It's not just in the last weeks that it appears civil societies are crumbling. 

But let's be real, this perceived decline in decency and dignity we afford to others ain't new, nor can we just blame it on social media. A few thoughts

i think one day i'm going to be able to put down my thoughts on porn culture, but, i think quitting porn is at least top two best decisions i've ever made. it's an insidious drug that leaves everyone worse off and unfortunately we're mostly hooked on it.

Reminds me of this video on goon culture: https://youtu.be/peGpMZFKm3o?si=uWHnPh_u5ZFyJuoz

Same premise: it’s an insidious drug which permeates all aspects of our culture.

damn, this was so good. the extension of the desire for immediacy that fuels porn to everything from social media feeds to memecoins is particularly apt.

reminds me of this essay i saw on twitter a few weeks ago. 

i think we may be cooked.

Humans are more resilient than we think.  We are adaptive to circumstance.

People are noticing our culture is objectively terrible.  People will start to change.  We can start with ourselves.

It’s the Brave New World-tinge of liberalism that you’re speaking to. And I agree with you.

got introduced to it pretty early unfortunately, took a long fight to get free. i really hate the people who are trying to present it as something normal and healthy today (looking at you liberals). i'll check out chris hedge's book.

i never got into porn (i reckon the more common target audience is men haha) but I certainly encountered some whose perception and ideas had been thoroughly warped by it - and so their ability to interact and have relations with real women. 

actually chris hedges chapter in his empire on illusions is great on this theme. (It's called About Love, think it was the 2nd chapter :)
