What happened to our culture?


While searching through the cable and streaming channels looking for something to watch---other than old movies I've seen many times---and as usual finding only nihilism, pornography, or sensationalism, I asked myself again what happened to our culture? I'm not advocating boring movies with homilies and cliches, enduring standards can often be absorbed by portraying human depravities. The English used to make movies from the novels of Scott, Thackery, Dickens, Trollope and Austin. And American's tried their hand at making movies from the novel's of Hawthorne, Melville, Twain, and Faulkner, and of course their was the populist John Wayne movies. But now it's only screenplays written by truly awful writers with no real understanding of the normative standards of Western history other than to attack what little they understand of Western standards.

And we see what this kind of Hollywood garbage has done to our young people who grew up with it. They sit around playing ultra violent video games, sending obscene selfies on their smart phones, smoking marijuana, going to socialist Bernie Sanders rally's, and whenever possible having sex, with either gender. What a heinous thing to do to a people? Why was this done to America?

Hollywood became an evil genius at destroying traditional Western culture and was very successful in promoting and establishing their own degenerate garbage culture in America---and getting very rich in the process. But saying “Hollywood” is really saying the producers of Hollywood, it is they who are most responsible for the nihilism, pornography, and sensationalism that has ruined American culture---although much blame has to go to those who let this happen to America.

Hollywood is dominated by people who either refuse or are unable to conform to the dominate culture---which was at least a watered-down Christian culture. They proceeded to tear down the traditional culture every chance they got, and since they dominated the media, they had many chances to do it. No wonder puritanical men arise feeling like gallant knights saving damsels in distress. The problem now is that the damsels have been so thoroughly indoctrinated by Hollywood that they don't even know they are in distress, at least not until they find that they have to enter a substance abuse treatment program---and even then Hollywood profits from the bad publicity.

Many of us are thoroughly sick of Hollywood/New York show-business, but things will probably become more corrupt and rotten. If in the future our country separates into a constitutionally valid ethnopluralism of ethnostates, equivalent to our present regions and states, where the rights of the states can be protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, chosens, and money grubbers by a light federalism---then Hollywood could be curbed. Hollywood and California could debauch themselves as they please, but may not be welcomed elsewhere.
