2026-03-17DARK AGE COMING?

Posted on 2026-03-17 by Librarian

I’m posting this link to this story at the bottom not because I’m Conservative. Heck, I’m so Conservative that I think Trump is a Liberal. Think of me as somewhat to the right of Atilla the Hun.

The point made in the article that a new Dark Age is coming is true regardless of your political persuasion. It’s hard to argue that a new Dark Age ISN’T coming with the surge of tyrannical governments through much of the Western World and the rise of various forms of Barbarism being imported into most Western countries to make up for declining birth rates. Yesterday I watched a British man arrested by an Armed Response of 6 Officers because of a Facebook post criticizing uncontrolled immigration. Ultimately the uneducated and clearly barbarian populations will within a generation or two at the most seize control as the majority. South Africa was once a 1st World Nuclear Power with a 1st rate economy, military, standard of living and top of the line industrial infrastructure.

Today it is a 3rd world country on par with Haiti and Zimbabwe. It’s not a Racial thing. It’s a Culture and Civilizational thing and wont be reversed as long as Tribalism is the governing culture in Africa.

Which brings me to the gist of it. In the first Dark Age the world climbed out of it by discovering new ways of thinking leading to new ways to use resources and eventually break into the Industrial Age from which grew our modern world.

That depended on easy access to coal, metals, power and eventually to oil which powers and moves the modern world.

Even today finding and extracting oil requires advanced technology which in turn relies on a a broad and deep technological infrastructure. When a new Dark Age tries to climb out the darkness and back into the light those resources won’t BE easily accessible.

About the only one that will is coal and that is not energy dense enough to take the world much beyond the late 1800s. Many metals require mining techniqes and technology that won’t be available. Oil is pretty much out of the question.

So when the next Dark Age come… the Human Race is unlikely to climb fully back out of it. 500 years from now about the best that can be expected is something like the mid to late 1800s and even that is optimistic.
