It’s easy to see prole drift in terms of dress, speech, and manners. All that is required to see how far things have degenerated is to look at an old video of life in an English town or an American railroad station. Things were imperfect in the past, of course, but at least they tried to inculcate some sense of dignity and decorum in public places while avoiding vulgarity.

Today, that is very much not the case, as I wrote about in my original article on prole drift.

Anyone can go to the airport and be utterly horrified by what they see, smell, and hear.

The decline is so immense and omnipresent as to be impossible to avoid knowing or thinking of, even if one does the “liberal” thing and swallows his disgust reflex while pretending that to be virtuous because of tolerance or some such synonym for civilization-wrecking apathy.
