CMV: Our society is stagnating, and there’s no way to fix it.

Have you ever considered that the state of the modern world is not the product of your sins, it is the product and the image of your virtues?

You give the government more and more power and then you complain that it is too big to challenge.

You give man the power to control man and then you are shocked to discover that he does just that.

You claim you hate the gilded age of the so called "robber barons" when this was the age of the highest social mobility ever, where human lives were made longer and more enjoyable by technology, where real wages rose 60% over 30 years, and immigrants flocked to the united states to experience some of these "horrible conditions"

You say mans mind is impotent and he is a slave to his base nature, and then wonder why nobody is coming up with solutions.

You hold sacrifice and abnegation as the ideal and then wonder why the world is perishing.
