Maybe the traditional "functioning of society" itself is flawed? When you're talking about human society, arguing for the status quo isn't necessarily a strong persuader.

For one thing, I would much rather live in a modern liberal society (where porn is legal) than any of the many repressive countries where porn is expressly forbidden.

Liberalism is based on the incorrect assumption that man has agency.

Regardless of whether or not man has agency, I'd still rather live in a liberal society!

We may have our problems, but it's better than goose-stepping in uniform, getting caned for sexual deviancy, being burned at the stake for heresy, etc.

(Also: life has got to be about more than lamenting the fate of some imagined "golden culture" that frankly never existed. Live a little!)

Thats great, but certain populations are being demonstrably soft-genocided in that their birth rates are below replacement level, and internet porn is a leading cause.

So, by deciding not to have children, people are guilty of "soft genocide"?

I've seen some crazy beliefs and weird moral systems on HN but this one takes the cake.
