Degeneracy signifies a culture that has lost its way, fostering a deep existential malaise within its populace. Such a state, if allowed to persist, is terminal for civilisational prospects and carries the power to corrode the soul.
A relentless attack on the traditional family structure, consisting of a mother, a father, and their children, is the key indicator of degeneracy. This assault has resulted in a noticeable "marriage gap," where marriage increasingly becomes the domain of wealthy, middle-class individuals, often those who vocally advocate progressive values.
Conversely, the decline of marriage is significantly more pronounced in working-class communities, leading to new forms of societal inequality. Historical data shows that the proportion of children born outside marriage remained low from the Victorian era until the 1960s, but has since quadrupled, with working-class areas experiencing the most drastic changes.
A clear sign of degeneracy is the active normalisation of practices once considered unacceptable, such as cuckolding, by certain news organisations, including well-known purveyor of fake news and partisan Deep State shills like CNN. These efforts directly promote the idea that it is acceptable for married individuals to engage in sexual relations outside their marriage.
A significant driver of societal degeneracy is social liberalism, particularly its impact on the subversion of traditional arts and the widespread adoption of "sexual liberation" doctrines. Historical parallels can be drawn to places like Berlin in the 1920s, which became known as the sex capital of Europe, synonymous with perversion, debauchery and creativity.
This era saw the proliferation of outrageous strip clubs, homosexual and lesbian sex clubs, widespread availability of drugs, and intensive scientific research into sex, illustrating a complete breakdown of traditional moral boundaries.
Statistical data regarding sexually transmitted diseases highlights a striking disparity. Individuals engaged in same-sex sexual relations, particularly men who have sex with men, exhibit significantly higher rates of conditions like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis, disproportionately over indexing compared to their estimated population percentage. This phenomenon historically underpinned the moral revulsion surrounding debauchery, especially in periods before modern medical treatments, suggesting a deep-seated connection between debauchery and Sin.
A degenerate society emerges when there is an overwhelming indulgence in sins—such as pride, envy, wrath, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and greed. As these vices become commonplace, traditional virtues like humility, kindness, patience, diligence, temperance, abstinence, and chastity recede into distant memory. This results in a societal environment devoid of moral norms, common standards of decency, and the expectation of individual moral responsibility.
Modern culture exhibits concerning trends such as LGBT fantasies of complete gender reversal, mimicking the behaviours of the opposite sex, men envision themselves in a girlish way, effectively training them to perceive themselves as women. Such gender-bending is ultimately detrimental to civilisational prospects.
Paradoxically, the most affluent and powerful nations typically show higher suicide rates compared to poorer countries. This suggests that material wealth does not equate to a meaningful existence; rather, it often indicates a pervasive emptiness of existence and a life robbed of any meaning, arising from a society that has forsaken higher values of life and personality.
Causes and Drivers of Degeneracy
Degeneracy is not a spontaneous occurrence but is driven by specific ideologies and societal mechanisms. This ideology, especially when applied to cultural norms and values, is a primary catalyst for the rise in right-wing political movements, which often emerge as a conservative cultural backlash against moral decay.
Cultural shifts are frequently the result of deliberate top-down social engineering, where the interests of minority groups are actively promoted, even when they diverge from the majority's stated preferences. This includes legislative actions, such as the repeal of Section 28, which prohibited the promotion of Homosexuality, despite persistent majority public opinion against it. Such interventions are part of a broader effort to render traditional views illegal.
The media plays a critical role by selectively amplifying certain voices and narratives, thereby shaping public perception and contributing to the normalisation of degenerate trends.
A continuous stream of cultural messages, particularly prevalent since the 1990s, has consistently steered society towards these degenerate trends, significantly impacting young and impressionable individuals.
A significant contributor to degeneracy is liberalism within ourselves, a default mode of thought ingrained by pervasive societal conditioning. This internalised liberalism fosters indifference to the future and indifference to the generations that are coming, acting as an "enemy" by promoting complacency and undermining efforts to uphold traditional values.
Society's culture is directly influenced by its laws. Legal frameworks that fail to establish clear distinctions between men and women, or that actively penalise individuals for adhering to or enforcing traditional gender roles, directly contribute to the erosion of societal norms.
Consequences for Civilisation
The implications of unchecked degeneracy are dire and far-reaching. Degenerate trends are ultimately terminal for civilisational prospects, posing an existential threat to the very fabric of society. A populace consisting of confused girlish men and confused manish women, perpetually locked in a battle against their true natures, becomes more pliable and easier to manipulate.
The widespread indulgence in degenerate behaviours is seen to fundamentally corrode the soul of both individuals and the collective. Degenerate societies do not lead to greater happiness; instead, they cultivate nihilism, an pervasive emptiness of existence among their inhabitants.
The Path to Restoration
Reversing the tide of degeneracy necessitates a return to foundational principles and a firm rejection of liberal mindsets. Civilisation must be founded upon the "will to order and give form," wherein every component of the whole is intended to express its "own typical nature" as perfectly as possible.
Men must fully actualise themselves as men, and women as women, transcending any mixture and promiscuity of vocations" For men, this involves embracing paths of "pure virility," exemplified by the warrior, the hero and the ascetic, through "pure action" or "pure detachment".
For women, self-realisation is found as a lover or mother, through totally giving of herself and being entirely for another being. These distinct paths are regarded as the ultimate means of freedom and self-actualisation, unlike the superficial temptations offered by modernity, which are merely a trap.
Actively striving for virtues such as humility, kindness, patience, diligence, temperance, abstinence, and chastity, all of which demand significant self-control, is crucial for establishing a healthy societal equilibrium.
Morality is not a private matter but a societal imperative that must be enforced. This involves actively discouraging and potentially preventing practices that defy the natural order of things.
The liberalism within ourselves must be vigilantly guarded against and ultimately crushed, as it is the enemy that fosters indifference and erodes traditional values.
