I think you need to explore the Imperium and its structure. The nature of the technology at the disposal of The Regime has them perhaps constructing an empire that does not fit prior civilizations that could not create what modern technology enables.

Let's look at an example. Mass population replacement. How does this work and why? Well we can look at Mayorkas and German news stories to put the picture together. When facing criticism, however tepid, Mayorkas smirked and said that the foreign remittances were critical to keeping happy international partners. At first glance, this makes one think that this is a means for the Empire to bribe foreign governments. Recently Germany announced importing 100,000 Kenyan bus drivers. In touting the benefits a minister stated that the remittances would help Kenya pay off its sovereign debts.

Now we get a fuller picture. The Kenyans come in pay taxes to Germany though they are net drains as any government worker is a net consumer. However, the banks make huge fees on the remittances sent to Kenya. Then, the banks, rather than foreclosing on Kenyan debt, get Kenya to keep payments coming as they tax the remittances directly and via consumption as that money sloshes around Kenya's economy.

So you see, this is creating a global colony designed to keep debt payments paid up. Recently Walmart announced opening up major distribution centers in central America. This too, is funded by mass population replacement and remittances sent from SouthAmerIndian helots back into central America. So, Walmart has American dispossession funding expansion into Central America. I am sure Home Depot and other corporations are doing the same.

This is an entirely different kind of empire and an entirely different kind of of conquest. It isn't martial like previous empires. I think that any analysis has to take into account the radically different nature of this imperial apparatus and how it works.

Ultimately, can this empire keep Occidental man affluent enough as he is dispossessed so that a larger and newer class of consumers can arise off of the back of his dispossession. Will the cultural genocide underway to invite in the new consumers agitate Occidental Man as he sees his dispossession and erasure on every billboard, screen, book, city square, museum, heritage site ... ... ?

And if he does get very uncomfortable, how in this new structure might a Caesar arise and do so effectively? What tie does he have to become a Caesar rather than capitulate and plug himself into the bug hive? Caesar and his men had every incentive and they had an extremely strong network and deep seated trust and sense of brotherhood developed in war. How is that possible today even as Occidental Man begins to stir and understand his predicament?

Early indications are that Musk, Andreesen, Dimon ... ... are on top of the international system and have every incentive to perpetuate it, not to interrupt it and limit the beneficiaries of the Empire to Americans. Its expansion is dependent upon lessening benefits to Americans. Our destruction is to the good of The Empire. The nation state is dissolved of its key ingredient, the nation. All identity is dissolved, and the corporate brand is the new banner to rally around, and the megalomaniac CEO is the new hero as he goes to the Ted Talk arena to dispense with pedestrian banalities and cliches. Martial endeavor is replaced with religious fervor expressed by consuming. By this Red wristband made by slave labor in Africa to help end poverty in Africa.

As for culture. It is no longer produced by and for Occidental Man. So, there is that to contend with as well. Sorry for the ramble. Great series of articles and thought provoking. Structure is important. Perhaps bring in Evola and the end of RAMW for his prediction for the dissolution of The West.
