Cultural Marxism in America: TYTLER CYCLE (Segment 11)

In this segment of "America Under Fire — The Old Guy Speaks," we explore the Tytler Cycle, a historical model that outlines the cyclical nature of democracies and democratic republics. Based on the observations of Scottish historian Alexander Fraser Tytler, the cycle suggests that democracies inevitably progress through a series of stages—from Bondage to Spiritual Faith, then to Courage, then to Liberty, then to Abundance, then to Selfishness, then to Complacency, then to Apathy, then to Dependence, and eventually back into Bondage. Tytler's theory, often cited in discussions about the longevity of governments, posits that a democracy's downfall begins when the majority discovers it can vote itself benefits from the public treasury, leading to fiscal irresponsibility and eventual collapse.

The segment reflects on where America currently stands within this cycle, suggesting that the nation may be at the stage of Apathy, teetering on the edge of Dependence—a dangerous precursor to a return to Bondage. The discussion also highlights the modern twist Tytler could not have foreseen: the potential for global bondage through modern technology and international organizations like the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. This segment challenges viewers to consider how to break free from this cycle and preserve the American Republic.
