Why our cultures and civilization is failing.

[zodium]

western civilization died in the 1980s when we lost the ability to tell what effects our actions would cause. youre living in its rotting corpse.

"its a loss of meaning," i continue to insist as my psychological structure is torn apart like a ww1 biplane made out of wood suddenly finding itself in a mach 12 wind tunnel

The loss of meaning I’m positing is exactly why Marxism will never happen. The rudderless fools you think will bring about the revolution aren’t made of the stuff for that to happen

But do keep agitating for millions of deaths so that people won’t be wealthier than yourself. Typical European

When did I say it was a command? Reading comprehension is key, duderino.

This guy says simultaneously that there has never been a better time to be alive/that to make things better people need to revert to cultural norms from 50-100++ years ago.

Apparently never considering the drastically loosened grip of religion over society probably has a lot to do with the overall increased well-being for the general public.

My point wasn't that he's trying to tell me what to do or force me to believe. My point was that his suggestion was imbecilic.

"duh guys just believe in jesus and things won't be so bad".... My arms are truly not long enough for the jerk off motion in my soul.

I didn’t say you needed to be a zealot, you’ll notice I also suggested a constructive hobby

I’d tend to agree that moving towards less racism and more opportunities for women, things that have possibly happened as a result of us being less religious, are good things

I’m also arguing against a guy suggesting Marxism, which, in every form, has always resulted in millions of deaths. But I guess you being told to go to church is worse than that. I disagree, and I’m a handsomillionaire

Pauldrons and a chain mail skirt aught to help a little with the mach 12 winds. Doesn't really matter if you or your mate/s wear em.

Tbh, no one really knows what is coming in the next 10 years, let alone 40. We've rapidly accelerated. However most people live inside weirdly localized time bubbles.

As a time traveler and observer whos name means to "look". I'm just here to let you all know drugs should be totally 9000% cheep and legal and poor people need to eat healthier. We should govern ourselves and do our best to not rely on UBI or the ER doing anything about our illnesses and problems.

Wow, we are so lucky to have this immigrant tell all of us americans how to live. Lol funny he abandoned his own country and people to come to america, cause he knows best. He must know iran is not worth saving... the rats always jump off a sinking ship. Its their instinct. Everquest and video games are illegal in iran, are they not??

i like extended family grps for traditionalism. the atomized "nuclear family" was step 1 in breaking down the family into highly consumptive units, disconnecting people from their elders, and dissolving community. but i understand some ppl are addicted to the norms they are born in, can conceive of nothing else and are dumb so i will not endeavor to rock your quite literally neo-conservative casbah further.

Traditionally humans lived in larger groups, 20-50 was typical in a tribe. It's been proven through genetic studies. We are totally not a monogamous species. I mean just look at the marriage and divorce rates. Yet we aren't entirely polyamorous either. We're something in between.

I do think we'd be happier as a species living together in larger complexes. Though getting there would be a radical shift. If anything we're still trending in the other direction. Another possibility would be single living spaces within a larger communal area. As crime continues to decrease this may become a reality.
