Have ordinary people become too weak these days?

How so? What's the solution?

Yes. The solution is state-sponsored programs to toughen people up, like physical fitness regimes. The alternative is to live in a more brutal world, where people toughen up out of necessity. And there is just no reason to go backwards into barbarism just because civilization has a coddling and infantalizing effect.
@Alyosha science based.

@Alyosha I'm not a hundred percent sure I agree with physical fitness regimes. Personally I think it's the whole culture and nambi pambi conditioning from both media and the government. It's like they are trying to make people soft.
@IUsedToBeHere people can find out what works, whether you get fitness out of a program. Not us! Evidence isn't interesting here! We agree or disagree with programs, we don't talk outcomes. I understand that's what's driving all politics and so people are dying. Whatever?!!

@IUsedToBeHere What else would you do? We've relied on individual responsibility, and this is the result.

@Alyosha Grow a community of accountability, not a hundred percent sure not gonna lie.
@Alyosha well, we're certainly not hoping for YOU, Americans or Westerners, to use evidence or aim at anything but chaos, war, rising inequality and more poverty. You don't even have a left in politics and you never showed any signs of resistance to the capitalist duopoly.
Evidence based politics, outcomes, these can't matter! Americans snidely know nothing about outcomes. Ever! Or root causes. Lolz! It's fun for them.
@IUsedToBeHere accountability goes along with finding what works, and doing those things. Accountability is leftist. Science based education, for example, was driven out of US education, decades ago, because the politics of evidence is so hated by every community.
