The Breakdown of Society?

I would say so, yes:

When Paul Stanley Schmidt was stabbed to death in front of his 3-year-old daughter while standing outside a downtown Vancouver Starbucks on March 26, nobody stepped in to help. An onlooker sipped his coffee, while two bystanders filmed, one of them a TikToker who took a selfie video next to the dying man’s body.

David Haskell, an associate professor in the faculty of Liberal Arts at the Wilfred Laurier University, told The Epoch Times that this reaction is different from the so-called “bystander effect,” where individuals in a crowd freeze up because they think someone else will help the person in trouble, or because the situation is ambiguous and they’re not sure what to do.

“One of the things we might be seeing is what has been called the loss of ‘social capital,'” he said.

Social capital is a term in sociology that refers to the connectedness between people in society that allows it to function effectively. Haskell said the loss of social capital may be due to a breakdown of families, a loss of faith, or a weakened sense of community and trust.

 

I saw the video.

People just straight up did not care.

How much "social capital" and societal cohesion does one need to call 911? 

It is more than a loss of family values; it is a complete apathy to the human condition, self-absorption and an abandonment of human decency.

 

Speaking of which:

Canada’s increasingly enthusiastic embrace of euthanasia has received most of the attention lately, but the Dutch also continue to blaze a path to the lethal practice’s normalization. Here are the latest concerning statistics, as reported by DutchNews:

• Euthanasia killings rose by nearly 14.1 percent in 2022, totaling 8,720 deaths. That’s 5.1 percent of all deaths in the Netherlands. Since about half of deaths come from things such as accidents or sudden heart attacks, that means around 10 percent of deaths in which a patient was under medical care were from lethal jabs. The same percentage of USA deaths would total would be about 170,000 annually, or as many people as live in Ontario, California. (The USA totals about 3,400,000 deaths per year.)
• 115 mentally ill people were euthanized in the Netherlands (sometimes conjoined with consensual organ harvesting).
• 379 elderly couples received joint euthanasia. In the past, this has sometimes meant that one spouse was very ill and the other less debilitated but wanted to avoid the grief of widowhood.
• 288 people with dementia were euthanized. In the Netherlands, killing can be ordered ahead of time by filling out an advance directive.

The Dutch demonstrate that once killing becomes an acceptable means of eliminating suffering, the numbers of people who die by euthanasia steadily increases — as do the acceptable causes of suffering used to justify killing. Indeed, eventually, euthanasia will encompass the terminally ill, the chronically ill, people with disabilities, psychiatric patients, ill children, and disabled babies — ultimately leading to death on demand (as it has already come to in Germany, after that country’s highest court created a right to a “self-determined death“).

 

 

Don't upset the "special" people:

A trans-identified male who goes by Lilly, though his given name is William Whitworth, was arrested and charged after a police investigation in Colorado Springs revealed that the 19-year-old was responsible for "threats involving schools in Colorado Springs Academy District 20."

Whitworth faces charges of attempted murder after allegedly making threats against schools in Colorado Springs, Colo., according to local news.

The Elbert County Sheriff's Office charged Whitworth with two counts of a criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, criminal mischief, menacing, and interference with staff, faculty or students of educational institutions.

Whitworth is an alum of the school district and attended from 2014-16. Whitworth had attended Timberview Middle School in District 20, and an affidavit showed that this was the school Whitworth planned to target, for "no specific reason."

The investigation began after the sheriff's office was dispatched on March 31 due to a disturbance. 

Deputies spoke with someone at the door on that day, and learned that another individual inside was "very upset and punched holes inside the walls." Deputies, however, were not immediately allowed access to the residence. 

Once inside, however, deputies found signs that someone had been punching holes in walls, and had ripped doors off their hinges. The person who reported the disturbance was reportedly Whitworth's sister.

Deputies asked Whitworth if he had an intention of harming people at a school, and according to an affidavit, Whitworth indicated that this was the intention.

When asked why, Whitworth said "Why does anyone do it."

Whitworth, deputies noted, appeared to be drunk and made suicidal statements. Additional targets per Whitworth's manifesto were churches, and the planning had been ongoing for a month. Whitworth told officers that he had learned how to make a detonation device on YouTube.

Whitworth's manifesto had a list of school people and shooters with notes next to their names ...

The “Keeping 2SLGBTQI+ Communities Safe Act,” tabled this week by the NDP’s Kristyn Wong-Tam, would allow the provincial government to map out “2SLGBTQI+ community safety zones” in which most forms of public dissent would become criminalized.

“Offensive remarks,” would be banned, even if in writing. So would distribution of literature, as well as any gathering deemed to be “furthering the objectives of homophobia and transphobia.” Any contravention could net fines of up to $25,000, and a conviction under the section of the Criminal Code covering the causing of a “disturbance in or near a public place.”
