Social decay etc

While i agree with alot of the things you say, you seem to be falling to the classic ideology trap that todays liberal fell. And thats a general mentality all the "far right" members share and actually hurt themselves and their cause in the end. Thats is in the fewest of words "absolutism".

Social decay is evident to an extent i agree, but to exaggerate it and over dramatize the situation serves no purpose, other than alienate the huge population that feel betrayed by the left. Including me and the millions of Trump voters. Far right needs to get schooled by Trump, his campaign, his policies, everything. He managed to push for classic conservative policies, have far right members in his cabinet and preach to the American people about the values of the old days, while at the same time did not alienate the sane, hard working, law-abiding minorities like blacks, hispanic, women, gays and ex leftists and actually all the people who enjoy freedom, modernity and Western civilization values.

So on topic, the good ol days is a classic cliche in the popular culture, a nostalgic romanticisation, used to exaggerate a real situation, but not to be taken as factually correct. Its symbolic, just like the bible and only true to a certain extend.

You seem to have your causations mixed up. The problem is not social decay, loss of values and morals, those are just the results, some of them. The problem is "cutthroat capitalism" and the greed that is naturally occuring. Things werent better when life expectancy was 45 years old old, where people died of simple diseases, when the dad beat the shit out of his son and raped his wife, when the masses didnt have the slightest clue about science and how the world really works and most of the information was passed on from one ignorant family member to another.

Morals were not better, when those were taken by the interpretation of a book written with the knowledge of people that lived 2000 years ago. Human life had less value, freedom of speech and expression werent really a thing and education was really low.

Also as others have pointed out you cant really make an accurate comparison, first of all due to the population increase, that plays a huge factor. Second due to the large immigration numbers, third due to privacy and social taboos- back then there was the sense of privacy and fake public decency, people acted decent and moral on public and went to church every Sunday but behind closed doors the father could rape his daughter, beat up his wife and force his son to work the field from 12 years old instead of focusing on his education. Lastly theres technology and govenrmental organization, in todays society our lives and choices are such scrutinized that les and less become private. Information is exchanged fast, free and easy through internet, cameras and mobile phones, nothing is hidden anymore. We dont have more violence, we have more people, more immigrants, more inequality and more cameras and agencies to document it. We dont have more gays, we just have a society where a percentage (still low) is free to be vocal and out about their sexual/romantic orientation and a society that accepts them (to a certain degree).

The world is not less moral, its just not as hypocritical.

The new wave feminists, the black lives gangsters, the muslim moderate terrorists, the annoying loud mouthed fairies and the social justice warriors are indeed a cancer. They are mutated cells that multiply and hurt the host, but i would argue that



1. They are not the cause our societies are degraded and in decline, greed and uncontrolled capitalism is the real cause.3

2. Its the bad that comes with the good. If our biggest problems are shitty music and social justice warriors, then yes, ill take them.

America is rape
Russia is consensual sex

Decent beginning points followed by general rubbish sorry to say. Tik-Tok is actually spot on but his specific point has gone way over your heads. Allow me to elbaborate

Namely, that our societies are decadent wastelands suffering from vast moral decay. The problems go far beyond SJWs and shitty music. We live in a world where a man's word means nothing. Where concepts like respecting for your elders, personal responsibility, a sense of duty and virtue, self-control, and general civility are endangered. We live in an anything goes culture dominated by hedonistic brutes who essentially live seeking pleasure and avoiding pain without any sense of meaning or principle. People come out of our schools knowing less than when they went in. Ignorance is prized above knowledge. You should know we are less not more educated that our predecessors. And we have so-called adults that literally never grow up, who are essentially children with jobs (if you're lucky) and cars.

In fact, in our countries vulgarity and blind rebelliousness has become so mainstream that being a polite caring person with integrity is essentially now a countercultural act. Every other asshole on the street believes he is a non-conformist with his cool tattoo and I don't give a fuck attitude, not realizing that he's basically indistinguishable from the next cyka blyat. These days the most boring unoriginal artists seek to shock, and offend, and to "disrupt the status quo!!!" not realizing that saying fuck the authority fuck my traditions and fuck your sensibilities has become the most traditional uninspired attitude ever. Like seriously it was cool when Elvis did it in the 60s but give me a break.

These problems do not come from greed or wealth inequality or poverty. People lived with more honor and dignity during the Great Depression when they didn't have any bread to eat. And they don't come from knowing too little science or from believing in a 2000 year old book (the age of the book is completely irrelevant to whether it has truths or not btw). It is a moral failure through and through. Some people don't want to hear that because the modern heresy = sounding judgmental and moral codes imply judgement but it's the truth so oh well

You are a hypocrite. You are the worst type of hypocrite. You are so open about these inconsistent policies but you will still deny them while making them, and cry victim when others point it out.

I find that all to be quite, quite vile.
