From Soft Justice To Generational Welfare: Why America’s Moral Collapse Can Only Be Fixed

From Soft Justice To Generational Welfare: Why America’s Moral Collapse Can Only Be Fixed With Brutal Common Sense
Movements start out with ideas, even if they take a while.
Last year when Iryna Zarutska was (allegedly — our lawyer said we have to put that until it is adjudicated) murdered on the train by DeCarlos Brown Jr., I (and countless others) wrote about the scourge of violent criminals being released to prey on innocent civilians. But I recently started looking at it from a different angle, particularly when I saw the contrast between the way the Knicks fans behaved after their team won and the Japanese did after their team’s game. It occurred to me that something bigger is going on. Not that the scourge of violent crime isn’t real, because it is and we see it play itself out on our screens every day.
No, I started to look at it differently in that this whole soft on the bad guys problem is a symptom, not the cause, per se. It’s like focusing on the rope or the gun someone uses to commit suicide rather than recognizing that a lot went on before they ever got to that point. As such, the problem is much deeper than a broken justice system. America is in the middle of a moral crisis.
We see it every day, almost everywhere. In Minnesota, we see immigrants defrauding taxpayers out of millions via fake childcare and healthcare scams. After the Karmelo Anthony verdict, black supporters were saying that the “poor boy” should be set free while others were calling for the murder of whites. Across the country we see “teens” ruin stores, community activities, and sporting events with virtual impunity. In LA we saw an election be stolen with everyone watching. In cities from Baltimore to Chicago and beyond, we see schools that graduate kids who can’t even read.
I could go on with an encyclopedia length list of examples of moral problems showing themselves in America every day.
It’s one thing to have a moral crisis as an individual. You handle that by going to see your priest, talking with friends or family, or finding a support group. But what does a nation do when it has such a crisis? Sadly, usually nothing. But not always, as we’ve seen in El Salvador.
From a third of Americans on the government dole to drunk drivers with multiple arrests to the owners of vicious dogs getting slaps on the wrist when their dogs attack, the signs of the moral crisis are seemingly everywhere.
The reality is, in America in 2026, we have a crisis of responsibility. More precisely, we have a crisis of consequences. Simply put, almost no one is ever held responsible for anything and most feel like they have the right to… everything and anything. In a country of 350 million people, there are over 100 million of them living off the taxes of others. From welfare to food stamps to housing assistance and more, America has become a place where not working and living off taxpayers is not only normal, but a right. There are families who have lived on welfare for generations, and no one feels any responsibility to work to provide for their family.
America could easily become the vanguard of Western civilization once again by simply acting morally, with common sense: Make America a place where people are forced to take responsibility for their actions again.
But politically, the challenge with that is… women. Not to put a too-fine point on it, but much of what’s wrong with America began when women gained the right to vote… and even before: Who do you think began the Prohibition movement? Where do you think gold stars in schools and participation trophies come from? Women are naturally empathetic to a far higher degree than men. How many times have you seen when a brute attacks a couple and the man, defending them, begins to beat the hell out of the bad guy, only for the woman to try to restrain her man, and as a consequence, they both get beaten to a pulp? Think of that on a civilizational scale. It’s no wonder that three women, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, and Ursula von der Leyen, are most responsible for the West being overrun by third-world invaders.

It always begins with 1.
Be the 1.
When a bunch of 1s begin, it's a force to be reckoned.

The British solved it by shipping people to the colonies.
So we need an Australia.

Yup. We need to do that as well as deport millions of illegal aliens and then denaturalize and deport millions of legal aliens as well as the millions of anchor babies. Otherwise we’re eventually gonna be in a civil war/balkanization

Women should stay out of the political arena and the judicial system. We need defiance & morality to make a comeback in a positive way w/ male dominance, like there was decades ago. Trump's cabinet now has strong male leadership!!!
Bring back common sense and strong men to standup and say NO, we're not backing down to BS and wokeness!!!

We have a moral crisis because of religious pluralism and ignorant, faithless Christians.
God grounds morality in something objective. Without Him, morality is entirely subjective (based on the human experience), and ultimately boils down to whose personal preferences and opinions are enforced in a might-makes-right paradigm. Anyone can be “moral”, but only the God of the Bible provides the rational basis for the need to be moral at all.
Christians need to preach both grace and law again. We need to be active in preaching the gospel to the lost in America. We need to be advocating for Christian leaders with solid professions of faith and consistency in their walk with Christ. We need to organize around social and political reforms that give honor to King Jesus by being grounded in biblical principles for His sake.
We need to pray more, read our Bibles more, attend godly and biblical churches who hold members account with discipline more regularly, reform worship according to the Bible, and live lives consistent with our faith. Men need to act as the heads of their households by leading according to God’s Word, loving their wives by leading them sacrificially as Christ does, and women need to submit in the Lord to their husbands rather than seeking to rule over them. Children need to be a focus of the house by having several and disciplining them consistently, teaching them God’s Word and training them to be faithful Christians and dutiful citizens.
We have a moral problem because Christians have become ignorant and lazy, and society has been embracing the false idea that our society can be equally and consistently moral without Christianity.
