Not just the Internet is behind this. The roots of this were laid long before then. Slowly at first. New ideas of ‘parenting’ were introduced. Vetted and approved by experts of course. Schoolwork progressively dumbed down. Family units slowly broken down. On and on it went. Careful social engineering. So slow as to be almost imperceptible.
And now the problem is only mounting and spawning further problems. Marriage Rates are at all time lows. Divorce Rates at all time highs.
Global Fertility Rates are plummeting.
Population pyramids are starting to invert. Lots more old people. Fewer and Fewer younger people. Which spells economic issues later on. (Which is a whole topic all on its own)
Sperm counts are dropping with each successive generation. Each generation less able to successfully procreate then the one before it.
Mental instability is on the rise. With an extremely small number of people even remotely qualified to treat them. (Please note. I’m not counting the leftist nut cases claiming to be psychologists and therapists.)
Gender issues. (Basically the negatives of the Feminist crap is rearing it’s head. Which are problems unlikely to go away any time soon.)
Suicide rates. Particularly among men and boys continue ticking up. Of particular concern is the fact that the number of young teens and boys doing it is climbing rather quickly.
The list goes on. Suffice to say we’ll be dealing with societal, social, cultural, and economic problems for decades to come.
The War doesn’t end with the fall Cabal. It’s simply closing one front of the war. The others remain open and in full swing.
Broken people generally speaking raise more broken people. And Society as it stands has gotten very good at breaking people.
It's the "Law of Unintended Consequences" at work here. Much like Communism or the Jim Jones cult, these crazy attempts to modify human behavior leave out one crucial thing in the basic thesis...and it's HUMAN NATURE itself.
At the core, humans are selfish, self-serving, not easily given to "the greater good," and all attempts to make us into something else have failed because of it. And they will CONTINUE to fail, because humans are what we are.
Better to embrace our innate characteristics -- you know, sort of like our Constitution describes? -- and prosper as a society, than to put millions of people into gulags or concentration camps or behind barbed wire in a vain attempt to change our behavior.
This is easy to fix. Ditch the smart phone, delete social media accounts.
