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

Feels like that need not be the case though? Like we made significant progress toward liberty while retaining class for the better part of the 1900s I think it's more coupled with speed of information. Reduction ends up being the only viable strategy and everything else goes https://warpcast.com/sdv.eth/0xb239d9b4

these kinds of takes can seem ahistorical. americans who were punished and killed under jim crow law probably didn't think there was a lot of decorum or class going around

You have to evaluate these things ceteris paribus Ofc some things have gotten better As a generalization though, there was a greater sense of propriety

When was the last time you believe there was genuine decorum and not decorum that was hiding brutishness?
