A Look at America Today

A Look at America Today

It starts from the top down

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern society, it is not uncommon to observe the fading presence of traditional values and practices. In America, a nation historically rooted in traditionalism, there is a growing concern that these foundational principles are losing their significance in contemporary culture. Further more it is promoted by Western Nations political leaders.

To see this you look no further than the American White Administration which has openly invited degenerate acts onto the White House lawn and into the its cabinet chambers. Most recently the 2024 Olympics in Paris where two biological men are dominating Women's Boxing at the defense of the IBA (International Boxing Association).

Missing Core Elements

  1. The Erosion of Family Values: Strong family units were the cornerstone of society. However, in recent times, there has been a gradual erosion of family values in America. The rise of divorce rates, single-parent households, and the diminishing significance of marriage and commitment have contributed to this decline. As a result, the stability and cohesiveness once associated with traditional family structures have given way to fragmented and transient relationships.  Second wave feminism (1960s - 1970s), greedy politicians and corporations can be attributed largely to the cause.  A push by lobbyist groups encouraged Mothers to leave their family house holds in the pursuit of work lives.

  2. Shifts in Gender Roles: Society has become conditioned to the emasculation of men. Another product of second wave feminism, has encouraged women to enter into male spaces that were largely dominated by men or women were ordinarily excluded from. While in the most visible instances it comes off as innocuous. There are real societal consequences, and what no better example the U.S. Army. recruiting statistics. Occupations like the Infantry were exclusively male, but in recent changes has allowed women to join them in their ranks. Controversially this came with a reduction in standards and shift in Warrior culture. Because it lacks the bravado masculine culture, young men are no longer enlisting. This inarguably weakens our military readiness as men are the primary fighters of war. Source The Army's Recruiting Problem Is Male.    
  3. Diminishing Respect for Authority: Respect for authority and institutions has traditionally been deeply ingrained in American culture. However, contemporary society has witnessed a growing trend of skepticism and cynicism towards authority figures. This lack of reverence is exemplified by declining trust in political leaders, law enforcement, and even traditional institutions such as religious organizations. The erosion of respect for authority undermines social cohesion and can lead to a breakdown in the functioning of democratic systems.
  4. Loss of Cultural Identity: There used to be the preservation of cultural heritage and identity. However, with the increasing globalization and the blending of cultures immigration both legal and illegal have brought rising tensions to Western communities. In the past immigrates would often make an effort to assimilate to their host Nations cultural traditions, norms and more importantly respect the rule of law. Immigrants now tend to replace or smoother the surrounding culture. 

    Loss of cultural identity can lead to a sense of disconnection and alienation within communities. In a recent example we can look to the UK and Ireland where the death of three little girls has sparked outrage and fights between UK, Irish Nationals and Muslim immigrants. What's worse is their own government has branded them as terrorists. Source British prime minister announces policing plan to deal with violence after fatal stabbing of girls.  

While societal progress and adaptation are essential for a dynamic and inclusive society, it is crucial to recognize the potential consequences of the declining influence of traditionalism. As America continues to evolve, it is essential to strike a balance between embracing new ideas and preserving the fundamental values that have guided the nation for centuries. The revival of traditionalism should not be viewed as regressive but rather as an opportunity to reevaluate our core principles and ensure their relevance in a changing world. By fostering a respectful dialogue and engaging in critical self-reflection, we can navigate the complexities of modernity while honoring the wisdom of our traditions.
