Who do you blame for the rapid moral decline in Western civilization especially America and why?

Question

Some people blame the left/liberals because they tend to coddle criminals instead of punishing them with harsher prison sentences.

Others blame feminism, while others blame single moms, others blame fatherless homes, others blame weak male leadership, others blame lack of personal responsibility, others blame the education system which is indoctrinating young minds with woke ideologies and others blame lack of religious beliefs.

And others blame the right/conservatives because they fight hard through political will power to keep wages low for certain jobs they don't think adults should work thus creates massive poverty in certain communities which brings about various crimes and lack of opportunities for the underprivileged etc.

This is a very challenging question with many layers, that enviably lead us down a twisting turn road with many intersecting roads and off ramps.

I have thought hard about this, as we watch what where once pillars of our social fabric be unwoven and re-woven with in my own lifetime. Ultimately, it has to come back to family values at some point. Single woman raising kids alone, with dad being cut out the picture all together. Yeah, maybe the woman doesn't need a man, but the I would wager those kids do need a positive male role model in their lives.

What do we see when children do not have positive male parental role models, we see gender confusion, we see young girls who do not place value on the roles a man could play in her life, we see boys that were never taught how to be a good man and had no good men in their lives. We have boys that want to be girls and girls that don't need or want men... and we invest much of our energy within society trying to make them feel validated as if it does not go back to childhood trauma. Because they never had a normal childhood where a man and woman came together in a positive and progressive way to parent together.

We have culture dominated by the politics of race, when vast majority don't even care. We have culture where voices are silenced and/or canceled out. Heroes are slain, history is revised... everything that made us who we are is erased and/or rewritten and forgotten. We preach about inclusion and diversity, when we don't really celebrate true diversity, and we are all anything but inclusive. And we are told that is okay, and that is good, but people do not feel okay or good about it.

Honestly, I don't really have answer to this question, because religion is not where it's at either. But as a individual if you value honesty, then you have to respect dishonesty, because you do not get one without the other. If everyone was honest, then honesty would have no value... it would be taken for granted. Same with love, faith, integrity, loyalty... if you truly want these things then you must accept that they all come at price, and that price should be worth paying if you truly want those things. But too often in today's society we told to never settle, which literally is easily translated into never compromise on your beliefs, wants and needs. This is the true failure. Life is all about compromise and settling where you can afford to and not settling but compromising where it matters the most.

Whenever I am I hear that I don't need a man or woman, I don't need to or am willing to settle... then I lay blame at your feet, because more than likely you are neglecting things about yourself, and in your life that is nobody elses fault but your own.

Feminism, LGBT, single parent families, violence, promiscuity and everything else are all symptoms of the source... us forgetting we are children of God and listening to the enemy. It is a repeat of what's in the Bible in different angles. Even if you look at the so called COVID shots. Those with discernment will recognize that it is an attempt to corrupt humanities DNA as Satan tried to do before at the times of Noah. The difference is that today TV has made us think that all of that is science fiction when it science reality.

Maybe because, from what I've read, America plays no part in the Last Days. It all happens in the Mid East and involves Israel and a 10-nation confederacy that tries to take Israel out. Maybe the US got bombed, or Yellowstone blew up, or we, like USSR, went bust because we gave money to everyone else when we didn't even have a pot to piss in. The moral decay was foretold, that it would be like people were in the days of Noah. As it says in 2nd Timothy 3, this is what we will turn into.

But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3without natural affection in sex, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, 4traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 5holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. They will worship money, not God.

It is a combination of all the things you listed in your first two paragraphs.

Conservatives don't fight to keep wages low. They fight against making wages artifically high. The free market should determine wages, NOT the government.

Reichmann75 · Answer

I blame the guys who come from all of those western countries because they let this happen. More, they actively support those changes.

If guys didn't want this, women would still not have the right to vote or work, be cheap men copies who refuse to do their women job (have children and perpetuate the legacy). If guys didn't want third world immigrants to flood their countries and replace them, they could have just say no.

Most of the people think like all this is somekind of fate decided by superior entities but it really isn't. Weak men produce weak societies, that's all. Every civilisation is a line. It rises, it lives, it dies, and it is eventually replaced by another. The western civilisation, just like antic Rome, is ending, because its inhabitants have gone too far in luxury and degeneracy.

The lack of religion is one of the biggest causes in my opinion

Even if you aren't religious, you must realize that people use religion as a guide to their moral standing. Make fun of the stories, blame them the actions of others within their own religion but to remove it from existence is a death sentence for human morality. We have freedom of religion for a reason.

Do you know why the divorce rate is so high? Because marriage used to have a religious foundation, making the promise to not abandon each other in front of their deity used to mean something. Now people are giving religion up and now no longer care if they break a promise to that deity. Marriage now has no point anymore, it might as well just be a relationship with a fancy label that takes a lot of skin if torn off.

I blame the fall of dad in marriage who just got so pissed from 1985 to pesent day where dad walked out the door at home and never came back
Their more single mothers out there trying. g to make.
Look at TivToc your find more woman who say I am divorced and lonely
We got to get Dad back into his family
To do that we as a Christian nation should do as God required here. We as Christians need to fall on our knees and ask God to let us turn from our wicked ways and if we do God will heal our land
What God will do is put school back where they were
God made Adam from dirt and blew into his lung the breathe of live them he saw Adam lonely so he put Adam in a deep sleep and took out a rib and Eve period
God will put Dad back in the home

This is what we need today and it up to us Christian today to start this process of God's healing of United States of America

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

All of the above you just mentioned.

But especially the rise in secular lifestyle values and the lack of importance placed on family and religion are the biggest culprits.

We need Jesus now more than ever.

findacure4wokeness · Answer

I blame those who actively bought about those things you mentioned. I can't say who those people are because my post will get taken down so the people who are to blame are the ones with whom you aren't allowed to criticize.

America has turned it's back on God, and His laws regarding morality. The "Christian" pastors and preachers have become wimpy in their sermonizing, and need to return to a more aggressive style of Hellfire and Brimstone preaching in our church buildings

Ironically it coincided with the gays being given acceptance and free reign. I'm not saying they caused it. And I'm not anti-gay. I'm just saying it's interesting that they began at the same time.
