Basically everyone who's in their 40s, aka, everyone in managerial positions or is a dad, graduated highschool when America's education standing was at it's all time worst.

So if you wonder why the country seems like it's collapsing, it's because:

Trannies crying because their shitty parents abused them. And then arguing for non-nuclear family - shocker!

OP is interesting because he is a statue AVI nerd crying about civilisational decay.

HOWEVER he hasn't said dogwhistle shit like 'western civilisation'... The statue seems to be Budhha or something, and he's complaining about police state which could mean he's left leaning, or perhaps just libertarian but he didn't go on a tangent about wanting to fuck 14 year olds so it's very unclear.

If it's a troll post I'd give it 10/10

I never said your family sucked. Sounds like you had a big extended family and you all looked out for eachother in a bigger community, thats exactly what I'm advocating for.

Catholicism works, it helped my grandmother reach 84. It's not above reproach, but it is what it is.

The Buddha transitioned lots through his life. It's not about the end point. He started out reveling in pleasure. I'm not even saying to follow buhhda which is just really reformed, state backed monastically approved Hinduism. Again it sorta works, like Catholicism.

I feel like Bhudda himself realized we are all parts of something more, and we are all going to reach different endpoints individually, but on the whole we'll collectively reach a kind of enlightenment and we aren't entirely alone, that there is a higher self that feels and observes all these little journies and has their own discreet perspective encompassing all the life of this world. Is affected by our individual lives or our choices to not even engage with others. He doesn't tell us we are wrong, I don't think he's afraid for this higher self, just wants to help them, and help us reach them. I believe in the end he just realizes we'll be remembered or not remembered in the way that this works, so he sought to join us all together with himself on this path if we would accept and follow his teaching.

Bhudda set out to explore. Then teach. His goal I believe, making this journey easier, smoother, helping those resisting or attacking the universe or in conflict with themselves essentially find peace with the things they cannot change and empowering them to bring themselves into the whole. Even if that's just sitting under a tree in the woods with the tigers. In this way Bhudda teaches us how to attain oneness through ourselves and be at peace with each other and join him in enlightenment.

You'll see that my statue avatar is reclined, smiling with a slightly humorous curl of fingers on the scalp. This guy isn't super serious or worried about controlling everyone or making people believe him. Or people following his teaching absolutely precisely. He's content to share what he can and observe and learn. He already knows what is happening and where he's going and who he's becoming. Not because he's arrogant and set in his ways, unchanging, unflinching, controlling, but because he has the wisdom to have faith and trust his spirit. And the belief that others will join him in they're own way. And in so doing he will continue to grow, even after his mortal body is gone.

Bhudda through his journey and in sharing his journey gave us a measure of peace and connection to him. We are a part of Buddha and when we follow his teaching we are accepted.

Yeah, I talk shit, speculate share hard truths, but I make no demand that anyone following me, believe me, and I openly admit that my thoughts and ideas are tempered in the very sharing of them. There's no defacto, ultra perfect move here. I see suffering and I bring to the table what I can. Life experience, lessons learned. Faith. Visions. A way that could work, and probably needs others help to communicate. And grow into something more compassionate. It's not about vengeance, punishment, or controlling how people live.

It's about finding ways for people to live, and live better. And transcend what fear we share. And the disease and suffering we share in life as a whole being. There's a lot of ways to do that. I'm just lending voice to my ways, and a few other ways which have helped me reach this point despite my hardships and continue on. I find truth and inspiration in all things, temperance and understanding. To refuse the world and what it is, is to refuse life, refuse reality, truth, connection. Is to refuse ones self.

I'm true to myself. I accept myself. Even when I'm in conflict with myself. I try not to conflict with Bhudda and Jesus, even though I get it wrong sometimes yeah. Those are moments I can grow within. Learn to encompass. Understand and share.
