Replacing Others isn't that Easy

The Great Replacement can never lead to a cultural replacement, because culture requires perfected routines. Ugliness compounds. Disorder compounds. So the texture of life will become so nasty that it will be impossible to put an optimistic spin on it. America isn’t turning into South America, it’s going one rung lower: it’s becoming a dumpster – and I mean that without hyperbole. It is trashy. The Muslims that are taking over Europe will probably abandon their religion and give up on life as they inherit it.

People think that culture is window dressing. It’s woo. Culture is a perfected relationship with one’s environment. It means that the sensitive people cluster with the sensitive people. That the Italians cluster with the Italians. That life is organized, and easy, and warm. A healthy culture minimizes the total amount of effort required to get what you need. Things are handed to you on a silver platter: girlfriends, connections, local wisdom.

Taken to its very extreme, you get the emergence of luck. In a truly organized and repetitive culture, people learn how to alter their routines indirectly. And so you get good luck charms, Jonahs, karma, and curses.

But modern life is just “stuff.” Like wading through a dumpster to find your car keys. Imagine organizing garbage, and making things with it. Most people would rather leave it, and pile on more garbage.

You’re right that we’re moving a rung down.

This is because culture stacks.

For example, a young man from a town outside Munich will have:

his town’s culture, stacked on

Bavarian cultural influence, stacked on

being German,

then Germanic,

then European at large.

The issue we have is the bottom layer of half of Americans’ stacks is completely different from the others

Sure, two white guys in the 1940s might’ve been different at the top layers, maybe an Ethnic Brit and Italian from different neighborhoods, but their base layers were the same.

It’s why Latin America, like you mentioned, does okay culture wise. Even if they’re third world, their specific cultures stack on being Latin, Iberian, etc. The conflicts happen at the top and don’t knock the stack over.

America’s cultural problem comes from conflict at the base layers. Even if they’re both Americans from the same city, the conflict between their base layers will push the whole tower over.

The American National layer of the stack was halted mid formation. Like the Germanic states forming the first Reich, America was slowly becoming something whole out of many parts, before it was so rudely interrupted.

Yeah, that’s an interesting point: there are layers to culture.
