I didn't live in the 1950s, so I can't comment on what life was like in the 1950s.
which is really my point. we gauge life by what it was like when we were 10 years old.
You feel it's more degenerate now than when you were 10.
Your parents felt it was more degenerate then when they were 10.
kids that are 10 today use what it's like today as their future bass line for "things were nicer back in my day"
It really doesn't matter. You can pick one data point to support things are worse now. Or you can pick another that supports things are better now.
It's not a simple straight line scale. Each thing would need to be judged on it's own scale.
I find lynch mobs to be more degenerate. And there are fewer of them now. So things must be getting better.

The point I was making before, is that I partake in nothing that is degenerate these days, and from what I heard described from times in the past, I would fit in there much better.
