Because Western Civilization has turned its back on the foundations upon which it was built and embraced leftist woke secular humanism.

It all started and stops with this.

That’s the only thing that connects us here in the U.S. to the UK, Australia, etc… yet we are all experiencing the same cultural issues.


Besides language, culture, and blood of course.

Post WWI the European cultural elites decided western culture was rotten. Much of this coincided with communist sympathies. Post WWII, the Soviet Union was something no one could openly espouse. Many European leftists also fled Europe. They set up shop in the US, and together with New Deal Democrats, they eventually merged into the Progressive left. Post Vietnam, they have been on an unending destruction spree of tearing down most cultural norms and the notion of US and western ideals as a positive notion.

What a belated notion and an obvious answer.

There are those that know how to control perception. Those people hate the west and have a stronghold of power. They will continue to destroy us every day we decide principle and freedom are lesser to safety/security/convenience.

I blame selfishness, secularism, and hippies. This running away from God and into a hedonistic lifestyle has gnawed away at the principles of decency, dignity, and an honorable life worthy of pride.

The West needs to learn that life isn't all about reinforcing the ego, but about respect and that it isn't given, but earned.

Nobody has to milk the cows or feed the chickens at 6 am. We can sleep late , not learn anything and still get fed.

Comfort.

Lack of purpose.

Lack of any common identity and collective national sense of public duty / responsibility.

Oversocialization, white guilt and black victimization.

LBJ's great society and the breakdown of the family.

Social media driven polarization.

Moving from the enlightenment into postmodern clown world.


And we haven't even hit 'hard times' yet. We are still eating high off the hog. The west is still the best place on earth to live by a long shot, but we all see the early effects of social decay creeping in.

Read Douglas Murray.
At least some of the anti western sentiment is fueled by China.

Let's see...
Participation trophies lead the charge toward meritless success
School standards lowered and lowered
In-home video consoles sheltered kids
Skyrocketing divorce rates lead to split families, spoiled kids, neglected kids, damaged kids
Damaged kids head off to college to be taught by... 70s hippies
Impressionable kids believe anything and everything
Rinse, repeat, refill
