So if America represents nihilist barbarism in the current war, Iran’s leadership class is precisely the opposite: Cultivated, articulate, reflective, spiritual, and carrying the heritage of not only Athens and Jerusalem, but also the treasures of Persian civilization and its elements that blend with East as well as West. Thanks to the Wilayat al-Faqih system founded by Imam Khomeini, Iran’s leadership class is the polar opposite of the Epstein class. They are the products of a lifetime of training in cultivating the higher self and restraining the lower one—rather than the other way around, as is so obviously the case with such vulgar, criminally-insane narcissist imbeciles as Trump and Hegseth, or such demonic monsters as Netanyahu.
So it’s the Great War for Civilization. Iran embodies civilization, while the Zionist-occupied USA is the epitome of nihilist vulgarity.
Today’s American hero generation, the millennials, are going to have to face the unfortunate fact that their entire civilizational project—Protestantism followed by Zombie Protestantism collapsing into nihilism—has run its five-century course. As Emmanuel Todd explains, the only alternative to nihilism is religion. Non-religious ethical/spiritual peoples are just zombies doomed to backslide into nihilism. So if the millennial heroes want to rebuild anything, they’re going to have to rediscover religion of one flavor or another.
