[QUOTE="Amor Fati, post: 88529, member: 1"] I want to point out also declining civic standards is also a symptom and not the underlying cause of what is driving all these changes in society. It’s probably easy to pin it all on ‘complex social engineering by the elites’ but what might be a controversial take here, while policy decisions have made an impact, haven’t these changes in society been mostly spear-headed by the masses themselves? Nowadays, aren’t the common people the avant-garde, producers and gatekeepers of modern culture? Post-war prosperity and the diminishing power and wealth of the aristocratic class lead to the collective underclass taking the reins, and society/culture simply followed suit. Of course I am saying this a peon myself but it is hard not to notice the lack of visibility of the nobility in modern society, whereas in the past they were responsible for shaping the culture and standards of civil society.
