A high trust society does not need much government or police because the people police themselves.
Once you descend into a low trust society the people will demand more government, police and even dictatorship.
It is the democrats goal to transform America into a low trust society. When the people ask for more government they will enthusiastically deliver it.

To have a orderly, clean, prosperous, and healthy society means having the overwhelming majority of people buy into and "do the right thing" simply because it's the right thing.
Yup, exactly. "Right thing" = A culture or civilization of common & shared ethics and morals; "fragile" to maintain indeed. This is why the 1950 and 1960s are looked back with great nostalgia and affection.
Most of our laws are based on virtues like respect, honor and good faith. When that breaks down we get societal anarchy (see Liberal-Marxist policies and unfettered Third World "migration"/Invasions.) Once existing Western "polite societies" become just local pockets here and there. But no longer exist for the "nation" who succumbs.

I'll never believe these unqualified crash-dummie Rats ever "won" anything. They "win" or won because the system was hijacked, sabotaged and rigged by a globalist cartel to demoralize and take America down.

Yet another reason corrupt democrats (redundant I know) want to import garbage from the 3rd world. They are at the end of the day, less moral.

I agree, but I’d say it is more of a change in heart than always doing the right thing , as being perfect and consistent in all our actions. Our heart is changed from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh, and so we champion the truth, not fight against the truth. Imperfect in all our ways, but we are no longer enemies of the truth, rather we love and agree with the truth. There is no longer a war over what is right. We know full well what is right because we have believed on God’s word, and so obeyed the gospel by believing upon Christ.

Volunteerism and cooperation.
The more laws and regulations required, the more your civilization has failed.

True. Without Christian values and teachings we are doomed.

I watch idiots walk into a busy store and there are no buggies available, after they walked by 10 on the way in. Then get the one with the bad wheel.
Groceries = "a bag with different items in it" as
He describes so well. Prices are also way down.

This is sadly the truth. I saw a long detailed post where somebody was explaining how multiculturalism is impossible without a form of totalitarianism

I always chose not to because the thought of my dad being ashamed of me was unthinkable. A little boy needs a dad and it's getting kind of rare these days.

Almost right. The illusion is that is voluntary but in reality we rely on a robust and enforceable legal system that people can depend on and serves a framework to build our businesses and lives around. Business laws, labor laws, employment laws, tax laws, traffic laws, etc that is enforced…
In the US, we inherited this from Britain and it’s served us really well. That said, we are at a very dangerous point where it’s value is diminishing and it’s no longer serving that purpose.
