This is just something that popped into my head and I wanted to ask the users about on saidit. I'll give you an example - There's this old footage on youtube that details a white only neighborhood back in the 50's and the uproar it causes when a black family moved in. The thought of it now is unimaginable.
Yes, a multitude of races should be able to live together but to give other examples - It seems that sex is much more normalized despite being censored for everything you say, kids tend to lack social skills because of social media and the never having really grown up without a phone in their hands. If you want to go into race - It being okay to beat down on whites in the name of "punching up". You can say whatever you want about a white person and you're protected. Music devolving to what can brainwash kids the most. Mumbling shit about drugs, sex, ect - all of it sounds the same (Not little artists but on the radio).
So, I'm wording this really - REALLY poorly. But the tl;dr version is - How can you keep the structure of a society without destroying the fundamental things that cause it to function well in the name of being progressive?
I know that gun crime was WAY high in the 90's, yet even looking back on home videos of other people, films, television / music videos - the world seemed so much more innocent then.
I come off like someone from Westboro baptist church haha - it's just that everything today seems bastardized and raw. Anything fucked up or deviant is allowed to pass through and seemingly NORMAL values are scolded.
