Any human-made system is bound to have both good and bad in it -- including all new propositions for replacing traditional systems. Humans aren't perfect and never will be. The problem is that the baby is too often thrown out with the bathwater. Specific criticisms of specific areas, however valid they may be, are almost imperceptably broadened, bit by bit, year by year, until they become categorical condemnations of "traditional society" ("the Man") in general, no longer in regard to any specific thing but as a generic reified abstraction to be combatted.
