Government force can be part of the solution, but it still wouldn't address our genetic shortcomings. What happened was that when times were good, stable, and moral in the post war years, weak people got to enjoy upward mobility allowing them to procreate and pass on their weak genetics, but since weak genetics can only use civilization as a crutch to survive, those with such genetics start to become dysfunctional and break down when civilizational institutions like marriage, religion, family, and justice system start to collapse. Weak people's survival becomes harder and harder as civilization dissipates during tough times and we return to our primal and barbarian ways.
