The illusion of moral decline


The decline is real, just look at the sex acts being performed in porn.

And correct


cutting penises off kids or even grown ups is not subjective. it is objectively evil

killing fetuses is not subjective bad. it is evil.

every single person with an iq over 70 knows murdering babies is wrong and will be judged accordingly. nothing subjective about it.

A nice example of how silly this study is.

Well, let's assume this study is accurate.

Do you think it could possibly be that the number of people who think that it's moral to yell at someone who disagrees with you or thinks it's moral to mutilate a child who thinks they're the opposite sex has skyrocketed?

At the very least, this study shows people (like yourself) are stupid and don’t know what the frick they’re talking about.

The study participants said moral decay is occurring while simultaneously said they’re being treated better by society.

You’re saying society is morally decaying while simultaneously saying morals aren’t real.

You could have been one of the idiots in the study.

But over the same period, there’s been no decline in positive answers to questions like “Were you treated with respect all day yesterday?”
Because our definition and expectations of respect have declined along with the surrounding gradual decay.

great example. Progs consider it moral to transition a child regardless of age.

Not at all Jethro.

I'm saying whether morality is in decay depends on the individual, not some retarded "peer reviewed" study using shitty metrics.

If you were a literate man, you wouldn't struggle with it.

The morals of Western civilization have been based on Christian principles for the past 1,700 years. However, for the better part of the last century, there has been a growing campaign to cast aside both Christianity and its morals. Now there is a sizable portion of our population openly hostile to both. To deny our morals are not declining, is to deny what our morals have been for almost two millennia.

No, the argument was morals were "subjective", which means they are real to the extent that the person views them as significant.

See, this is a great example.

In your mind currently, you really think you are correct. Reality is, you look like the dumbass now, but you will never see it because you think you are morally superior to the "stupid person that doesn't know what the frick he's talking about". This is your "truth".

Your views of morality differ from theirs, we don't even have the same norms as progressives.

"Morality" isnt collective, its personal.

Precisely.

The average reading comprehension level in the USA is 7th grade. He provided a fantastic example of it.

This is absolutely correct.

Today, those same people who once segregated these folks now state that we can't punish them for crimes, they are too stupid to get basic items like IDs to vote, they are too stupid to understand who to vote for so we have to identify political parties on ballots, they are too stupid to meet standards so we lower them, they are too stupid to be hired so we force companies to hire based on skin color.....the list goes on and on. Their morals have changed, but is it for the better?

Well, on this one, the group locking gays in cages is starting to fight back against the gay agenda, but since the left is too scared to fight them, this will be fun to watch.

I believe it. The internet is a cesspool of negativity, but if you ignore it and focus on your daily interactions with people, they are mostly positive.

We dont lock them up for being gay, but we get them fired for opposing child gender transitions and beat them mercilessly on social media if they claim sexualizing kids is about sex.

Thats so goddamned moral.
