Current Events > It's really sad how people fail to see how western culture is collapsing.

(+) Yeah! (+)

We are obese. We are covered in tattoos and piercings. We have dreadlocks and beards and long hair. We wear sunglasses. We dress garishly and immodestly like trash. Our women expose their cleavage like whores in heat. Casual sex is rampant. We behave like pigs. We drink and eat while walking. We talk like thugs. Every word is profanity. We disrespect our elderly. We tear down the monuments of our ancestors and spit on their graves. Our society is crumbling. We have forsaken God and thrown aside the teachings of Jesus. We have no loyalty to our people or nation. Our institutions are corrupt. We have no virtue, only shame.

I am disgusted to the point of nauseous vomit.

Reactionary fucking morons like you are largely to blame for the slow decline of America, btw.

Casual sex is degenerate.

on the contrary
it generates a ton of new people who will adhere to similar political/cultural beliefs

that's not diminishing western culture
it spreads and reinforces it

If atheism, casual sex, and cursing the fuck out of people isn't western culture, then I for one am happy to contribute to its decline.

Does that mean we should tear down Lincoln's memorial? Because he was racist as could be. He openly stated in his pre-war speeches that while he didn't support slavery he thought blacks shouldn't be allowed to vote or serve on juries and that interracial marriages should be banned.

Stonewall Jackson worked to teach slaves and free blacks to read and write before the war, which was a crime in Virginia. Robert E. Lee's family supported efforts to buy slaves, free them, and send them to Liberia, which was established as a haven for freed slaves and after the war supported efforts to establish public schools for black children, and expelled any students from the university who were caught attacking black people. But because Jackson and Lee fought for the south they must be evil apparently.
---

Lincoln actually wanted to deport the blacks back to Africa.

People try to oversimplify the war. They want the north to be pure good and the south to be pure evil and reality almost never works out that way.

Jackson and Lee were traitors.

We are obese.

Industries producing unhealthy lobby for subsidies for themselves and barriers to healthier food producers.

We are covered in tattoos and piercings.

Really not a big fan of tattoos, but it does seem to be changing attitudes regarding them. With any luck, the trend will pass and later generations will frown on them like our predecessors.

We have dreadlocks and beards and long hair.

Again, changing attitudes, though beards and longer hair come and go. Just trends for the most part that presumably will not last.

We wear sunglasses.

Sunglasses are the eternal fashion statement.

We dress garishly and immodestly like trash.

I do hope this trend will pass, but so long as the social zeitgeist which rebels against all that is decent continues, it will persist and get worse. I do believe there will eventually be pushback.

Our women expose their cleavage like

This has become rampant because anyone who dares speak out is labeled a sexist. The mentality is that the male brain can somehow be melded to not be aroused by the exposed female form, which simply is not the case. With respect to such an irrational mentality, I do believe there will also be pushback.

Casual sex is rampant.

This reflects a society that has become increasingly averse to deferral of gratification. Why? Because there is an assumption of, and an entitlement to absolution from personal responsibility on the bill of others - whether it's taxpayers for the medical ramifications or support of the products of unexpected pregnancies in the absence of gainful employment.

Continued....
---

We behave like pigs.

As society becomes averse to personal responsibility, so to has society become averse to pragmatic cooperation and thus the human decency such interaction requires.

We drink and eat while walking.

I honest to god have never seen this. It seems uncomfortable and messy.

We talk like thugs.

To be fair, vernacular evolves.

Every word is profanity.

Changing attitudes. I'm not too optimistic about this trend reversing, though it is symptomatic of our ability to express ourselves more eloquently. Perhaps declining quality of education and again our aversion to deferral of gratification - a must with respect to refinement of one's literacy - is the culprit, in which case fixing education might be a solution.

We disrespect our elderly.

I cannot comment on this, as I'm not sure this is systemic.

We tear down the monuments of our ancestors and spit on their graves.

The issue with modern radical progressives is that they get off on symbolic victories over intrinsically measurable and sustainable achievements, without much regard for the nuanced perspectives that value the objects of their iconoclasm. With that said, if the monuments were on private property, this would be far less of a problem - if it's in the commons, anything can happen.

Our society is crumbling.

Lack of accountability to self, to community, and lack of trust in one's neighbor. The first, from absolution of consequence; the second, from barriers to such; the third, from the first on the part of others and the decline of universality of fundamental values in society.

We have forsaken God and thrown aside the teachings of Jesus.

The championing of rationalism has led to the decline of Christianity. Unfortunately, it threw the baby of moral objectivity out with the bathwater. Regardless of how you felt about the morality, the loss of certain fundamental virtues are worth lamenting.

We have no loyalty to our people or nation.

Since the 1960s/1970s, education has been less focused on promoting civics and more focused on instilling a more cynical perspective on the national heritage, applying a magnifying glass to the worst of it and whitewashing a number of more important virtues and developments. Meaningfully reforming education could legitimately fix things in a generation or so.

Our institutions are corrupt.

A sick society leads to sick institutions. Though public institutions in general eventually end up corrupt as they attract psychopaths and narcissists, and therefore the minimization of them and the absolute power they collectively weld within certain constraints is imperative.

We have no virtue, only shame.

Addressed already.

I am disgusted to the point of nauseous vomit.

This is unfortunately why many have come to drop out of society. But it is still a worthwhile fight, but understanding the roots of the issues is the first step. The second is to raise awareness and take practical action however one is best suited - starting with cleaning up the vomit.

Again, how is Jackson a traitor? He fought for the country and preserved the Union, the Civil War was threatening to happen while he was President and he quelled it on many fronts.

You can have your opinions of him however you want, but I just want to hear what makes him a "traitor"

Don't worry about it too much. Asia, the middle East and Europe are buying land in Africa right now since it's going to be the most resource rich continent in the world.

So we can all just start moving there. Immigration to Africa is going to be a thing in the near future.

Yeah, well, ya know, that's just like, your opinion, man.

Wrong Jackson. Andrew Jackson is the president. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson is one of the most famous confederate generals from the civil war.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't most of the statues and monuments to confederate leaders in states that were confederate territory? So the comparison to celebrating the founders of the US in Great Britain doesn't fit. It would be more like people from British territory who fought against England or Britain and lost being celebrated in their home regions and that does happen. William Wallace is probably the best known example of that.

America's in a bit of a cultural crisis right now, but nothing in the OP has anything to do with that.

TC knows that, of course.

Ok. Because they are trying to remove Andrew Jackson from NOLA and it's just wrong. Thought that was what was being referred to

Didn't really read every post, but as a non-American, I noticed two real huge problems which can be condensed to one word: greed.

1) Private prisons, which caused cops to actively seek out crimes instead of responding to crimes to fill prisons. If there are not enough criminals, more laws will be passed to create more criminals so cops can continue to fill the prisons or the state/city will get sued because there are not enough prisoners (wtf).

2) Healthcare & insurance working in tandem to jack up prices to an astronomical figure every time someone needs medical attention.
