The Bleak Downward Spiral of American Youth
By Dr. Hossein Omidi, PhD.
Political, International and Cultural Expert
December 30, 2021
We continue to expound on the reality for youth in America that has contributed to their downward spiral in all areas of life. Today’s youth are plagued with so much violence, hate, fear, drug use, crime, immorality, and acceptance of norms that previously were not socially acceptable. What has changed in the world that has resulted in such devastation and destruction of young hearts, minds, and souls? There are many elements affecting the direction of American youth today. We will touch on some of the major causes of this downward spiral we see in the world and particularly in the so-called civilized Western societies.
Youth is the age of self-improvement, prosperity, and farsightedness and providence. Morality, spirituality, being God-seeking and God-fearing are the true characteristics of youth. Due to Nature (inheritance) and Nurture (upbringing), opportunities for material and spiritual development and human development of young people are increased or decreased. A sound heart is the origin and place of divine feelings and truth. Thus, the unhealthy contaminated heart leads man to ungodly materialistic thoughts and actions. Extensive Western epigenetic research shows how hereditary (genetic) and breeding (environmental) elements in everyone are constantly interacting to produce traits throughout life. This means that genes do not do things independently of the context and the environment in which they live. Rather, they behave according to the environmental conditions in which they find themselves. In simpler terms, epigenetics claims that it does not matter what your genes are, but what your genes do (in simpler terms, epigenetics claims that it does not matter what gene you have, but what your genes do is important). In other words, what genes do is greatly influenced by an environment that is constantly changing.
The family unit is the first and most basic construct of a civilized society. In the West, norms within the family have changed drastically. The moral fabric of the family unit as the foundation of society has crumbled. Children are born out of wedlock without the presence of two capable and supportive parents. Many are abandoned to their own destinies due to the inability of the single parent to endure the burdens of parental responsibilities alone. Many children are born from promiscuity that prevails in society. Sexual encounters between a younger and Godless generation give rise to unwanted pregnancies. These pregnancies result in millions of abortions and the infants that survive are destined to suffer rejection, abuse, neglect, poverty as parents turn to drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous behaviors as an escape. All these are symptoms of a morally crumbling society that lacks a faith, belief, or fear of God or in a Divine Being that stands to hold them accountable. Lack of accountability is the major cause of societal corruption.
The authenticity of only the basic features of man as a mere material being and the ignorance of the spiritual aspects of man, such as the transcendent truth of the soul and the celestial / spiritual creation of creatures that have a divine character, are indelible forms of such research. In fact, such studies have focused only on the human body without giving originality to its true divine spirit and psyche. Due to the emergence and prevalence, sometimes step by step and sometimes suddenly, the destructive non-divine culture of the West, especially the American Dream claimants and the Wild West heirs, over other genuine and non-genuine cultures, and traditions in all parts of the world, it is necessary to mention a few points in this regard.
In America and the West, many formally unaccepted behaviors and lifestyles are readily accepted now. From birth, youth are subjected to social norms are in opposition to their God-given intrinsic humanity, profoundly affecting their innocent souls. They experience unnatural behaviors in their own families that make no sense and fill them with fear and insecurities. The natural human inclination is wired to respond to such abnormalities with a fight or flight response. Fear is a natural biological response to dangerous or life-threatening environmental changes. It is the Divine command for parents to raise children with love, patience, compassion, and righteous authority that result in well-balanced, capable functioning individuals. As parents make excuses for all their destructive behaviors, children learn that they too can give in to inappropriate behaviors in dealing with their insecurities. They learn that to lie, steal and cheat are ways to get ahead and go around the obstacles in life. As they grow, they understand that there are also many concessions in society given those who commit crimes as a way out of accountability for crimes. The truly innocent ones usually end up incarcerated whereas the truly criminally minded ones end up free to continue their life of crimes, perpetuating the vicious cycle.
There is in America a frightening rise in violent crimes, murders, thefts, and senseless anti-social behaviors that is out of control. Criminals can thrive in America and many do. Many of them are the elites, the corporations, and the politicians who run the country at the whim of powerful ones. The ugly, vulgar, and degenerate norms of so-called Western democracies have shown themselves as the inferior face of evil and corruption at all levels. Indeed, No one is spared its poison! Young Americans are victims of the ism of corrupt ideology, which is based on a historical deviation and a wrong argument from a sick understanding of the truth of the creation of the divine man! The fire of ignorance and misguidance, oppression and crime, ignorance and cruelty will burn wet and dry and small and big together.
Violent crimes committed by young children have shaken the world, especially in America. All indications point to the acceptance of violent behaviors as normal. The idea that youth need proper guidance and emotional support to grow into stable, functioning adults has all but been discarded. Young people are acting out reckless, violent, and self-harming behaviors at a frightening scale in the United States and around the world as a result. Crime is rampant everywhere, and every instance is viewed as a reason to let loose of criminal tendencies. Let us consider some major topics of interest. There has been an increase in young people shooting peers at school, for no apparent reasons. These incidents lead to other copy-cat crimes surging as violence is given notoriety in the news. It is like a poison that spreads like a deadly virus into the minds of the vulnerable young populations unprepared to deal with such gravity of wrongdoing.
Everything from the government to the news and cinema all contribute to this standard of corruption portrayed as acceptable among certain circles. You can be white and privileged, rich, and influential to avoid legal punishment. Many even use the sincere protests against social injustice and police killings as an excuse to wreak havoc as they blend with the protesters to start riots, loot business, and destroy private and public property without accountability. As in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who came to a protest with an illegal automatic weapon, killed two men and injured another. He was acquitted of all crimes and walked free. All of this could have been prevented if the state and local authorities had resisted the rioting crowd earlier instead of letting it escalate out of control. What started as a peaceful protest turned into a haven for criminals. Businesses were burned, people were killed and everyone in America witness the real criminals walk free due to a biased judge and jury in the Rittenhouse murder trial. The governor of Wisconsin chose to allow the riots in the town of Kenosha rather than lose voters base. What a high price to pay for political power and momentary glory.
Man raises his hands as he flees from the rioters and fires that burned business in Kenosha, Wisconsin
The difference in how crimes are dealt with in America clearly reflect its foundations of white supremacy and systemic racism that prevails in all U.S. institutions. It used to be that Hollywood cinema was the entity that portrayed criminals as heroes if it perpetuated the superiority of the white man against his non-white victims. Now, the legal system is responding with the same message. If you are white and can justify your actions, no jury can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are guilty of any crimes, even if someone died unjustly. Many young white Americans carry guns openly and are ready to use them as vigilantes and fabrications of self-defense when committing crimes of gun violence. Many of these same youngsters also have access illegal to drugs and weapons. Children as young as elementary school age are exposed to drugs, homosexuality, and other criminal behaviors by their older peers on websites such as Tik-Tok, Instagram and other social media sites. These websites promote many of the deviant lifestyles accepted as the norm in America and the Western world.
The insurrection attempt of January 6, 2021, is a clear indication of the deterioration of law and order in the United States. People assume that if things don’t go the way they want, they can take matters into their own hands. The crowd of insurrectionists at the U.S. capital included people of all ages. From young to old, they assumed that the only way to correct an assumed wrong was to declare war against the establishment. Point and case in this example is that in America anything is an excuse for violence, disorder, chaos, and crime. It is established in the very Constitution of the United States that the people have a right to rise against government to defend their liberties and rights. However, this only applies to white people, certainly not to indigenous people and people of color such as Indians, Blacks and Hispanics. The minute they raise their voices, they are silenced and further oppressed. There is no longer a stigma to the term ‘criminal’ in America. There are the supremist, racist, mini-Hitlers, white national gangs deeply entrenched in gun violence, drugs, and crimes flagrantly under the flag of white nationalism. This is the example of what being an American means to many youth growing up with radical belief systems and without real authority or accountability. The youth are clearly the blood sacrifice of the evil system that will culminate in the demise of society in the west.
Many young people are exposed not only to pornography and illicit lifestyles on social media, but they also have easy access to illegal and dangerous drugs. There is an epidemic of deaths related to drug use in America. There have been over 100,000 drug overdose related deaths in one year in the U.S. alone. This is the highest number of deaths ever recorded in a year. The social media sites also lead young people to drug dealers in their areas increasing the danger of drug addiction and death exponentially. Criminals have fake profiles on sites like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat promoting illicit drugs and sex to young children and teens. Parents normally do not monitor their children’s activities online as it has become acceptable for children to spend countless hours on social media. These tech companies are not held liable for the dangers young people confront on their platforms, so they do nothing to prevent the proliferation of illegal drugs on their sites. The political leaders have not acted to eliminate this danger to the youth. Again, the wealthy high-tech companies claim a constitutional right to free speech and reject all forms of measure that prevent them from making financial profits. Financial profits are clearly more important than lives in western, capitalistic societies.
There is also in America and western society an increasing trend among youth to harm themselves and even commit suicide due to direct challenges on these sites. There is a growing tendency for young girls and boys to feel inferior according to the aesthetic standards promoted by these websites, making them feel hopeless and depressed. They measure their self-worth according to the deceptive measures on these sites that have generated an entire generation of depressed children and teens in America and other parts of the world. Children have lost the sense of reality of what is normal. Many do not know how to deal with criticism, rejection, and isolation. They grow tired of a hopeless life at a very young age. Many end their own lives due to the lack of guidance and support in dealing with everyday stresses in a materialistic and meaningless society. Children simply lack the emotional maturity and cognitive skills to deal with such distortions. Who will help?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), American society is suffering from diseases and degenerations that have the highest rates compared to other developed countries and are in a very deplorable state among other countries. Some of them are the widespread prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases and the rapid annual increase in the number of patients (half of whom are under 24 years old), high rates of drug costs and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, the highest adolescent pregnancy rate among developed countries, high rate of rapists, one-fifth of American women and children experience sexual assault, production of 90% of the world's pornographic content, having the lowest marriage rate in the world, the highest divorce rate in the world, highest single family rate in the world, very high number of illegitimate children of women under thirty, one-third of American children live with single parents, high abortion rates and sales (one-fifth are teenagers), high rate of rape among the military, high military suicide rate, the largest number of prisoners in the world, terrible statistics of alcohol and drug abuse, the highest cost of buying and consuming medicine regularly, the highest rate of prescribing antidepressants, highest rate of psychotropic drug use, terrible statistics of depression among children, the highest rate of illicit drug use in the world, increasing number of addicts and deaths due to heroin use, the highest number of criminal gangs and criminals in the world, increasing crime rates, computer game addiction, world number one child rape, prevalence of disbelief in religion, extreme prevalence of homosexuality and abortion, dramatic increase in atheists, disbelief in Heaven and Hell.
Lacking the proper attention and guidance at home, many turn to other young and misguided peers. Many times, parents do not handle their children’s concerns well either. They overreact or threaten without listening to their underlying problems. The case of the young boy in the U.S., Ethan Crumbley, shot and killed fellow students with a gun his own parents had bought for him as a Christmas gift. The boy had manifested serious emotional and mental distortions at school that same day prior to the killings. He was desperately drawing on paper and writing out his mental disturbances in a silent call for help. His teacher saw the drawings portraying a bullet and a person shot. His desperate cry for help as he wrote, ““The thoughts won’t stop. Help me. “My life is useless.” His teacher got concerned and called his parents in for a conference that morning. The parents failed to see their child’s cry for help knowing full well that he had a gun on him. They refused to get him psychological help or prevent him from carrying out the crimes. They allowed him to stay in school without reporting the gun to the school authorities. They also failed to hear their son’s cry for help in dealing with his emotional fear of what was going on in his mind. The school authorities also failed to protect the young teens that died that afternoon as Ethan later that day walked out of the bathroom and started killing his school mates indiscriminately. Clearly, the adults are failing the youth in America and in society.
Today, the world is captivated by the atheistic culture of the devils and mischiefs. The youth of the Western world are far from any moral or spiritual guidance. Nowhere in the world is such a phenomenon as evident as in the United States. The world of American youth is full of lack of identity and identity disorder and philosophical, existential, gender, etc. confusion, sexual debauchery and promiscuity, sexual perversions such as homosexuality, etc., gun violence, excessive use of drugs and alcohol, crime and delinquency in schools and universities, degeneration and corruption of the educational system, high rates of abortion and sexually transmitted diseases, children with single mothers and fathers, idolatry and modern material sanctification and compatibility with it, Satanism, and admission of sin and crime and betrayal as a norm. Such anomalous norms can be nothing but a reflection of a society devoid of human, moral and social values. The disintegration of the foundation of the family, which is the foundation of society, on the one hand, and the social and spiritual imbalance that has gripped the developed western countries, especially the United States, on the other hand, has reached such a critical stage that, God willing, the demise of their evil empires is inevitable. Yankee's epistemological, intellectual, and moral deviants, insane and morbid, have made generations so inconsistent and abnormal based on their evil thoughts that sooner or later, like the Soviet Union and other evil empires, we will see their inner decay and external collapse.
The youth are filled with fear, desperation, and hopelessness as they witness the social breakdown in their homes, their neighborhoods, and cities without understanding why. The basic fabric of society starting with the family structure is falling apart before their eyes without any moral, emotional, and spiritual support to resist the negativity and fear. There are young people who are aware of the dangers and many of them speak out in protest. When these mindful young people speak out, they are met with evil resistance and injustice. One such example took place in a Dallas school. Students had scheduled a walk-out in protest of a sexual assault that had taken place and was left unpunished by the school officials. Their parents knew of the walk-out and were lining up outside the school ready to pick up their youngsters who participated in the peaceful protest. Parents witnessed some of the children being tased and pepper sprayed by police who were called in to deal with some minor disruptions. Children were indiscriminately being violently arrested, tased, sprayed, and mishandled by police. The parents heard many children screaming and crying as the police were pushing the youth around. The school had various reports of sexual harassment and sexual assaults. The school authorities had ignored the reports and refused to deal with the disturbing trend in their school. That is why the mindful students decided to protest with a peaceful walk-out that day and had informed their parents and school authorities. Is it any wonder that youth in America are taking measures into their own hands after the adults that should be responsible lack the proper measures and actions to help them?
The United States is built on the corpses of its unfortunate Indians and Indigenous peoples, racial oppression, discrimination and racism, slavery, and the idealization of the greedy and ruthless liberal capitalist system. Many young Americans reflect the pathological distortion of the fact that they lack any morality, spirituality, or fear of the Most Holy Essence or any sacred being. All are victims of its corrupt ideology based on faulty human reasoning, not on God’s eternal truths. From the oldest to the youngest, no one is spared the despair and certain damnation prophesied for the end times.
The youth’s imagination become so distorted and perverted in American and Western society. It is the consequence of a people without a God and/or Godly principles. The crooked load does not reach the destination! The future of American youth is bleak. The problems of American society, especially the problems of their youth, are deeper and more frightening than one might think. It seems that no politician or non-divine social, cultural, or even economic reformer will be able to solve these problems. The ship of the United States of America has sunk. The moral decline and collapse of this demonic society has targeted the foundation of the political system of the Great Devil. This country is no longer a model for the world. Rather, moral corruption and degeneration have become so prevalent that the signs of moral decay can easily be seen in it.
The youth are not to blame for the infectious cancer in society spreading like a deadly virus in the United States of America. They are the victims of a failed government and a godless culture that promotes materialism over spiritualism. It is all part of the grand design of the wicked forces ruling the world to its own destruction. Sooner or later America will self-annihilate and be destroyed from within. Self-destruction seems to be the only possible outcome for American society as the youth are destroyed. Without healthy young people to build the future, entire cultures and societies are doomed to fail and come to a sudden end. The permanence of life symbolically rests with the youth in all cultures. It stands to reason that the societies that will fall first will first destroy their youth. Arrogance, materialism, and the quest for global power will be their downfall. God will clamor for revenge and the senseless destruction of the youth in the U.S. and the world. The youth received life from Him and to Him they will return in great mercy. As for the elites, the powers controlling the world systems all will crumble in the ashes of their own corruption and destruction. For they have forgotten, the children and all life belong to Him, and the Earth is His creation.
Life is a gift that will be taken away from the ingrates and those lacking respect for its sanctity. Let us all who fear the Creator, protect our youth who are the only future humanity has. May Allah grace us with wisdom, compassion, and greater understanding to avoid the demise of humanity as portrayed in the beautiful life of our young ones. Unless they receive divine guidance, they will repent and make amends. Do they not know that it is Allah who accepts the repentance of His servants and receives the charities, and that it is Allah who is the All-clement, the All-merciful? “Yet patience is graceful,” do not be in a hurry because “Man is a creature of haste. Soon I will show you, My signs. So do not ask Me to hasten.”
