15 Signs That Social Insanity Is Eating Away at America Like a Cancer Is Visible All Around Us
Our Old Guy ^ | Epic Economist

The fabric of our society is coming apart at the seams, and you can see it with your own eyes. If you live in a major city, all you have to do is walk around, and you’ll find many signs that our core urban centers are decaying, and just about every sort of evil that you can possibly imagine is exploding all around us.

Our so-called leaders continue to make stupid decisions, and now we are all going to reap the consequences. Predators are roaming our streets. American families are collapsing. Traditional moral values have been completely discarded. Young people are running wild in the streets, lawlessness is growing, and our system of government is melting down in plain sight.

Analysts with ZeroHedge pointed out that there’s a sudden panic leading Americans to search for a way out of our society. Research has shown that the number of people in the U.S. searching for the term “live off-grid” on the Internet has hit the highest level in five years.

The driving force behind finding a rural piece of land for dirt cheap, buying or building a tiny home, installing solar panels, and sourcing your own food and water might have to do with the worst inflation storm in a generation, the experts noted. The worst housing affordability crisis in history and the deterioration of people’s confidence in our institutions are driving many to try to become independent from our system because they can already feel that it is only a matter of time before everything starts crumbling down.

As economic conditions get worse, people are becoming more desperate. This is fueling a shoplifting wave all over the country, and some grocery stores are being forced to implement extreme measures right now. A new report by the Washington Post reveals that Giant Food stores are taking all Tide, Colgate, and Advil products off the shelves completely because theft has become an enormous problem.

The grocer is also clearing its beauty and health aisles of all national labels. Shoppers also will have to present their receipts to an employee before exiting the store. Executives said the decision was made to prevent the stores from shutting down.

Moreover, when people can’t trust our major institutions, it’s just a matter of time before they start breaking down. And a new Gallup poll shows that Americans do not believe in those that are currently running our country. The study found that only 8% of Americans trust Congress, while just 14% trust Big Business, and the rate same said they believe in Television news.

Worryingly, the poll uncovered that only 17% of Americans trust the justice system. About 26% trust in the federal government, and only 32% believe in the church. In other words, the majority of the population can tell that the foundations of our society are solid enough at this point in time.

If we stay on this path, our future will be doomed. As a society, we need to turn around and reverse course immediately. We are literally destroying ourselves, but things have been wrong for so long, that many people don’t even notice it anymore. Deep changes must happen soon. Otherwise, we are going to see things happen in the years ahead that will completely shock all of us.

Today, we compiled several facts and stats that help to illustrate the social insanity that is going on all over America. Some of the things we’re about to share with you can be disturbing, but we must look at our issues to understand what is happening to our country. Here are 15 Signs That Social Insanity Is Eating America Like A Cancer.

Here’s the List 1 A mass exodus from liberal cities has begun

2 Our major cities are degenerating into rotting, decaying hellholes

3 San Francisco has become known worldwide for a very shameful problem

4 Famous public parks are being described as “lawless”

5 Even state governors are bluntly admitting that U.S. urban areas have a “major crime problem”

6 Our schools are being absolutely flood with fentanyl

7 More people are trying to live off-grid

8 Young Americans are becoming delinquents

9 Pestilences are raging in many areas of the nation

10 Supermarkets are taking essential products off the shelves because of rampant shoplifting rates

We drove from Leavenworth, WA to Whistler, BC today via the North Cascades Highway and through lots of small towns in the Cascades. Everything seems normal in small towns and backwoods in the northwest. I was talking to a sales manager at a lumber company in Winthrop, WA. He says lots of people from New England are moving there driving up prices. Many don’t last but a winter or two — Cascades winters are too tough even for New Englanders.

I talked with another guy in Bellingham, WA about the “good guys” leaving CA and moving to Idaho (including his uncle).

Everybody hopes it’s not northeast or CA liberals fleeing their soiled nests and bringing their ways with them.

Here in L.A. there are mentally ill homeless people, mostly young, roaming the streets ready to harass or even attack. It’s becoming dangerous to even take a walk around what used to be nice neighborhoods.
It’s unreal how fast things have gone bad.

Today I saw a homeless guy take a dump in broad daylight on a main street of Tacoma.

A few moments later, I saw a fentanyl addict light up his tinfoil on the stoop of a gun shop.

Post WW2, every institution in America had tremendous credibility: politicians, bureaucracy, business, labor, churches, military, police, courts.

That all failed starting in the 1960 and 1970s. Competence failures combined with exposed wrongdoing and corruption shattered the credibility of these institutions.

Initially, it was a zero sum game, with journalists and “public interest advocates” gaining as they exposed business and gov’t wrongdoing.

But eventually, people figured out that journalism and advocacy organizations were as much or even more corrupt than the business, politicians, police, military and churches they exposed.

The Current Regime captured these institutions just as their credibility was failing. Maybe you could say they captured them because their credibility was failing.

There is no way back for these institutions except by them restoring their competence and integrity. However, they have been captured by Woke Progressives who are making the competence and integrity situation worse and worse and worse by the day.

In my view there is no way around this, except through.

This Regime needs to collapse. These discredited institutions need to Fall and be replaced.

The true reason for the chaos is spiritual warfare. It is no longer left vs. right, it is good vs. evil.

Old guy should check his wording. Some of it sounds like a poor translation from a foreign language. A big turn off.

Economic conditions are fueling a shoplifting wave? Really? Is that really the cause of these brazen crimes?

I know two retired FBI agents.

Neither one of them tells new acquaintances what they did for a living.

One of them tells people he’s a retired U.S. marshal. The other one says he’s a retired USDA meat inspector.

That pretty much tells you all you need to know about how much our governing institutions have collapsed.

I visit these threads a lot, not because I want to read about misery, but to get some firsthand observations. Yours was fascinating.

[14 Our population doesn’t have faith in God anymore]

This is the main problem.

READ YOUR BIBLE, American citizens.

If you don’t have one, buy one.

There are even places that will send them to you for no charge. Besides online viewing of Scripture.

“A new report by the Washington Post reveals that Giant Food stores are taking all Tide, Colgate, and Advil products off the shelves completely because theft has become an enormous problem.”

At a local SF Bay Area Safeway, the laundry products aisle now has all Tide products (no other brand) behind glass in a locked case.
