Postmodernism.
The philosophical idea that one can dispense with real space-time, replace it or edit it (in any way one chooses) and then act as the annunciator to the world's minds of what this new public/collective universe of truth is. One then issues orders as to what
1. people have to say they believe or don't believe
2. people have to do or not do
3. people have to agree to pay or agree to receive in payment.
All this is to be enforced onto slaves of this new infallible dictator of the new alternate universe of "higher truth" so the slaves can avoid punishment or tap into privileges, by following infallible commandments."
This is the form, of every collective, every religious or gangster tyranny that ever was--from the tribe and the thug in an alleyway pointing a gun at you and saying, "Your money or your life" and expecting to 'get away with' having you sign a blank check over to him so he can now decide what is real and what you will have to do about it, all the way up (or down) to the imperial president, commissar, tsar, mystic, king or emperor who is pulling the same deal on a national basis--only calling it "public interest lawmaking", "emergency leadership", "altruism", "pragmatism" or "playing god over someone else".
This collectivism is what our constitution was supposed to make impossible in this country. It's why the individual was to have life, liberty and the pursuit of priorities decided by him, to make him happy safeguarded, secured, protected by the use of governors employing force against collectivizers--criminals--of any potential variety.

I think it was the invention of the T.V Dinner!!! The Family was the nucleus of Society and when the TV dinner took the family from the dinner table to the living room , the fabric of life was torn !! Mr. Birdseye was in league with the devil!

the de-unification of the country... We should Americans first..But now, with immigration being porously guarded, we are being divided along racial lines that are that are thicker than the patriotism needed to keep this country on a clear path..Abortions on demand..Feminism, to the point of de-masculinity of the male.We are equal and different...Lowering standards of certain professions (firefighters 4 instance...) so that women's qualifications are lighter loads than a man's...
Going overboard with reverse discrimination...Forcing out a more academically qualified person in order to fulfill racial "quotas... The "End Times" are afoot...make sure your "Spiritual bags" are packed..

Failure to shift to educating in terms of 'data strategies' as opposed to rote memorization of data content. In a world of exploding data, there's no way for an eager student to keep up.

Hmm, property ownership or overpopulation. I guess without the former, there would not be the latter so I'll go with property. Greed, basically.
