Just in case many of you guys don't understand why it seems like the West gets inexplicably more leftist and degenerate with each decade

It all derives from the Enlightenment. This basic fact most reactionaries understand, but what the reactionary sphere doesn't yet understand (but we Propertarians do) are the more precise mechanisms underlying these sociological phenomena.

With the ascent of mobile capital and the rising bourgeoisie it powered, a reformation of the aristocracies had to occur, but the landed elite of the time suffered from a combination of an unwillingness to share power and an inability to cognitively delineate the emerging technologies in such a way as to codify them into law (this is the uniquely innovative space Propertarianism is operating in and is its sole raison d'être).

This led to an institutional 'gap', where sociological phenomena occur that are not coordinated and theft and fraud of opportunity costs are primed for execution (ancaps understand this principle when applied to currency manipulation, but it applies to any circumstance where theft of opportunity costs is concealed by what we call institutional conflation).

So, the path of least resistance was to overthrow the aristocracies and then justify it with post-hoc romanticism. The principle of the deceit, however, would have to be tolerated for centuries, lest the con be determined and an aristocratic reformation ensue. This principle of profiting from institutional gaps was the bread and butter of the Anglo ascent into expansionist commercial power, and such free-riding on cultural investments had to be tolerated by the ascendant bourgeoisie, as there was no longer a principled defense against it.

Everything was for 'the individual', and this had to cascade into further social degeneration. Traditional culture had to continue to be liquidated. The trauma the Industrial Revolution and corporate finance did to the aristocracies led to a tragedy of the commons in that space of cultural investments. Now, more and more people free-ride on restraint and what was known as 'moral decency'.
