever.

They must fall, but pushing that way is no more fall then say the British are thrown out in Ireland in 1847. No - the Irish starved or fled. Hungry people don’t fight, they starve.
