Sounds like you already made your analysis.
The smart thing to do would now be read an opposing viewpoint but if smart were of any value to you you wouldn't use buzzwords like degeneracy so Evola I guess? The Lauren Southern book?

>Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
This is a serious book about the struggle to maintain traditional values. By today's standards it's kinda hilarious because an example of inexcusable wickedness = putting on some amateur dramatics in a man's house while he's away, without trying to get his permission :)
But that's the first step on the slippery slope. And the book makes it clear, once you set foot on that path, sodomy in the streets is just a matter of time.
I'm joking, except not really.

>Anything by Theodore Dalrymple
Especially:
>Life at the Bottom
>Our culture, what's left of it
Dalrymple was a prison doctor for many years. He describes at first hand the hideous cost of unrestrained hedonism, so often called a "victimless crime".

Anything by William S. Burroughs, but Naked Lunch is probably a good place to start. His satire is not for the faint of heart, but it sorings from the heart of an indignated moralist.

>Western nations spend billions on public schooling for all, urged along by the public cry for Excellence. At the same time the society pounces on any show of superiority as elitism. The same nations deplore violence and sexual promiscuity among the young, but pornography and violence in films and books, shops and clubs, on television and the Internet, and in the lyrics of pop music cannot be suppressed, in the interests of “the free market of ideas.”

If you really want to go down a rabbit hole read Revolt Against the Modern World and Ride the Tiger by Julius Evola. You'll come out as either an esoteric pro-monarchy hypertraditionalist or be so disgusted by the occultist roots of the modern reactionary right that you no longer mind the left. Either way, you sort of win.
