This post on /lit/ is a mix of coded language, esoteric signaling, and a vague philosophical or ideological provocation — typical of right-wing adjacent poster bait on 4chan. Here’s a breakdown:
---
What Is the Book?
Madison Grant – Conquest of a Continent (1933)
Grant was an American eugenicist and racial theorist, most infamous for The Passing of the Great Race.
Conquest of a Continent is a racialized history of America, arguing that the U.S. was built and shaped by specific "Nordic" (Northern European) peoples, and warning against immigration from other ethnic groups.
He promoted ideas of racial hierarchy, biological determinism, and preservation of "Nordic" stock.
His works influenced early 20th-century immigration policy and even were cited approvingly by the Nazis.
So this is not just a history book — it’s a racialist and pseudoscientific one, with heavy ideological baggage.

“Will the alleged fatigue bring about a revival?” — What does that mean?
This is a dog-whistle-style question, deliberately vague, but suggesting:
There is a cultural or racial fatigue (implied: the decline or exhaustion of "Western civilization" or "the white race").
“Revival” could refer to a return to Grant’s racial thinking, or a resurgence of ethno-nationalist ideology.
It taps into common /lit/, /pol/, and adjacent board themes: degeneracy, civilizational decline, collapse, and rebirth.
So the poster is not asking about literary revival, but about whether a supposed decline — moral, demographic, spiritual — will result in renewed interest in far-right, racialist ideologies.

Why Is It Vague?
On 4chan, especially /lit/, vagueness = engagement bait. It allows:
Supporters to nod in agreement (“finally someone said it”)
Critics to attack it
Everyone to project their own interpretation onto it
---
Takeaway:
This post is a subtle, ideologically loaded prompt framed as an intellectual musing. It’s not neutral — it’s referencing and soft-pitching a book of racial pseudohistory, using intentionally foggy language to provoke discussion without being explicitly inflammatory.
