Uh oh looks like someone's making a "you know what's wrong with society these days" argument again
>I feel like in today's society it's almost impossible, too much degeneracy is running rampant and societyThat's what every generation has thought, just remember, rock 'n roll is the devil, and before that it was saxophones and Rumbleseat.
>now it's all about consuming garbage that corporations, government, and media throw out thereI think it's largely the other way around nowadays, people (like yourself) seem to fear and loathe anything coming from big government or big corporations as if they are the bogeyman. Do you have any idea how much market share McDonald's is losing? It's not because of their menu, you can go in and get a kale smoothly if you so desire. It's because the big corporations that people have come to loath, sure a lot of the food there is still garbage but it's more the stigma towards it that's pushing people away. As far as the government goes it doesn't really produce anything you can consume… But I'm sure you just at the threw that in there for good measure to fly your anti-government colors. The media is more of a gray area… I mean most of the "garbage" people consume originates not from the media but from social media, not from any group or organization but just from people.
> there isn't hasn't been a community for a whileRemember what I said about social media? That is the community now. Not that there is anything sacred about community, community can be just as harmful as they can be helpful, they can be conforming and ostracizing. It's communities that form angry mobs and communities that the one witchhunts.
Sorry if I was a dick about that, but I have a vendetta against "you know what's wrong with society these days" arguments
anyways…
You have to keep in mind the people you're asking here, a lot of people around here come from abusive or otherwise just shitty families and probably don't put much stock into "family values"
I do recall having "family values" abused as an excuse to morally justify anything, like everything is forgivable because it's family. And most importantly FAMILY STICKS TOGETHER, had that one pushed on me quite a lot because they damn well knew that as soon as I got the opportunity to get up and walk away I wasn't coming back.
The thing is that parents get to choose whether they have children and how they treat them, children don't get to choose whether they have parents or how they get treated by them, and that's terribly unfair.
As for your question I think I'd make an awful father and I wouldn't wish that on any child.
>>16503Egotism will never fade away, so long as the self exists self-importance will as well, although I disagree that egotism is the source of love to begin with, I think it's more along the lines of world of mammals that require warmth and affection from others of our species.
