description: The values that built the west have been forgotten. Instead millennials have been raised to hold hedonism above all. Whatever feels good goes. Freedoms and rights are things for legislators and judges to conjure out of thin air not precious traditions forged in the crucible of history. Most millennials reject the nuclear family and the religious values that our culture was built on because they resemble some sort of unenlightened old world of responsibility and duty that millennials want no part in.In short squaring the truth about the West with the twisted values theyve been brought up to swallow without complaint is not something that will be comfortable for many millennials. But I think that if not now eventually most of them will take the plunge. Because deep down I think we know that what weve done is not empowering. Abandoning all guidance of our past and embracing hedonism and subjectivity was not some genius idea. Dismissing the guidance built for us over thousands and thousands of years in the form of gender roles traditional lifestyles hard work objectivity and cultural supremacy was in fact painfully stupid.Because really what have we got to show for it? Nothing but infinite license to put who and what we want in our bodies while our freedoms to speak to think to dream and to build get more limited every day. Weve decided to fall backwards off the shoulders of giants and that fall probably feels good until you realize theres going to be a splat at the end.So with the ground of reality rushing up at them more and more young people are clawing for anything to stop their feelings of personal ethical political intellectual and artistic failure. And the rotted timber of progressivism is increasingly failing to break their fall. So eventually they turn elsewhere.And so a steadily increasing number of millennials are finally beginning to wake up to the choice we face as a civilization and to the value theyve so long overlooked in traditional standards of morality and beauty. They are is modern culture really so great if it means we substitute Meghan Trainor for Mozart Emma Sulkowicz for Da Vinci or Bell Hooks for Plato? Is it really such a step forward that our civilization which once shed both blood and ink debating Martin Luthers 95 Theses is now reduced to considering theses like VICE Magazines Dear Straight Its Time to Start Putting Things In Your Butt? Is this all there is or can we do better?No it isnt and yes we can and must do better. Sure itll be hard for us to dig ourselves out of the pit that the left-wing indoctrination and media machines has dug for everyone our age. But its work worth doing. Because right now the world is on fire. And while my generation didnt start the fire with apologies to Billy Joel I believe we have a chance to contain it or even put it out.But first we have to expose the frauds liars idiots and above all barbarians who threw gas on it. So without further ado lets get to naming those names.
