I've been tying to understand WHY. Why racial, economic, cultural differences matter? Why I'm supposed to care one way or the other about someones race, if they are rich or poor, where they came from (their culture).
"There are two races of men in this world, but only these two -- the "race" of the decent man and the "race" of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people."
As for the question of WHY the answer is because the more us peasant are in-fighting the more those in power can do with less scrutiny from the people. GenX had all but eliminated racism. Yes there was still racism here and there because we are humans and there will always be in group preferences, but the majority had moved on and the Rap/Hip-Hop culture had a lot to do with that. Young people of all races found something in common. When the Wall Street elites witnessed Occupy Wall street it scared them significantly. The peasants of varying ethnicities had banded together pointing teh finger of anger at these elites. They jumped into action finding ways to stir up racial tensions and helped prop up modern feminism to drive a similar wedge between the sexes. What we call woke was being crafted and promoted at this point and their efforts worked perfectly. Racial tensions as well as tensions between the sexes are back where they need to be to keep the useless eaters occupied.
I am impressed by how articulate these students are, how well they think on their feet, and how they employ critical thinking skills. I am also impressed with the moderator. Talk about skill! I imagine a good deal of hard work and preparation had to go into managing the debate topics and participants - effectively - in real time. As for the overarching question (“Are we heading toward a moral society?”), is the question meant to imply a moral society (writ large) does not exist? Do different groups within society have more morals than others? If so, what accounts for that? Do different people define their morality differently? How much of “morality” is based on people taking responsibility for their own actions and speech? If taking responsibility were more pervasive, would society be more moral than less moral - regardless of how you define morality?
No. We've been on a slippery slope in the opposite direction for many generations picking up speed with each generation. Between now and the 1950's we have greatly cheapened the value of life and the importance of the family upon which a successful society is built. We have women openly bragging about how many abortions they’ve had. How can one see that and not view it as moral decay, the cheapening of life? This is why ever generation since the Boomers and possibly further back have viewed the culture of their kids as alarming to terrifying. As GenX my culture was that of the 80's/90's. To my parents, my culture horrible, disgusting and in some cases immoral but to me it's just normal culture precisely because it's what was the current culture during my most impressionable years. To each generation, the culture that is current to their most impressionable years is to them the norm. A review of history shows that both the Weimar Republic and Rome both were going thru similar events just prior to collapse, those being the feminization and sexual perversion of society.
One need only look at what's happening in major cities like Philadelphia, San Francisco and NYC to see the moral decline. These cities are looking at serious financial issues and what do those in charge of the city do? They double down on what they've been doing. We have leaders in government that appear to be determined to commit societal suicide. The US is on the verge of losing the one thing that has funded our abusive and wasteful national governments actions, regardless of which political party was in charge, and other nations are fed up with it. The number one import from America for many years has been debt. Every administration including Trumps, in the last 50 years have acted like addicts but instead of a recreational drug, money has been their drug. Should that happen before these cities demand to be bailed out, that which the Federal government has a bad habit if doing, those cities will within a few days collapse and become something portrayed in post-apocalyptic stories.
When this happens all that women have claimed to have achieved due to feminism, will be quickly wiped away as government will not have the necessary resources to enforce those rights. Women don’t posses the ability to enforce their will on men and so the rights they have exist because men enforce them. It will fall to the local community and men at that level are not going to tolerate what modern feminism has promoted. As a father of 2 wonderful and highly intelligent girls I fear for their future in a post 2nd great depression society. If you think this is hyperbole then you're not paying attention. Once enough nations stop using the US dollar to purchase oil it's game over for the US and what will rise from that is I fear a Handmaids Tale like world assuming the US isn't attacked and conquered by a nation that has not allowed itself to slip into such a state of moral decay. I do NOT want such a world for my girls. My wife and I worked so we could have her stay at home and raise and then homeschool our kids and compared to their public school educated peers they are geniuses. They also are able to see thru the lies being promoted to society and they know that what is being promoted as a moral future society is pure fiction.
That's a really thoughtful comment. If we don't take stock and become *genuinely* honest about this problem... well, let's just say nothing good will happen...
Men unfortunately are going to have forcibly rid society of feminism and soon, before we have unrecoverable problems like a population collapse. I have 2 wonderful teenage daughters whom are/will be going to college and I support that but only because we have the money saved up so no student loans and they are required to pursue a hard science and not any of the soft sciences. We home schooled them both so they are smarter than their peers. We spent all of our time educating them instead of indoctrinating them.
There are women who have what is really needed to be in governance/leadership but they are the very few and its because that's how nature (or the creator if that's your belief) made women that way just as men were made the way they are. Feminism has poisoned the minds of generations of women and even to this day, even with those who can see thru the lies of DEI and woke ideology still refuse to call out feminism. At it's core feminism teaches women to be selfish, to find any excuse/reason to place the women's desires above the needs of all including family & kids. Men have an obligation to women to defend and protect., it's why only men are required to register for the draft. If men are obligated to go to war when called upon then aren't women also obligated to society to do their part such as finding a good man , getting married and making babies;' ideally at least 3 b/c we are looking at population collapse/

They all made it to finals, so there were the best of the best. And yes, I too was genuinely impressed.

The book things sounds interesting.
