You and Alain (and many others) have a very simplistic, fashion driven outlook on life with no regard given to causes, outcomes and potential future geo-political problems. The US, Australia, the UK but most of all Scandinavia and many parts of Europe are in decline. We are becoming weaker. The currant fashion for gender-bending is in my opinion partly driven by modern Western environmental pollutants. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2137123/ Therefore it will be imperative that this problem is tackled in the future if we are to continue as a society. We are a nutrient starved, sugar-fed, pill popping, over analysed society becoming more feeble every year. . Have you not noticed the pitch in the male voice (generally) has become higher when compared to say the 30's or 50's? I have. That is just one problem. There are many others, and one of the most insidious is the ideologically based ''liberal'' concepts about how the world ''should be'' We are obsessed with rights above and beyond whatever their impacts may be down the line. Humans are animals. They need structure in order to survive. But that structure has largely been abandoned. Anarchy is fashionable. Discipline has been removed entirely from schools - at least the kind of discipline which has an affect. Now students as young as five can tell their teachers to fuck off with no consequence. Kids don't walk to school anymore, they are wrapped in cotton wool and driven to and from school without the essential interaction (good and bad) which shapes character and instils resilience in people. The result is that we now have a generation (2?) of snowflakes which have no idea how to handle a threatening situation . We have 'safe spaces' at Universities. We have a generation of men which are terrified of talking to women should they say the wrong thing and be dragged across the coals for it. We have had several generations where life has been so easy that the real horrors of the past have been forgotten. History is hardly even taught in schools or universities anymore. I could go on and on. Lets hope we don't reach a situation where our defence forces end up respecting their enemies more than the people they are supposed to defend!
The rest of the world is not like us. For example Islam is strong and getting stronger. It rejects (at least a lot of it does) western values. It will always reject them. It is waiting and it has infinite patience. China is growing and gathering strength. Russia is not going anywhere. And meanwhile here we are. Pre-occupied with the weather getting a little warm lately, or weather we should let boys ware dresses or what the latest pill we should swallow might be.
The greatest civilizations in history displayed the kind of values and habits just before their downfall as the ones we are displaying right now.
