Mod -80 -“this point is not really arguable by anyone who has a depth of understanding of Torah and our history.”
No one was arguing the point of “Niskatnu hadoros”
“(in this case to say that our matziv of immoral taivah and weakness is less than earlier generations)is a terrible darkness and could never have happened before our time of massive foolishness and CHUTZPA.”
If someone else would have posted this it would have been deleted. “Kol haposel b’momo posel.” Btw, it’s a gemorrah that says the yetzer hora for Giluy Aroyos is less than previous generations. The gemorrah says Chazal destroyed the yetzer hora for avodah zorah and tried to destroy the yetzer hora for Zenus, but the world including the animals stopped reproducing. So Chazal blinded it. It’s now weakened. How is it weakened? There is no more taivah for relatives. But this doesn’t mean that the rest of the taivah for non-relatives is just as strong or stronger. It could be in a weakened state, even though it exists. In Yehdah’s generation the Yetzer Hora for Arayos was greater than later generations.
