Our culture is going down the toilet? Why do you say that?
You’re here talking about the spike in mass shootings in this country and you ask why I say our culture is going down the toilet? Really?
To begin with, access to firearms has never fundamentally changed; they’ve always been accessible to those with no criminal record. Ergo, access to firearms alone cannot account for the spiked increase in mass shootings and violent crimes. In other words, access has not changed but the number of gun crimes has.
Given this, how do you account for the increase in gun crime if not for a cultural malaise that affects society as a whole?
Secondly, referring to my comments in my first post about signs that our culture is going down the toilet; we see this in many ways:
1.) Young people today have almost no work ethic and have a sense of entitlement from employers, teachers, parents and society at large.
2.) More and more young people suffer from depression and anxiety today because they are ill-equipped to deal with disappoinment, failure and reality in general.
3.) People no longer have a sense of national pride nor a pride in much of anything at all. This has resulted in drastic drops in military and law enforcement recruitment, among other things.
4.) We are losing what little empathy and self control we had and we’re seeing more public brawls and people physically and violently attacking people for stupid shit like the dipping sauce being too expensive for christ’s sake.
And finally,
5.) What used to be considered a serious allegation that demanded character review and supporting evidence is now tossed at anyone and everyone for no fucking reason and the supposed guilty party is summarily condemned and cancelled, evidence be damned.
I am, of course, referring to accusations of racism. Wokefucks today have no qualms about ruining lives and careers based on little to no evidence.
The new principle has become: Guilty until proven innocent. This was not always the case and quite frankly, it disturbs me.
