We as a society coddled criminals, coddled degenerates, coddled weakness, and coddled all of the things that weaken society as a whole. Instead of calling them out and saying that perhaps they need to work on a few things we enabled them and made them feel "Special." It didn't help that we moved away from meritocracy and towards communism. Everyone gets a trophy, and everyone gets a prize. There are no losers anymore, simply winners and non winners. You can't expect a society to hold up like that forever....

Might is right.

Power is revered.

Victimhood is weakness.
