“Geburah, as always, produces disruption; but as Venus here rules Aquarius, weakness rather than excess of strength seems the cause of disaster. The intellect has been enfeebled by sentiment. The defeat is due to pacifism. Treachery also may be implied.

The hilts of the swords form the inverted pentagram, always a symbol of somewhat sinister tendency. Here matters are even worse; none of the hilts resembles any of the others, and their blades are crooked or broken. They give the impression of drooping; only the lowest of the swords points upwards, and this is the least effective of the weapons. The rose of the previous card has been altogether disintegrated.

The historian is happy to observe two perfect illustrations of the mode of this card and the last in the birth of the Aeon of (I) Osiris, (2) Horus. He will note the decay of such Virtue as char acterized Sparta and Rome, ending in the establishment of the Pax Romana. As Virtue declined, corruption disintegrated the Empire from within. Epicene cults, such as those of Dionysus (in its degraded form), of Attis, of Adonis, of Cybele, the false Demeter and the prostituted Isis, replaced the sterner rites of the true Solar- Phallic gods; until finally (the masters having lost the respect, and so the control, of the plebs, native and alien) the lowest of all the slave-cults, dressed up in the fables of the vilest of the parasitic races, swept over the known world, and drenched it in foul darkness for five hundred years. He will delight to draw close parallels with the cognate phenomena displayed before the present generation.”

but still the aesthetics of the ancient cosmopolitism are much better, on the other hand nowdays cosmopolitism is pathetic mind control for the big corporations or plutocratic elites that dress up as philanthrops that have to save us from ourselves

Not only that, it was true multiculturalism. What we have now is not. Nowadays it feels like everyone, no matter the skin color, is of the same pathetic globohomo-created ethnicity. Can we look at most rappers and black writers and etc. of nowadays and say they represent black culture? And the same applies to white artists, of course.

Ethnicity is slowly dying. The age of the mutt is upon us.

I was a cosmopolitan as a kid. "We are all people, human beings, why can't we be a big one country? Shy does a man fight a man? We all are the same, just born in different countries!"
God, I was a one retarded kid.

The values are all different.
In the civilizations of antiquity, beauty was that at a premium.
Their slave economies were not geared to produce wealth but rather to complete the tasks necessary for civilization while be free citizens, free from the yoke of labor, could hone their skill in the arts. In this context cosmopolitanism meant the exchange of culture between civilizations.
In the modern world our economies are capitalistic, which are geared to produce an abundance of wealth and goods.
Beauty is therefore secondary, as it sheer quantity could make up for a deficit in beauty.
Cosmopolitanism in this context means the free exchange of culture as commodified into goods.
A Greek would never say that they need more aliens because they bring their food with them but a modern absolutely does, because to them the alien represents more and exotic goods to pile on the heap, instead of cultural exchange to embellish his civilization.

They don't actually "believe" the thing about the food kek, the reality is that more bodies are needed by any means necessary, so any and all possible angles will be used to get the population to go along with it, be it appeals to moral duty, guilt, denial of the existence of the people altogether, or even something as banal as "food".

When Rome became "cosmopolitan" the Latin aristocratic types retreated from their city to their villas, only returning to attend the sessions of the Senate. Holding their noses as they passed the latest slave trader arriving from some unknown land.

Crowley is saying that effeminacy (Venus) replaced masculinity (Aquarius, virtue [the root of "virtue" is "man" - virtue means "manliness"]) in Sparta and Rome, giving rise to cosmopolitanism (Pax Romana), which in turn gave rise to hedonistic cults. I'm not a fan of Crowley, but he's right in this instance (ironically, he himself was a product of a similar civilizational decay - he just didn't recognize it.)

This picture is unironically correct though. Civilizations, societies, subcultures, and general cultures are not not one giant inter connected linear phenomenon. The aristocracy of a few western European states from the 16th to 18th centuries did "decline" in that way and it has massive consequences in the late 18th to 20th centuries. Just like how a change in attitude for an American generation will have consequences for that particular American society. It will decline, collapse, and something new will take its place place go through it's own rise, fall, collapse
The people who post this pic or that Plato quote as a "gotchu" against complaining about something new are retards
