I am unhappy with the current state government: Federal, State, Local.
I am unhappy with the current state of schools.
I am unhappy with the current state of media: Social and Old School.

There is a lot wrong with our society. But the foundational problem is Parenting. People do not parent.They don’t know how. They aren’t interested.

And the current Woke generation of young people will soon be raising the next generation of children, and they will be much worse. I don’t want to see what 2040 looks like.

No idea how to change the course of that river.

” the foundational problem is Parenting.”

The foundation underneath that foundation is the Great Society and its destruction of the nuclear family in poor households. Mommas were only paid if there was no dad at home and they were paid a lot more for every love child they popped out.

No one person can. In fact, even a large minority can’t. It takes a dominant culture that is confident enough to pass on noble values to the next generation. Right now Western Culture is characterized by a profound LACK of moral confidence to assert anything other than the proposition that “nothing absolute can be asserted”.

Just sit back and watch the collapse of civilization like the rest of us. ;-D
We’ve done our part. Now the young people are fashioning the world to fit their own tastes. They won’t like what they’ve made of it, but; they don’t know that yet. We are about to enter the “anarchy” stage of the Cycle of Civilization. In another few thousand years things will be OK again.

America can't be fixed. At a certain point, a declining civilization has passed the point of possible solutions, and all that remains is the collapse. And from the ashes, perhaps a new civilization shall arise.

Good times create soft men.

Soft men create hard times.

Hard times create strong men.

Strong men create good times.

Good times create soft men ... etc.
