There would not be a new book printed about this topic if society had regressed as you described.
- p1necone 6y agoI'm pretty sure you could destroy a lot of the fabric of modern society and still have a publishing house and a printing company able to produce a few thousand copies of a book.
- Nasrudith 6y agoThousands of copies of a book is something quaint in our great grandfather's days. The distribution mechanisms are what make it eyeroll worthy. Really whenever you hear anyone talk about "the fabric of society" they are full of shit. Just like how theater, jazz, rock music, heavy metal, rap, interracial marriage, women voting, and gay marriage destroyed the fabric of society. Those ample precedents of being complete bullshit aside it is a stack of abstractions with no measures. It sounds like it means something but it doesn't - it is just mouth noises to manipulate your emotions.
