I'm predicting something close to the movie, "Idiocracy" in 30 years.

Think about what life would be like with no birth control

Women would have to be more selective
Sex may actually lead to reproduction
More pair bonding
Men would work harder - since its not easy to obtain

Nowadays you can have sex with no repercussions; it could all stem from that. Srs

I really do believe it's true that it's getting worse, one observation about mainstream music in latin america is that raeggetton has become the norm, the lyrics on these songs are basically "let's f**k mami" and how you dance it is by dry humping, people love it.

Left wing politics. It is a direct planned assault on the culture. Read Marx, read Hegel, read Saul Alinsky. This has been done in many countries in exactly the same way....China's "cultural revolution", USSR, Cuba.

Destroy the culture and replace it with socialist/communist/marxist institutions.

Philosophymaxxing.

Nietzsche was right...

women were let out of the kitchen

ded fkn srs 100%

The thing about this movie is that it assumes that we wouldn't just have a war and topple the corrupt governments and mega corporations, leading us back to survival of the fittest and competition for resources.

Can you imagine a major city going 1 week without power or a sudden fuel shortage? civilisation would be torn apart in days from all the looting/lawlessness/crime

for sure

1)freedom of speech
2)weed
3)alcohol- getting drunk and sh!t faced
4)18 year old idiots thinking they are right and no one cant smack their asses
5)liberalism

things have definitely gone to **** the past 5 years in particular.
i think in the US, UK and Aus never before have you had such blatantly inept &/or corrupt people in power. And it's not even like... sure we had the Bush & Howard & Blair years and we can complain about the wars they started and the consequences of that... but that's merely bad policy. These days we just have lunatics hell bent on destruction. Just out to rape and boil the earth + involved in or covering up child sex degeneracy on the side.

That's just in politics but then you have social influences as well. People actually looking to tv celebs or the wives of sports people as "health experts" rather than qualifed medical advice. Anti vaccination cranks. Flat earthers. On one side sociopaths making bank from radicalising young men into this whole "incel" nonsense and on the other side lunatics teaching young women that all men are sexual degenerates and predators. ITT i see people saying "liberals" but is on all sides and all directions with demagogues out to divide us all against one another.

I dunno man i legit think the end of civilisation as we know it is within sight.
fortunately I have largely reclused myself from all of it by just retiring to my little property on the coast and putting some weights in the garage.

2 and 3 been around for centuries , doubt that's any influence

Been thinking a lot about the topic of this thread but this idea never occurred to me, makes a lot of sense.

Yes, and have a multitude of uses other than just getting high. Alcohol can be used as fuel, disinfectant, preservative, cleaner. Hemp can be used for clothing, rope, medicine, food, oil ect.

1. People are more narcissistic
2. Social media has given a voice to people that no one gives a chit about IRL
3. People are just trying to out-SJW each other to feel more cultured.

^ this

The more degenerate culture is becoming in the West the more it makes sense to become religious.

Humans are statistically having less sex than ever (srs)

and for centuries things been going downhill.

1) alcohol , people getting drunk, specially young thundercats ,doing stupid sh!t, like literally sh!tting themselves,gang bangs,hurting themselves doing stupid sh!t,hurting others cause they are so drunk they dont even know what theyre doing. not to mention the adverse effect on the physiology of the human body itself

2) weed, fukcs up your focus , makes puffers act like idiots, anxiety,fear etc etc .. try driving your kids from or to school if you are high, prep their meals,help them with their studies when youre high.

The new age culture all along the fukced up social construct building up around us has fukced up our rational to an extent that these days people believe that wrong is right and vice versa

I think you would find that if free speech wasn't so censored, deleted, edited and flat out deplatforming people you would see that the world is not going to dog**** at all, just peoples perception. Try speaking out against anything SJW in public, you will be cast out through fear of offending people and someone using it to get you fired.

This is how we get drag queen kids being allowed, nobody wants to speak out against this **** because they get doxxed by the media and lose their livelihoods. Look at communist china, speak out against the government, even in private with your friends, someone can rat you out and suddenly you cant get train tickets or leave the country.

stay off social media and the internet. go be social in public. it's not all THAT bad. it's just that everything can be seen on the internet and people are reactive by nature and just become negative, defensive, self entitled, spoiled, pricks.

This is like my 6th mod neg lol

Yup. Even if you aren’t Christian be salt and light.

Gotta turn this boat the f around.

Woman are selective now more than ever, aren't they?

Degenerating how?

It is though. A lot more people are negative irl and narcissistic. I work around thousands of people and socializing isn't the same as it used to be.

I think you're onto something.

Agreed, I legitimately feel bad for teenage kids these days. Every time I see them they are glued to their phones. Incessantly comparing themselves to everyone in conjunction with a constant fear of missing out. No one under the age of 20 does anything for fun, its all for likes.

We were never meant to be apart of large tribes. When you connect to everyone you've ever known on social media you consequently become a member of tribe with thousands of individuals. This not only makes the individual feel like they have zero value, but it cascades into rampant narcissism as a result. The narcissistic behavior then feeds back into everyone else feeling inadequate about their lives and the cycle continues.

The more "connected" we become as a society, the more isolated we truly become. Back when I was in elementary school, I knew a total of like 30 kids. When school was over, you played with 2 or 3 of your neighbors and everything was gravy. Now you have elementary school kids posting on snapchat, competing for likes and attention, and they never unplug from everything. The value of an individual interaction has (falsely) plummeted to zero because you can now interact with someone 24 hours a day. Meanwhile, genuine interaction with another human, eye contact included, is monumentally better for your health, but few people seem interested.

Are you implying that Hegel advocates for left wing policy ? cause it does not :

"When the masses begin to decline into poverty, (a) the burden of maintaining them at their ordinary standard of living might be directly laid on the wealthier classes, or they might receive the means of
livelihood directly from other public sources of wealth (e.g. from the endowments of rich hospitals, monasteries, and other foundations).
In either case, however, the needy would receive subsistence directly, not by means of their work, and this would violate the principle of civil society and the feeling of individual independence and selfrespect in its individual members." § 245 GPR

And by the way extreme right wing policy (extrem liberalism) is also to blame cause this doctrine/theory put the civil society ahead of the State and tend to erect the individual as an absolute while he is not. The civil society, even if it is an important moment of the dialectic, remains an abstract moment and is not the truth and not an absolute, therefore should be subjected to the State.

Finaly regarding the same author, a big cause of the dissolution of morality is a state of perpetual peace that leads to the absolutisation of the Individual and the civil society. That is way Hegel is a defendant of the war as a "necessary evil" in order to put the civil society (bürgerliche gesellschaft) at its right place and keep the moral and the culture in check :

"An entirely distorted account of the demand for this sacrifice results from regarding the state as a mere civil society and from regarding its final end as only the security of individual life and property. This security cannot possibly be obtained by the sacrifice of what is to be secured - on the contrary.

The ethical moment in war is implied in what has been said in this paragraph. War is not to be regarded as an absolute evil and as a purely external accident, which itself therefore has some accidental cause, be it injustices, the passions of nations or the holders of power, &c., or in short, something or other which ought not to be. It is to what is by nature accidental that accidents happen, and the fate whereby they happen is thus a necessity.

Here as elsewhere, the point of view from which things seem pure accidents vanishes if we look at them in the light of the concept and philosophy, because philosophy knows accident for a show and sees in it its essence, necessity. It is necessary that the finite - property and life - should be definitely established as accidental, because accidentality is the concept of the finite". § 324 GPR

And finaly Hegel does not advocate and had never advocate what should be and have always describe what things are cause that is the task of the philosophy :

"To apprehend what is is the task of philosophy, because what is is reason. As for the individual, every one is a son of his time; so philosophy also is its time apprehended in thoughts. It is just as
foolish to fancy that any philosophy can transcend its present world, as that an individual could leap out of his time or jump over Rhodes.
If a theory transgresses its time, and builds up a world as it ought to be, it has an existence merely in the unstable element of opinion, which gives room to every wandering fancy." Preface of the GPR

Therefore Hegel cannot be accused in any way of planning a direct assault praticaly or theoreticaly against anything cause that was simply not part of his agenda and of the task he had rightfully assigned to philosophy.

Loss of religion, acceptance of fuk'd up chit, broken families, access to fuk'd chit on the internet. Most have lost their moral compass. Most of you bro's probably don't buy into it, but if you read the bible, the description of the end days matches what we are experiencing right now.
