And how we've regressed in so many ways because there's a sexual frankness, fury at capitalism, skepticism to outright contempt of institutions like the police in Pre Codes that would make most modern studio films take to their fainting couch. https://t.co/VUXrX27Rwq

Indeed. After the Great Depression, we took a huge step back culturally and from modernity and only began moving forward again in the late 1960s. Now, though, we’re rolling it all back again and mostly it’s the “liberals” doing so this time. They claim “protection from harm” but that’s just the very transparent excuse, the ascetic desire for destruction of pleasure and the denigration of anything beyond the pursuit of narrow neoliberal goals.
This is also closely related to their actions and reactions during the pandemic that is now destroying so many people.
