America’s Moral Degeneracy – Culture Fueled By Decadence

May 16, 2017 By Kaisar

America's Moral DegeneracyVirtue and morality are two pieces of a by-gone era. These two, incredibly important bedrocks of society, are no longer with us in America. But how? Why? What caused America’s moral degeneracy?

From my own perspective, I think there are quite a few reasons. But there’s one I’d like to pinpoint here to my readers. And that specific reason, is the culture shift that has been fueled by decadence.

 

Decadence

 

Decadence is simply:

moral or cultural decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury

But its definition can go much farther than that. You have to really try hard to understand the backbone of this term.

So let’s take it apart, piece by piece. Just as our moral values have been taken apart, piece by piece.

moral decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury

We’ll start with:

moral decline

I’ve talked about this before, in the problems with democracy. But let’s review quickly.

Why is moral decline a negative?

General MacArthur said before that:

History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline.

And he’s right. Ever single country that begin the slide down moral decay has eventually resulted in ruins.

Moral decline is an epidemic, something that should be vehemently protected against. Things that were once “taboo”  becoming the norm, can cause serious detrimental harm to individuals and society as a whole.

You don’t have to look far to find an example of it. Sexual depravity, rejection of civil liberties, obesity, numerous “baby mama’s”, the downfall of the nuclear family, rejoicing in criminality, rejection of virtuous religious traditions, et cetera.

But how does this fit into America’s moral degeneracy?

Let’s check the last part of the definition of decadence:

characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury

Ring any bells?

American’s are becoming increasingly more indulgent through pleasure or luxury.

Pleasure: by the means of sexual disgust (hard pornography, hookup lifestyle, appearances).

Luxury: by the means of greed (money, social status, over-consumption).

All the things pushed by Hollywood, media, elites, celebrities, and all of the other people that many look up to for guidance (Even though they should definitely not be doing so!).

 

America’s Cultural Degeneracy – Tying It Together

 

America is facing a moral decline. That is without question. Anyone that opens there eyes and breaks their bubble can see it.

And a principle reason why it is happening is through a culture fueled by decadence.

As we noted above, this over-indulgence in pleasure and luxury have led Americans to become interested in morally questionable things.

Instead of seeking virtue, morality, happiness – they seek social status, money, or a temporary high.

This is the new culture for many Americans. And most importantly, the kids growing up around it.

And culture is just the common collection of individuals living in one place, together. If their opinions and responses change, so do the culture. With this new, decadent culture, we can expect to keep seeing more degeneracy until it hits a boiling point, as General MacArthur and many others have noticed.

I think a main reason that a lot of the degeneracy has come around is because of the lack of religion. Religious values find most of this modern garbage as abhorrent. Since they fell, so has a lot of our culture

The stomping on religion has definitely not helped our situation, so I agree with you completely.

American culture allows gambling, negatively enabling music to be sold that perverts the youth, psychologically poisonous BDSM that is displayed in Fifty Shades of Grey, obesity to be acceptable, smoking that causes lung cancer and higher chance of mortality, money to be glorified in a soulless manner, video games like Grand Theft Auto to be played that has themes that are the epitome of immorality, the rich sociopaths to evade taxes at the expense of not funding certain things that actually help make society functional, and the sociopathic Hollywood and other industries to allow blood, emotionless sex, violence, and evil power to all be glorified and/or normalized. America has spread its legs to sociopathic “freedom” for money, power, and sex. So, I am not surprised that most people in America are not very good people that help society in the land of the *coughs* rich sociopaths versus the innocent people *coughs* “free.” I am not religious nor am I a supporter of patriarchy from Abrahamic religions. Buddhism is the most attractive religion for me since it supports no extremely patriarchal or matriarchal systems. I do not find that a lack of religiousness has caused the moral degeneracy. I find it is the evil “freedom” to do whatever they want to do with no regard to consequences that is what leads to moral degeneracy.

What you call “American” has nothing to do with American values prior to communist infiltration and subversion.
