Was the downfall of Western civilization the Church, the Renaissance, colonialism, or the French Revolution?

Answer 1

All revolutions from monarchy to "democracy", and the Industrial Revolution.

Overthrowing monarchy's because the democracies weren't/aren't much better, and only introduced more disorder, and more opportunities for corruption than ever.

The Industrial Revolution because it made people wage slaves, and instead of people working the land, everyone basically became a drone trained to perform one tiny slice of a task. Also, people are kept so perpetually busy that they are distracted from religion and other institutions that would maintain morals and ethics.

The decrease in self-reliance and sustainability, along with the degradation of morals and ethics, has been the greater part of the downfall of Western Society.
