In my last Op-ed, I tried to briefly lay out some thoughts on the excesses of capitalism, acknowledging the use of many and varying modifiers, such as runaway or crony, to suggest that perhaps capitalism might not be working for the majority of folks who live under it, as it once did.
There are many systems of government that aren't working well. By working well, I mean being able to provide steady food and shelter for one's family, being in a politically stable and relatively safe environment where people can choose to improve their situation. I found the following 2 articles very interesting in the contrast between production and consumption. https://www.pornographyfaq.com/where-is-most-pornography-produced/
I'm inclined to agree with much of your take on the downward trend in our culture, and even the negative impact allowed by capitalism. I'm a bit surprised though at the pessimistic tone of this and your earlier Op-Ed on capitalism. I agree that mediocrity and apathy have become the default attitudes for much of our society, but I'm going to believe that people can and will rise above. I guess that comes from my optimism and not from any evidence to support it. (Although I'm hearing about a rise in youth turning back to church and other encouraging signs.) Here's to positive thinking!
It’s important we keep speaking up about this I wrote about the current news about x users using grok ai to create CSAM id love if you could read and share it!

Shocking that we’ve prioritized the predation on boys of modern internet pornography and gaslit and darvo’d the boys into oblivion about it.
And we explain away the obvious results with all manner of bullshit.
