The Phoenix Rises from the Ashes of the Old World
TPK Newsletter W12 2025
What's going on in the Western world, genuinely scares me. The United States and the United Kingdom, I believe, are civil war bound, if not already in the pregame of such.
I genuinely believe these two countries are already in a civil war. The US has seen tremendous movement/settling from the two sides of the political compass towards more democratic or republican states. Most Americans (and most Westerners now for that matter) cannot afford an emergency $1000 expense. Political polarisation has grown to the highest basically since the last civil war.
As for the UK, I believe the UK’s last political option is ReformUK, given that fails, that was the last genuine option before forceful kinetic options.
When civilisations’ average age of marriage passes 30, statistically they will have a civil war—no civilisation is barred from this yet. Here are the most recent publically available average ages-of-marriage in the English-speaking Western world:
- UK - Men 33.4, Women 31.5
- USA - Men 30.5, Women 28.6
- AUS - Men 30.6, Women 29.2
- CAN - Men 31.3, Women 28.9
- NZ - Men 30.4, Women 31.8
I think the leftists of America are aware they are on death ground, their movement will crumble if they don’t change the course of the political discussion - people need to jail time for this to be put away. It’s Leftism’s doing—the Overton Window shifted so far right now that everyone can see the corruption and chaos of the Democrat party. Anyone following the cult forming could see that eventually, the most oppressed would lead us, per their ideological alignment—culminating in Kamala Harris. It's a shame she wasn't also gay, trans, and disabled.
What’s next?
Historians predicted a period of Caesarism in America following the natural over-pursuit of social justice. If we look abstractly at Chine and the US, its a classic rising-falling empire collision. China's shedding USD assets - over $74 Billion in Treasuries gone since 2021. BRICS tentatively gearing up to shed the dollar, or at least the frame work already exists. The Western world is too busy imploding to notice.
China recently shook the globe with images of their new landing crafts, which open up a number of new amphibious-landings that weren't otherwise available.


Most research of war gaming of the Taiwan invasion/embargo showed likely win for the Western coalition defeating the Chinese effort to capture the island, albeit with significant losses. I.e. in most games the United States win but loses its navy and a large chunk of its air force.
The world is changing.
Leftism and our misery
Among other staunch predictions these historian academics wrote about the likely stagnation of the sciences due to abuse and mistrust. For years our modern societies have leaned on trust the science and it's science-backed, while the liberal press played cheerleader, or just looked the other way. As a result, they've pushed our cultures to consume and swallow a lethal narrative. For example:
- They lied about the oil industries impact on the environment—Exxon knew in 1977 CO2 would heat us 2-3°C by now, Shell pegged it in 1988 with sea levels up a meter, and the American Petroleum Institute got the memo in 1968 that fossil fuels would cook us by 2000. They sat on it, funded denial for 30 years, all while the liberal press ran softballs, then turned on the public, to shame them for their own carbon footprint.
- They lied about smoking not causing cancer, knew about it for decades—Big Tobacco’s 1950s docs admitted it, but magazines like Time and Life kept printing smiling doctors with cigarettes through the 1960s.
- They lied about fat being the cause of heart disease, fat is a vital part of your diet, sugar is the more likely target—1970s Harvard hacks took sugar cash to frame fat, and The New York Times as others, lapped it up without a peep.
- They lied about opioids—Purdue swore OxyContin wasn’t addictive in the 1990s, faked studies to get FDA nods, and sparked a death spiral of overdoses while docs over-prescribed it like candy—The liberal press framing this as a social/welfare issue not a moral one, ran puff pieces on pain relief till the bodies stacked too high the world noticed.
- They lied about undeveloped cultures being kind and hospitable, deliberately leaving out evidence small tribes and patriarchal societies around the world still practiced female genital mutilation, forced marriage, and other barbaric practices banned in the West hundreds of years ago. Or cherry-picked evidence that suggested islander cultures like Samoa had sexually liberal cultures to support the liberal framing of sexuality in the West, when in actual fact they had virginity checks before marrying, and adultery was a death sentence—Margaret Mead’s 1928 Samoa fluff got a free pass from the press for decades.
- They lied about trans, and the horror and permanence of those invasive paedophilic surgeries—kicked into high gear with 2010s gender clinic booms, regret rates buried, while BBC and NPR gushed over “brave transitions” and ignored the fallout.

They lied about communist death counts—the liberal press ignored the horror for damn near 100 years, from Lenin’s 1917 body piles to Mao’s 60 million dead by the 1970s. The New York Times Pulitzer-winner Walter Duranty whitewashed Stalin’s famines in the 1930s, and the West’s ink stayed soft on the gulags and Great Leap Forward while the graves multiplied.
They did this because they are more sympathetic to the idea that we should live in an equal commune, than that we have a specific purpose, one you have to fight for, imbued by a larger more whole being, usually denoted as God.
They lied about both the origin (it did leak from the Wuhan lab), efficiency, and efficacy of the COVID vaccines, lockdowns, and masks—started spinning in 2020, with CNN and The Atlantic scoffing at lab-leak “conspiracies” till the House panel made it undeniable.
They have continuously gas lit the public about multi-culturalism and mass-immigration - how have we been importing workers to fill gaps for 30 years, and we still have worker shortages in many industries? We import uber drivers bro. GDP keeps going up, but GDP per capita hasn’t moved in 30 years.

The way we live our lives changes everything—civilizations around the world are where they are because of the social technologies their people wield, not because humans are wired different. Free, unbiased reporting, unitary homogeneous cultures, and marriage, aren’t just a ritual; they are social tech that keeps us from screwing ourselves back to the Stone Age.



If we do fall - whatever replaces us will come from our ashes - and will be better than us, that's life.
Food for thought. Thanks for reading, have a positive day.
