"What does it mean?" indeed.

One simply can't bandy about phrases like "the world is less moral than it used to be!" without causing a bit of arse-ache. You're probably frustrated with that sort of thing because whoever says it then spends 99% of their time justifying why what they're saying means "less moral" than actually delivering facts about the world to support it.

Trouble is, just delivering as much informed fact as possible rarely gets you any followers.
