The teachings of the Gita show us that moral duty is something maintained typically by force and action.
The problem is modern people’s obsession with freedom. Humans are “naturally” (without any moral/spiritual inclination) egotistical and therefore evil. Giving freedom to behave this way is the issue.
The hard truth is to tell people is that their values of freedom & selfish individualism are ultimately the issue and in opposition to a moral healthy society. The Gita tells us duty is the highest calling, not freedom.
