The War Against Degeneracy

Let’s not sugarcoat it: modern culture is pushing teens and 20-year-olds into a lifestyle that kills potential.

Getting high every day, skipping class, disrespecting teachers, vaping your lungs out, treating failure like a badge of honor—is deemed as "cool" and for some people, the "norm".

This is what happens when society stops expecting anything great from its youth.

But there is a way to avoid this degenerate lifestyle: by building something meaningful, mastering a craft, becoming disciplined, and living with purpose.

That’s the new counterculture.

You can’t complain about life being unfair if you’re willingly throwing away your gifts.

Refuse to join the slow suicide of mediocrity.

Fight the war against degeneracy.
