Is there any good reason for continuing to use the word "decadence" to describe our problems? Given its history, its importance to postwar fascist philosophy, and its current use as a right wing dog whistle for a range of culturally progressive things such as trans rights, I'd think we'd be moving past it, or searching for an alternative language to talk about cultural/social decline.
