Modern Western culture has little in common with the pre-1960s West. The values which pertained in Western Europe up to the 1960s were based around the traditional family, with homosexuality and abortion being taboo and/ or illegal. This contrasts with the relatively recent obsession with the promotion of homosexuality, abortion, and transgenderism. Additionally, when the European Convention of Human Rights was written in 1950, capital punishment was considered consistent with human rights, though now it is not.
It was in the 1960s that Western countries began moving away from their traditional values and towards their present decadence. This entailed the cultural dominance of pop and rock music, and the decriminalisation of sodomy, abortion, pornography, and prostitution.

In the West, Jews have been at the forefront of making and promoting pornography and other degenerate media culture, and they are a pillar of the cultural left generally. Not coincidentally, the rise to political and cultural power of the Jews in the West, after increasing gradually throughout the twentieth century, surged after World War II, reaching a dominant position in the 1960s — exactly the period during which the dramatic changes alluded to above occurred throughout the West, and in addition saw the beginnings of replacement-level immigration of non-Europeans into the West, exemplified by the 1965 immigration law in the United States.
