It's a hard line to walk. Civilization isn't dead and people aren't zombie cannibals, so in a sense the cries of alarm have been cries of wolf for the last two thousand years.
On the other hand, a bunch of stuff is legit awful. Maybe a good metric is: how do young people, who aren't anchored in the pasts the adults have, feel about it? It seems like, in this case, they feel bad. So maybe there's something to it this time.
