We sound like our parents did 40 years ago. I can still remember when my mother found a Rolling Stones record in my bedroom among others. It was bedlam!
So I’m guessing your mother’s reaction to what I cited in #29 in the same manner would be what? Much the same? No better, no worse....equivalents?
My point is that while there may be somewhat similar response between us as oldsters and our parents as oldsters, the level of material CAUSING that response is infinitely worse. There’s no comparison on that aspect.
We have been so barraged by incrementalist hedonism, vulgarity, sexism, one-sided racism, hatred, envy, greed and anarchy that society is largely desensitized to the drastic level of devolution we are experiencing.
My mother once found out I called someone a bitch when I was 8-9 and she clocked me so hard it chipped a tooth. Today that bitch is apparently the half time show at the Super Bowl.
