Is western society becoming too decadent and perverse?

[Wyrt]

What kind of puritanical bullshit is this? Not sure if the OP is a few decades behind or a few thousand years too late. Hard to tell really.

I'm pretty sure it's not puritanical bullshit and more Nazi "Cultural Marxism" bullshit.

This is a fairly common talking point for them. They think western society is being denigrated by the Jews so that it will collapse.

[Dequanacus]

Are you implying this was not the case at any point in human history? Specifically when you say 'too' as if it has gotten worse

[cordrann]

Yes, but for none of the reasons you listed. The problem with the west is over consumption. We will inevitably destroy ourselves with it.

The past has no importance and the future even less.

Your post is so chock-full of laughable nonsense that it was hard to pick just one, but this stuck out. Mostly because while you're busy typing this, other people on these forums are simultaneously mocking kids who do, in fact, care about the future and the impact climate change is going to have on our societies.

[Traveler Voltin]

have you seen japan?

[Voidism]

I don't think we're more decadent, it's just that we focus on it.

[XangXu]

Yes.

The internet has made our people into entitled, demanding, egotistical, opinionated pieces of shit who have forgotten what it is like to live in nature.

[ParanoiD84]

Slaanesh would be pleased.

Is it because of lack of religion in people's lifes they feel like they lack meaning in life, so they give into lust? It's a fact that religion is not just about believing in space daddy. It also gives meaning to a lot of people and a sense of community with shared morals and belonging. I'm not calling for a 100% return of how society was back then, but they did some things right back then, in creating meaning in people's lifes.

I dislike the way Western Society is going but you do not have to be religious to have morals and values. I am not religious and I have never been drunk, done drugs, cheated and I don't watch porn. I'm married and believe in being a good person that helps others.

I don't have answers but I believe a lot of younger people no longer see the value in family. People get married fast and then break up fast as soon as the other person does one thing they don't like. People hop from relationship to relationship all while pumping out kids. A lot of younger people on my Facebook refer to all men as "niggas" and all women as "bitches" and no one has a husband or father anymore it is all "baby daddy".

[LilSaihah]

Kind of a broad question.

Yeah I think so.

[yetgdhfgh]

they had some good ideas. but i'd rather sex with children remain illegal.

Tiberius was one sick motherfucker!

Caligula mightve grown up somewhat normal if it wasnt for that old sick fuck!

But apart from that damn there parties was legendary!

[Zervek]

It's easy to control others if you shame them for giving into their natural desires (sex). It's one reason why organized religion is so successful

[VanishingAct]

Of course. This same degeneration of civilisation is generally a precursor to its destruction. Everything seems to point towards western civilisation v2.0 having already reached its peak and on the downward decline. History has shown for better or worse there is an opposite reaction by the 'silent majority' that band together and destroy the degradation including the people whom support it, as bad as that is. The times where that does not happen, the civilisation seems to either become weak enough to be destroyed by external influences, implode on its own or a combination of the two.

I recommend This book called 'Degeneration' written by Max Nordau, a jew who is the co-founder of the World Zionist Organization.

Somewhat? I don't really date because it's hard to find someone that actually wants a relationship. The relationships I've had that actually were both of us wanting that have been with other thais. Swedish guys just want to get laid, they will even lead you on if they think it means they'll get to fuck you.

Id say that is guys in general and also the age that matters. Ofcourse it matters what situation the guys are in. Some just dont want to commit to a relationship while others want to have family and all that it entails. Im single and i have no intention of changing that but that is not because i dont want a relationship. I guess i have not met that one woman that turns my life upsidedown yet.

We've been taught to think that "leading a good life" means "indulgence and distracting ourselves with instant pleasures".

[d00mGuArD]

It does though. They think what's in porn is normal.

No they don't!
I know many people, and none of them offered blowjob to the plumber after watching it on porn. Not one.

[Enthusiastic Steward]

Hi! I'm the kingdoms of classical antiquity. I hear you are unfamiliar with my work.

[Unholyground]

I just smoke weed, and live my life, and take care of my family and friends. People can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt others.

Yes, they do. Thinks it's normal to just choke you, "because girls like it rough" or like party I was at when I was 14 "Do you like sex?" Obviously yes. What happens? Group of guys thinks because you wanted to have sex with one, it means all 4 of them can join.

That seems fucked up.

[dubious_doomhammer]

If its between two (or more) consenting adults, then have at it.

I'd rather see people fucking each others brains out, than getting their brains literally shot out.

I will NEVER understand why sex is such a taboo topic, but violence is an accepted norm.

I would also much rather have some dude that smoked pot on my couch than a guy on meth, or pcp, or some other drug like that.

Edit:

More religion is the last thing we need. What people need is a quality education and a quality standard of living ... you know, real things that make their lives here on this planet enjoyable.

We've been taught to think that "leading a good life" means "indulgence and distracting ourselves with instant pleasures".

Yup. It's more than that though, instant pleasures are like a sedative for the lower and middle classes, who might otherwise be motivated to change things around them.
