What Happened to Western Civilisation ?

What happened to Western civilisation? Once a bastion for free speech and rational thinking, it is now turned inwards. No longer optimistic about the prospects of their society’s future. What once was taken for granted, organised religion, traditional moral values, and the family, are factors that had once been powerful enough to channel their native talents into productive avenues. But now these values have become unsettled, controversial, ineffectual, and, by many, despised as opposed to their nihilist ambitions for society at large. These Woke socialists actually believe in nothing, have no real loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy for the pure satisfaction of destroying for its own sake.

Suppose this current generation lacks confidence in the natural sociability of humans. In that case, it is probably because the preconditions of social life, which they imagined to be unchanging, have turned out to be empty vessels. What their parents took for granted is becoming increasingly irrelevant and ineffectual in the twenty-first century. Moral and political thought has been reduced to a gutter mentality, where all things are acceptable. Should this slide into the abyss continue, there will be no hope for the next generation.
