Racists don't want segregation. They want separation.

This is why they ramble about "morality", and "the moral decline". Which is almost-always aimed at the immorality of women, not men.

.
If the men want to get married and have a family and American women do not, then maybe they have to go elsewhere to find women who want the same things they do.

Moral decline is across the board.

Moral decline of America, bankrupted, three wives, womanizer can become President.

Biggest drug problem was caused by the Medical Industrial Complex by over subscribing drugs to cater to the pharmaceutical industry.

The question is, why did things change in the first place? Did the laws actually change for moral reasons? Or was there something else?


If you accept the fact that governments NEVER act for moral reasons, and rather only act in the furtherance of the "national interests", then you'll realize why things are the way they are.


You need to understand, "Women's rights" was about all getting women to go to work, to grow the economy. And anti-racism efforts, was about building a "global world", of trade, tourism, etc. A government cannot legally-sanction racism against X,Y, and Z, while also being their main trading-partner.


The government will only change if it is in its economic-interests to change. Morality has nothing to do with anything.

I agree that moral decline is across the board. But I do agree with John Adams, you cannot have good men without good women. And you cannot have good women, without good men.


Both have been corrupted. Though I insist that women have been more-so than men. And the effects are more-severe if women are corrupt than men, since women are the primary care-takers of children.


How did this happen? Why did this happen? Is there any way to change it back?


The answer is complicated, but suffice to say, there is no way to change it back without bringing down the entire system.

And those men who look for foreign women, in their desperation to find a traditional wife, aren't solving anything. If their foreign wife doesn't herself become corrupt, their children surely will. Because it is the system that is corrupt, and it poisons everything.

When I see videos like this...I can't help but think. Do folks REALLY want things to go back to the way they were in the 50s?

DO THEY REMEMBER WHAT AMERICA WAS LIKE FOR MANY PEOPLE IN THE 50S?! Specifically, non-whites?

And women?

And the answer is, of course they do. That's exactly the time they are longing for--when women and non-whites had no power and no voice. You know, the good old days.

Meh, if they have a few kids maybe one or two will be ok. There are still decent families raising decent kids. It is much more difficult now but committed parents can home school, live in certain areas with like minded people, teach kids basic skills like cooking and using tools, use discipline in parenting, etc. Dad has to be a strong role model and willing to sacrifice for his family or it fails.
