Don’t think that because you’re in this period that you’re necessarily weak yourself; it’s more a call towards the aggregate.
What do we find in general in 2021’s USA?
Submisson. Lethargy. Divison. Defeatism. Bread and Circus aplenty - decadence, even for our lower classes. Entitlement. And an Elite class promoting all this while bleeding us all dry and setting us up to be their serfs.
All a good man can do sometimes is ride the wave that is societal destruction.
The symptoms are definitely there overall. There's plenty of weakness to go around. Yeah, just have to ride through it at this point. I'm not predisposed to panic at all, so I'll just keep doing what I've done my whole life, push forward and try to get smarter, tougher, and better along the way. I don't take the assertion that I'm weak personally if I came off like that. I don't care if someone thinks I'm weak anyway, it's just like intelligence. If they boast they are strong/smart, in reality they are weak/stupid.
I think I struggle more with that cycle as trying to apply it to history. Sure, there's places it fits, but it's often presented as the be-all-end-all that this is how life works and that's that. If anything the time relative to each period is stretches in and out like an accordion. Sometimes you have hundreds of years of weakness in serfdom, but others you have less than a decade.
