Elite colleges were established as Christian organizations. This helped to balance their elite power with an education in altruism. Over time, people stepped away from the church, as it became seen as an unneeded vestige from the past. Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth were the zeitgeist of the times (1970's). Breaking things is what we did. Building things and instilling values was a much more difficult task. The politicians couldn't be bothered with it and opened the flood gates to Asian immigrants, assuming that it would make their lives easier, but it only hurt the middle class who now had to compete with endless competition for resources. Parents, schools and churches struggled to care for the kids.
Over time, a new religion seeped into the schools and replaced Christianity in the background (an intentional change, made by the avowed Marxists). As Cynical Theories has noted, postmodernism is a fascist ideology. It replaced healthy skepticism with nihilistic cynicism. It weakened the resolve of the young and replaced a love of capitalism with a love for socialism. The enthusiastic quest for truth, handed down from the Enlightenment, was replaced by a cynical power grab, offered by the elites. Our liberal, Western culture was transformed into a Marxist power grab where everything is for sale and nothing matters.
Where Christianity has dissipated, capitalism took over as the ruling ideology. The markets replaced the people as the center of the economy as corruption took over the halls of power. In the midst of all this, a void opened in the hearts of children. Searching for meaning and purpose, the leftists offered the answer, Marxism. Now we are seeing the results of this evolution. Judge Duncan was shouted down by Woke Marxists. He symbolizes the past and their ideology is all about the future. It is about pinning one group against the other and hating on the past. We have a sick culture that needs a moral infusion, but few leaders are willing to offer it. They are afraid to promote Christianity over aggressive Woke Marxism.
It goes back further. The so-called “enlightenment” displaced ecumenical teaching for non-ecumenical teaching. The love of money is the root of all evil.
