I would proofread your original post, there are some repeated words other problems. I misunderstood the first sentence. It is missing the word "for" at the end. As someone who does not proofread as he ought to and especially runs into problems using a mobile device, I am not casting aspersions. With that out of the way...
This is something libertarians are often made fun of [FOR] edited.
See the correction in brackets
in the end there isn't really anything I'm gonna do about the current culture and just roll with it.
Every revolution starts with a discussion over coffee. Each of us may not have social media influence, but that can change. Also, to paraphrase voltaire, "No snowlake in an avanalanche wants to think he is responsible."
What really gets me is when it evolves from from something I can ignore to something I can't.
Things that people should not be able to ignore started happening in the 60s, 1920s actually, but that was abated by the Great Depression and that World War the good guys unfortunately lost.
One example that is immediate is single motherhood. That phenomenon came out of arguably good intentions, overstated concerns abou married women leaving abusive homes, concerns that not everyone gets a storybook marriage. That and no fault divorce have caused a dramatic rise in single motherhood households, children born out of wedlock, and the data is so overwhelming as to how those two evils give rise to so many societal problems its staggering. Drug abuse, suicidial ideation, antisocail behavior in school, teenage pregnancy, involvement in the juvenile criminal system, all of it explodes expoenntially with single moms or being born out of wedlock.
Now of course there is a trend in society to legalize marijuana, other illicit drugs. In ten or twenty years we will see how this naive notion that "what someone does in his own private life is his own business" will affect other individuals and society at large.
I have heard this argument about troons. Both adherents to the Cult of Troon and right-wing people who want liberal whites to not breed give different versions of this argument. On twitter, on Dr Phil for chrissake, troonies and their allies will quip "why do you care, why does it affect you." Well, first of all, they are fucking with the language we use. People are using they as a third personal singular pronoun, which is wrong, and also insisting on the notion that people can customize pronouns, which is no less absurd than saying a German speaker can choose to assign "die Frau" the masculine article "der" or a particular mouse (mouse) der because he thinks that mouse is a he, even though mouse takes die. Beyond that, they are calling mothers birthing people, the London Tube and other entities no longer use "ladies and gentlemen" in public address. That alone affects me.
Take an adolescent or young girl who cuts her titties off. That takes a pyschic toll in the same way as someone murdering puppies, to use the example
@SSj_Ness used, even if I do not have a vested emotional interest in those puppies besides a general moral outrage to people who arm animals. Same with the zippertits and rotdog and non binary stuff. More particularly though, those instances affect those around them. It affects those family members who do not buy into the cult of troon. It also affects young men in their age bracket who would take a romantic or sexual interest in them. People do not like to hear this but sex, love, and dating are transactional and are subject to the supply of demand. What this means is that even if three percent of zoomer women and younger succumd to this, it will affect the men in their age group by restricting the supply of eligible women to date, and eventually marry. Even if a young man falls in love, marries, the process is rendered more difficult simply by restricting the law of supply demand.
Some lolberts have suggested you cannot legislate morality and that's bullshit. That is why we have or did have laws against prostitution, illicit drug use, on down the line. Laws against prostitution ought to have been applied to pornography while that evil was still in the genie bottle, but it is too late now.
There are other examples seemingly more benign. Sports gambling for example seems innocuous but there is a video on triggernometry where the guest explicates how it is as addictive as cocaine, and making sports gambling readily available normalizes, makes it more pervasive. People lose their mortgages, divorces break out, people steal either from their own small business or from their small business employer, and all sorts of societal evils emanate from that.
Fast food is another example. The United States Armed Forces has had increasing difficulty meeting recruiting targets for a variety of reasons (fear of getting killed or maimed in a stupid decades long conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq is one, woke military ads and policies are another). But another constant is that younger generations are increasingly unfit because they gorge of McDonald's and other goyslop. And instead of having a real right-wing in this country, we have idiots like Sarah Palin who cheer "yay for soda" in response to Michelle Obama actually being right about something.
