Fortress America is built by keeping foreigners out (and sending those here away) and rebuilding American manufacturing. They're still going to have to find some way to end D.E.I. locally though, or it will have all been for naught. We've already had chip plants cancelled domestically because the East Asian firms were not going to put up with the mandatory hiring practices they were trying to impose. With emergent major industries, there's an opportunity just now for America to recreate the condition it was in during its heyday of the 20th century, mutatis mutandis. But without addressing immigration, establishing autarky and getting rid of the communist takeover of all employment sectors, and if these things are not made good in a few years, there's no avoiding the inexorable slide to a Potemkin-economy Third World America in a decade or two.
I see the point of Spengler's arguments about our future arc.
But I also see we have 2-3 centuries to go. We are Late Roman Republic, and haven't even met Caesar yet. (Glaciers or EMP could speed this up a bit fo' shizzle, or the Earth's core forking the Hollow Earth).
Jes' Sayin'.
The Faustian dream is built on the concept of arbeit and its ethics. It's who we are.
As Uhtred of Bebbanburg said, 'All men desire land and silver'... e-silver, we shall see. I doubt the ideas of Blood and Soil will grow old though.,
'Ethical Socialism' as Spengler dared to call it.
