We are definitely in the Age of Decadence, it's just a question of how long until the collapse.

"Without an overarching guiding ideal or moral core, there exists widespread disorientation, confusion, and moral decay. The masses live empty and meaningless lives from which they seek relief by drowning themselves in base pleasures, developing addictions, and by adopting escapism as a way of life."

"People grow increasingly incapable of distinguishing between true and false, good and bad, right and wrong, and so they often choose what is life-denying and harmful. Beauty and genius are renounced in favor of banality, ugliness, and vulgarity. Virtues are seen as vices, and vices virtues. The process of individuation and pursuit of greatness is abandoned in favor of an apathetic conformity. And as a result, mental illness becomes the norm."

You know, some really smart people have dedicated their lives to exploring these concepts... Robert Nozick, for example. Anarchy, State, Utopia might help you. TLDR: There will always be government. Humans inherently organize in ways that iterate towards greater degrees of complexity.

I am a firm supporter of the US. Constitution and Bill of Rights. The 'Gov' i speak of has violated every possible word in these documents. The additions to these perfect set of laws should start with The automatic hanging of anyone that commits treason by attempting to break or change The Meaning of the Rights of The People. Which IS what they are ALL doing. Under this New Amendment our Gov. would protect Americans and Most of the current Congress would legally be hanged for treason.
