To be fair, the US has been on a moral and health decline for decades since its 1980s peak. In 1986 the US congress passed a legislation exempting vaccine manufacturers from liability and it all went downhill from there. Today autism is running rampant in the US, health has gone down the toilet, people have forsaken religion, became gays and lesbians and weaklings smoking pot, mental illness is out of control. Today's Americans are weaklings and cowards. They no match for Iran.
Brother,
It sounds like you’ve fallen into a ‘conspiracy trap,’ and I would encourage you to look at the data more objectively. While the U.S. is certainly facing significant health and social challenges, your theories regarding vaccines and religion don’t hold up under scrutiny.
The decline in public health is not a ‘moral’ failure; it is a
metabolic and environmental one.
The real culprit isn't a 1986 legislation; it’s the industrialization of food. The massive surge in highly processed sugars, antibiotics in livestock, and chemical preservatives (like cured meats) has led to an explosion of obesity, gut dysbiosis, and chronic inflammation. This is a biological reality, not a religious one. Even rich Arabs are fat today (despite sticking to their traditional more healthy diet a lot more than their western counterparts).
Modernity has traded physical movement for digital consumption. When a population shifts from manual labour, dancing, swimming, and outdoor sports to sitting in front of screens and machines, their physical ‘warrior’ capacity naturally diminishes. This isn't unique to America—you see the exact same trend in the cities of Pakistan versus the villages. Hard environments produce hard people; comfort produces fragility.
What you call 'weakness' is often the byproduct of becoming a highly 'civilized' society. As societies develop, they often move away from aggressive ultranationalism and toward a desire for peace and co-existence. This isn't 'cowardice', but it’s a shift in priorities from conquest to quality of life.
Regarding autism and mental illness, the numbers are 'rampant' largely because we have become better at diagnosing and recognizing them, not necessarily because they didn't exist in the 'peak' 1980s.
