If not the military, than its the school systems.
The OP didnt go there but I will, most of the problems highlighted have been imported, what the Boomers gave us was apathy and a desire to bend over backwards in appeasement so we arent labelled intolerant or racist

Community service is a wonderful thing when done from the heart... when forced to do it though, it's involuntary servitude. Slavery.
There is only one way to "fix" society, and that is to empower people with the skills and tools and resources to be self-sufficient and independent. People who know how to take care of themselves, and have the skills and tools and other resources to take care of themselves, do take care of themselves and don't need or want government/corporate interference in their lives.
People who have the skills and tools and resources to be self-sufficient and independent appreciate and value all the things that go into that. Including valuing and appreciating themselves, which extends to others. And when people can take care of themselves and are secure and stable in their own lives, are usually very happy to help others when they need help, to give back to their communities in various ways without being FORCED to do so. And usually in far more effective and practical ways than those who would force servitude for their own benefit.
Power and control over others is the problem. Not the solution.
I agree. It IS slavery. I used to have to do stuff and i would intentionally screw it up because i didnt want to do it.

They taught me how to survive in a climate that progressively had less and less to offer the youth. I came from a poor background where illegal activity was rife just so people could make the old ends meet.

I saw the complete opposite growing up, racism and intolerance against minorities was the norm... I'm not even 30 yet. Imported my ass. I grew up in scummy Britain full of scummy Brits, non of what I speak of was imported.

I see this written alot on here. You frequently cite this as an example of the horrors of Islam. But could you tell me to what degree is it more evil for a Muslim to throw someone off a building, for any reason, vs doing so because the target is a homosexual? Also, what statistics do you have that would illustrate a high frequency of this occurrence not only in Muslim majority nation's, but in diaspora enclaves where integration with host laws could see these types of crimes occur, relative to any other typical citizens' choice to murder by throwing off a height??
Outside of a handful of ISIS incidents in Libya, Syria and possibly some footage I think I may have seen in Egypt, I personally have not noted any statistically relevant outbreaks of Muslims murdering people by way of throwing off heights, for any reasons let alone for being homosexual.
Now, homosexuals are battered daily in the USA and England. Some fatally succumb to their injuries. Do you have any legitimate statistical evid nce that there is a significantly higher rate of targeted murder of homosexuals by method of being thrown from a height in majority Muslim jurisdictions vs any other method of murdering homosexuals in non Muslim or sectarian jurisdictions??
I only ask because you , as well as a handful of others, regularly mention this type of crime when the topic of a Muslim anything is brought up in conversation. You are basically triggered to automatically defer to a pre programmed response, and frankly I am not even certain the lot of you are aware of it.

Having lived in a Muslim country for 6 years without issue and having many muslim friends I can tell you with some certainty that we dont want any part of it in the west.
In their minds they are in a club that is in everyway superior to those not in the club and as soon as they are a large enough voting block they will push for more islamisation, not out of anger or spite, just because they are so convinced of their moral superiority that they would see it as doing us a favour.
The LGBT community will not be tolerated, you can take that to the bank
