4. And along with the hand wringing, there is pining for "the good old days"

Like, when porn was verboten but lynchings were wholesome entertinment.

The whole narrative is predicated upon the idea that "ooooh, things are sooo awful now, and getting WORSE!" except, theyre not.

Stupid, clearly misogynist slurs against the likes of Hillary Clinton are taken, totally without evidence, as evidence of the deleterious effects of "pornification".. Because, you know, all those many times that women were serious presidential contenders in the 1950s, (back when FILTH was CENSORED as it SHOULD BEEEEEEEE!!!!!!) or Secretary of State, you know, that never happened.

...


Meanwhile, society gets more progressive by every social yardstick. And violent crime is down. Free communication, including widespread availability of consenting adult erotica on the internet, hasn't led to the collapse of civilization or anything else- much to the chagrin of the bawling censorship babies, banging their plastic spoons on their high chairs, and shrieking into their porridge over their complete inability to tell the rest of us how to live our lives.
