The core reason our society is collapsing is because of global decadence. I believe this is the root of our problems.
Anyone who has read the Old Testament would know that the early Israelites fell into a recurring cycle. They would win significant battles or experience prosperity, then turn to idol worship. Because they abandoned their faith, God would punish them through military defeat, bad rulers, or even captivity in Babylon.
This same cycle is found not just in the Bible, but in every area of life. Think of a sports team, musician, or public figure who achieved outsized success only to succumb to laziness, complacency, and abandoning what got them there.
As humans, we have a tendency to become complacent during good times. Decadence creeps in, and instead of focusing on civilization building and the future, people chase pleasures. Once the people of a civilization disregard the future, they’ve pretty much dug their own grave. The Romans learned this the hard way.
Today is no exception…
The Pax Americana brought about an era of peace and prosperity that may never be seen again. Because of this, the world has also become the most decadent it has ever been.
It’s this decadence that has allowed us to neglect the future while introducing pernicious ideas. Ideas like feminism, postmodernism, secular humanism, and more. If decadence is what weakens our civilizational immune system, these foundational frameworks are the disease.
The symptoms are what we see today: hookup culture, instant gratification, sexual depravity, wealth inequality, lower birth rates, extreme hypergamy, etc. But like an infected organism, if symptoms go untreated, you risk death.
But many people today still can’t see the symptoms or the disease. Our modern era has essentially given us soma through technology, suppressing our drive to fight back.
Only when normies lose their comforts will we see things change. Once the bread and circuses are gone, people won’t have a choice but to wake up.
Only then can healing begin.
