It's only gonna get worse. Whatever replaces it will shock, sicken, endanger, and terrorize you worse. Soon we'll yearn nostalgically for today, when it hadn't yet totally fallen apart and we still had hopes of retrieving it.
Journalism is a telling part of it, but still just a part. Termites have been going at the whole thing, the whole Western civilization edifice, for somewhat longer than 150 years. It's all one big, slow demolition, even though jerry-built additions are constantly being tacked onto the upper and lower floors alike.
Rome went rapidly downhill for a long, long time. Imagine falling out of an airplane and not hitting the ground for three hundred, four hundred years. But whereas Rome's most major adversaries were the ragged Germans of the time, the West is up against a far more formidable Half The Whole Rest of the World, but especially two distinct zones of it, which I need not name. So we won't last that long, but it's still going to be a very drawn-out, lightning-fast-yet-slo-mo crash. It'll outlast many or most of us.
Glad you're not 25?
