The media and the schools as monsters of destruction (from the archive)

Light comedies in the evening can relax me, but over the years television comedies have become so raunchy and obscene, even during family prime time, that they only make me angry. It is the conscious destruction of the traditional values of normal citizens that drives me crazy. 

Why do the popular media producers and the schools want to destroy traditional values? I think of Nietzsche's diagnosis of the metamorphosis of the will to power. First justice is demanded at the hands of those who hold power. Then freedom is demanded.  Next they demand equal rights largely to prevent competitors from growing power. And we now have the latter stages of this metamorphosis involving the total destruction of the values and the power of those who once held power. This is what happens with multiculturalism when different ethnic groups vie for power in a zero sum game where one ethnic group advances by the loss of another ethnic group, because human nature is kin and ethnic centered.

A more practical way to live is to affirm an ethnopluralism of different ethnic states and regions, protected internally and externally by a defensive federalism.  The U.S. Constitution could  informally or formally accommodate this with its separation of powers and states. That will allow the conscious affirmation of the traditions and values of distinctly different people. The media and the schools won't like it, but who cares, they are monsters of destruction.
