I mourn the loss of decorum

At one point, the society was functional and decorous. As we became dysfunctional, we used decorum as a veneer to hide the ugliness

Now it's mask off, and everyone from the beggar to the king speaks and behaves in a vulgar manner

It signals a further fall until we find grace once again

I have a theory.... but everyone is going to hate it.

Remember when people would catch Covid, and talk about brain fog?  Covid and flu, etc, apparently attack the brain as well as all the other things... and apparently the bits of the brain it normally attacks are the short-term memory area and the bit where empathy happens. 

Add on top of that the stress of higher prices of everything and political tensions, and pretty much everyone is having a rough time.
