I think this is remarkably prescient, and precisely what I feel is happening. The pendulum will swing back to the right, and the usual suspects will seize the opportunity.
Most illustrative of this process is the way that Ukrainian ethno-nationalism was accepted as perfectly legitimate by regime media. They can easily co-opt rightist narratives to secure further dominance.
A thinker like Jorjani is key here - he predicts a neo-Nazi future (presumably under a different name).
There is a hunger for the spirit, and people will fill that hole with whatever is presented to them - most notably, the new ecumenical synthesis. The future is Bahá'í (it is strange how that particular religion has its headquarters in Israel). This stuff is everywhere now. Seraphim Rose was right: it's been bubbling under the surface, waiting to erupt, and now the future has arrived.
The dissident right will happily usher in this new era. Their main error is a denial of Christianity. The Nietzschean philosophy emerged from a philosophical mileu with its roots in Spinoza. This is all just Spinosism - every iteration, on the right or the left, and it has apostolic, catholic, orthodoxy Christianity in its sights. BAP is typical of this attitude (especially considering his heritage).
I have never understood the adulation for Peterson. He is remarkably pedestrian and gives the blandest and most obvious advice (or at least, it would be obvious in a more sensible culture). But most notable is his neoconservative, and also his free marketeerist ideological position. Every move seems calculated to make him as much money as possible. His background is psychoanalysis (rather than experimental psychology), and his philosophy is Mammonite - again, this is all just secularised Judaism. It is anti-Christian and anti-empiricist. This neolib/neocon synthesis has an obvious goal that doesn't even need to be stated.
The only way to avert this disaster is to explicitly and aggressively Christianise the emerging counter-revolution, and reject ecumenism at every opportunity. I still think there is hope.
The collapse of the petrodollar system is going to have a devastating effect on the ability of the USA to project hard power. At the same time American soft power is being reduced dramatically - not just because woke content is making it unpalatable, but going forward AI tools are going to reduce the barrier to entry for e.g. small filmmakers to produce high-quality movies. All of this points to a world in which the USA is still quite powerful, but very far from a hyperpower.
I can very easily see a conservative counter-revolution succeeding in the US, particularly if backed by renegade elites. And I could also see that turning into something dark - history is full of such reversals. However, I suspect that will mainly be an issue for CONUS and whatever satellites remain in its orbit. China, Russia, India, Arabia, etc. will be largely outside of the American sphere of influence by this point.
As to Israel ... One wonders what happens to it when its golem is falling apart....

Excellent stuff!
