The problem is a tidal wave of atheism, greed, selfishness, and impurity. The trend comes straight out of WWII, with an entire generation sent overseas to fornicate and steal and obsess about saving their own ass for 4-6 years. Their experiences gave birth to modernity in the late 1940's and provided the ready-made market for Playboy, divorce lawyers, and the Pill, all well entrenched by 1962.
This is largely true. Things that we in our decadent culture label as "innocent" (such as pin-up girls, condoms, etc.) were prevalent among the "greatest" generation. These paved the way to the things that Hermann names.

. Things that we in our decadent culture label as "innocent" are innocent only by comparison to the depths of depravity plumbed by our present culture. And they really weren't as innocent as legend would have them ... google up < WWII Nose Art >; you'll get pictures of paintings on combat aircraft that range from the patriotic to the pornographic (with some overlap between the two categories).

Read the autobiographies of men like Chuck Yeager, who are held up as hero's for our emulation. He was a heroic man, but his personal behavior was that of a man in moral turpitude.
