Agreed. Especially around the late 19th/ early 20th century. And based on development/ economy they were and still are in many areas.
So what's better than western secular liberalism in your opinion?
Everything is better than this.
Secular liberalism is a self defeating system that is based on a top down society. The state is the centre of society and all authority goes to the states including the first right on your children.
This ideology destroys human ties and bonds and pushes individualism and. Worshipping your desires (materialism).
This ‘philosophy’ has the teaching to maximalise individual happiness.
The result of this ideology is an increase in divorces and broken families. Men and Women delay or don’t want long term relationships for families. The result is a huge decrease in birth rates and a population decrease. It’s self defeating.
The result is loneliness and psychological problems of being isolated when getting older or old.
kids grow up with single mothers and are far more likely to drop out of school, a criminal or addicted to drugs.
This is also pushed by giving men all the financial responsibilities and women all rights without any responsibility or liability in marriages.
if men have financial commitments and responsibilities. What are the legal responsibilities of women? They don’t have any. This means divorces are far more likely and women get richer and richer and don’t need men anymore.
It’s a self defeating system. You can check all statistics.
How do the proponents try to ‘solve’ the population decrease to tackle economic decrease in secular liberal countries? The irony is that they have to get immigrants from traditional countries who have traditional family societies to try to solve the population decrease in secular liberal western countries.
It can’t even stand on its own and relies on traditional bottom up societies they try to criminalise.
That’s the whole contradiction in western secular liberalism. It’s a system to exploit the human being to serve the interests of a few.
every bottom up society is superior to a top down society where all authority goes to the state (secular liberalism).
