I think I was reacting in a knee-jerk reaction to something I took to
be a cliche.
Can you define what you really meant by "Weak morals weaken and strong
morals strengthen societies"?

A lot of my morals are based on the consequences of adopting a certain
moral stance. But other countries often have different political and
social arrangements, which help in understanding whether this moral
stance trully has the consequences that it is believed to have.
