I'm kind of confused what taboos, abstractions, political correctness have to do with a sad era. Pessimism and escapism- do we have evidence they are increased today compared to the 60s?

Remember the 50's? Too long ago. Anarchist bombings, shootings all over American, the world. Today is so much safer and saner than back then.

The irony is that your statement about violence is true of both the 50s and the present day.
