Was watching the Timcast with Milo on and thought this point in particular deserved seperate discussion given not just recent but years of events.
The point Milo raised was that the ammendments in America can only work with a Christian society, the 2nd only works if you value life and the 1st only works in a society that regularly attends confession. He obviously has a bias but I want to expand that.
We can see that there's two aspects that is really damaging western society, constant attacks on Christianity and not really any other religion (Jew's get few but quickly slapped down by establishment) and a more individualistic view of the world.
For Democracy to work you need everyone to have a stake in it, everyone to share the same morality and everyone to want to improve their communities. On all fronts we've seen either a decrease or an abandonment of each of these values thanks to education policies, media and mass illegal immigration from conflicting cultures.
So the questions, can Democracy only exist in a fully Christian society, should the West no longer be a democracy and if so what system should take it's place, obviously not communism as no matter what that never works.
Correction: for democracy to work, you need every voter to have a stake in it. I don't believe giving every resident voting rights is a real criteria for democracy. Simply restrict voting rights to some desirable qualifications (no I don't want to argue about those qualifications right now).
I think we'd be fine if we had a stratified citizenry. It can just be two tiers. The ones with political power (voting rights) take on additional responsibility to help ensure they have skin in the game. The ones without political power should be kept very comfortable and sheltered so they leave the adults to run a nation.
Example: a lot of the people pushing crazy political shit now would probably be okay to chill if we just gave them a bunch of drugs and porn. They might take a handful of cash in exchange for castration as well.
Some of them would pay you.
