Yeah, in the case of America, our founders’ singular greatest failure was in underestimating how quickly our population would grow. If you had asked them how long it would take to get to 300 million, they’d have said “2350 AD, at the earliest”. This is relevant because our electoral college system is perhaps the most brilliant equalizer of power devised, and had we grown more slowly, would have been fine, the states would have adapted, but at the rapid rate we’ve actually had? Each state with a population over a million should have its own electoral college system for electing their governors, and each city or county with a population over a million should have an electoral college for mayor! That’s what should have been in our constitution. America, and by extension our influence on the world, would be in a much better place today.
Western culture has shifted from an unwritten emphasis on moral improvement and character formation for the benefit of the whole to one of a celebration of the Self in the absence of any and all moral restraints. In such a scenario, the baser impulses of human nature will overwhelm the higher impulses and the society resulting from this will disintegrate into strongman factions.

Unfortunately it is not this that is causing most of the political problems, it is actually those that either would like to do good but don't have an adequate understanding of society and so make poor decisions or there are of course the other politicians and influencial people, even the larger populus, that only do what appears on the surface level to be the 'good" thing for narcissistic or selfish reasons.

The Judeo-Christian worldview is behind the good aspects of Western Culture. God who gave it says: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chron 7:14)
@@go0ose How can you call the following values nonsense. Your security depends on it: Here are 10 of those values. No. 1: There is one God. That God is the God introduced to the world by the Hebrew Bible - the source of one universal morality. No. 2: The Hebrew Bible (the only Bible Jesus knew and which he frequently cited) introduced the most revolutionary moral idea in history: that there are objective moral truths just as there are mathematical and scientific truths. Without God as the source of moral standards, there is no moral truth; there are only moral opinions. No. 3: Because there are moral truths, good and evil are the same for all people. No. 4: God - not man, not government, not popular opinion, not a democratic vote - is the source of our rights. All men “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,” declares the American Declaration of Independence. No. 5: The human being is “created in the image of God.” Therefore, each human life is precious. Therefore, race is of no significance, since we are all created in God’s image and God has no race. No. 6: The world is based on a divine order, meaning divinely ordained distinctions. Among these divine distinctions are God and man, man and woman, human and animal, good and evil, nature and God, and the holy and the profane. No. 7: Man is not basically good. Christians speak of “original sin” in referring to man’s sinful nature; Jews cite God Himself in Genesis: “The will of man’s heart is evil from his youth” (Genesis 8:21). They are not identical beliefs, but they are both worlds apart from the naive Enlightenment belief that man is basically good. And they come to the same conclusion: we need God-based rules to keep us from our natural inclination to do evil. No. 8: Therefore, we must not follow our hearts. Both religious Jews and Christians are keenly aware of how morally dangerous it is to be led by our emotions. Those who reject Judeo-Christian values are far more likely to follow and promote the advice, “Follow your heart.” No. 9: God gave us the Ten Commandments - the core of Judeo-Christian values. Therefore, to apply but one of the Ten Commandments to our morally confused secular age, you must “Honor your father and mother” even if they voted for someone you loathe - meaning, at the least, remain in contact with them and do not dare deprive them of the right to be in contact with their grandchildren. No. 10: Human beings have free will. In the secular world, there is no free will because all human behavior is attributed to biology and environment. Only a religious worldview, because it posits the existence of a divine soul - something independent of biology and environment - allows for free will.

Large cities are a bad idea. No one knows anyone. Small communities work because you know who can be trusted or not. Add in the idea that some are more equal than others and you have modern politics. So you end up with masses of ill-informed voters trying to get favours from a political elite, who in turn by the votes with promises of favourable treatment. This was why the smart greek philosophers didn't like democracy back when it was invented. It you give people a choice, 60% of the population will vote for the politicans who will loot the other 40% and give some to them. They will also loot the treasury's and pass the debt to someone else. It is nothing new it has been happening for a long time. Empires come and go usually after political policy.

Evil has never been subdued with tolerance and understanding...'tolerance' is only a virtue to cowards. Tolerance tells on itself, no one need tolerate what is objectively good.
Free speech means you don't get locked up by the government for saying something. It doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want without people making fun of you or choosing not to associate with you. Grow up
Old man shouting at clouds to stay off his lawn. What nonsense. I see no sense of reason in this comment section. Just a bunch of old grumps thinking of the good old days.
I do believe our society is collapsing. But I do not believe we have ever been tolerant. You would have to go to India to see what a true tolerant society looks like. Tolerance happening with an only one group doesn’t mean tolerance. It is scary. But after everything, collapses, I am hopeful, that things will truly be tolerant. I believe we fool ourselves into thinking we are better or that we have been better in the past. That is just not true.
The tolerance of European thinking and values in the 18th and 19th century - that would news to the people of China, India, South America, Africa- pretty much everywhere but Europe.
And yet, both are true at the same time. Instead of tolerance developing in a slow, organic way, it increasingly grew impatient with those resisting it, until it increasingly resorted to force to end intolerance, but that has led to the current catastrophe. We’ve STILL not found a stable balance, especially with Marxism/Gnosticism parasitizing on the margins, which THRIVES amidst instability, so actively sabotages all reasonable compromise, all attempts at self restraint. We should be walking on the EDGE of Chaos, “Too much diversity is as harmful as too little”, Michael Crichton.
One could trace the start of this almost directly to giving women the right to vote. Our forefathers rightly knew that the overwhelming majority of women would vote for security over freedom every time. It took less than 100 years to turn us into a nanny state.
There are two sides in this society those that believe in GOD and those that don’t! Those that don’t don’t know what the devil has in store for them. We need to pray to GOD for forgiveness for them and for us as well. Praise be to GOD!

@notyourordinarygran can't deal with him? Satan provides the exam in this life of ours. If you aren't aware of that, you're likely failing the exam.

18th and 19th centuries were tolerant….why is he lying so much
Captain Kangaroo will save us
Evil has never been subdued with tolerance and understanding...'tolerance' is only a virtue to cowards. Tolerance tells on itself, no one need tolerate what is objectively good.
West civilization is a teenager.
When is free speech deemed 'far right'. Enough is enough.
Free speech means you don't get locked up by the government for saying something. It doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want without people making fun of you or choosing not to associate with you.
Grow up

What nonsense. I see no sense of reason in this comment section.
Just a bunch of old grumps thinking of the good old days.
I do believe our society is collapsing. But I do not believe we have ever been tolerant. You would have to go to India to see what a true tolerant society looks like. Tolerance happening with an only one group doesn’t mean tolerance. It is scary. But after everything, collapses, I am hopeful, that things will truly be tolerant. I believe we fool ourselves into thinking we are better or that we have been better in the past. That is just not true.
So yeah...
Yuri Bezmenov was exactly right about everything.
Already has in parts of the world lol
The tolerance of European thinking and values in the 18th and 19th century - that would news to the people of China, India, South America, Africa- pretty much everywhere but Europe.
And yet, both are true at the same time. Instead of tolerance developing in a slow, organic way, it increasingly grew impatient with those resisting it, until it increasingly resorted to force to end intolerance, but that has led to the current catastrophe.
We’ve STILL not found a stable balance, especially with Marxism/Gnosticism parasitizing on the margins, which THRIVES amidst instability, so actively sabotages all reasonable compromise, all attempts at self restraint.
We should be walking on the EDGE of Chaos, “Too much diversity is as harmful as too little”, Michael Crichton.
One could trace the start of this almost directly to giving women the right to vote. Our forefathers rightly knew that the overwhelming majority of women would vote for security over freedom every time. It took less than 100 years to turn us into a nanny state.
I hope it takes less than 100 years for the next batch of results. And I wanna be alive to see it!
Jesus changes lives, qll the cultural tolerance misses the point. Justice and mercy in Christ can only achieve change
With Christ it will be restored.
In other news 🗞️ old man 👴🏻 shouts at clouds ☁️
Is this not the Spirit of the anti christ ? as described in 1 John 4:3 ? Peoples love growing cold and lawlessness increasing ?
Of course it’s nothing to do with rejecting the God of the Bible……It has EVERYTHING to do with that.
There are two sides in this society those that believe in GOD and those that don’t! Those that don’t don’t know what the devil has in store for them. We need to pray to GOD for forgiveness for them and for us as well. Praise be to GOD!
Keep your prayers. I have no need of them since I do not believe in either.
@@notyourordinarygran that is your right. But. I as a believer am to follow Jesus and attempt to bring you closer to Him. You can lead a horse to water but you CANNOT make him drink
No $hit.
We will not survive this. The good news is, the lord is nigh. The wise will act accordingly. The fools will carry on as they have been, and will soon stand before His Judgment Throne. I would not wish to be in their shoes on that most terrible day!
What a nob
