Something is really, really wrong in Europe. There will be books written about this in the future.
Replace Europe with the US and the statement holds just as well. Or China or why not Russia.
We live in bad times.
The reality is that, as long as we don't start firing nukes, we'll all be alright in the end.
My point is that no decade is particularly "good" or "bad" even in peacetime - shit happens all the time. And of course, only 80 years ago most of Europe was in rubbles.
Otherwise I can recommend basically everything by Curtis Yarvin and Kevin Dolan (https://substack.com/@exitgroup, https://substack.com/@exitgroup).
There is a wide and rich ocean of deep thought and historical knowledge in that corner, for those curious and open-minded enough.
