We've been on a steady decline since napoleon if you really look at things from a historical perspective. However the internet really begun it's decline with the inauguration of obonobo. The USA is honestly the main proponent in this decline. Not saying Europe isn't any better but America are the ones promoting all this bullshit that's happened in modern times. Democracy always breeds infighting amongst groups hence why you begin to notice factionalism like left wing groups censoring out right wing people and right wing groups censoring out left wing people. Obviously this seems bad but it's practically inevitable.

The media constantly hounding on imageboards is another issue entirely but it's been really bad for imageboard culture in my opinion. What do you guys think about anime in imageboard culture?
