Huh. That's a good definition of it.

Most people who say seem to mean race mixing or gays or women wearing jeans or something.

Ironically the people who say such things are what I would call degenerates.

I don't think we did recently, but the old Right Wing Discussion Discord was full of them until they were all banned on the Day of the Sam.

That's not even wrong.

Khosrow II: "Hello, Maurice?"
Phocas: "Maurice broke."
Khosrow II: "Unacceptable, prepare to be destroyed."

This theme is also strong in Henry James Coleridge’s account of Ormus in his life of the Navarrese missionary, St Francis Xavier, who visited Ormus on his way to Japan:

“Its moral state was enormously and infamously bad. It was the home of the foulest sensuality, and of all the most corrupted forms of every religion in the East. The Christians were as bad as the rest in the extreme license of their lives. There were few priests, but they were a disgrace to their name.
The Arabs and the Persians had introduced and made common the most detestable forms of vice. Ormuz was said to be a Babel for its confusion of tongues, and for its moral abominations to match the cities of the Plain. A lawful marriage was a rare exception. Foreigners, soldiers and merchants, threw off all restraint in the indulgence of their passions ... Avarice was made a science: it was studied and practiced, not for gain, but for its own sake, and for the pleasure of cheating. Evil had become good, and it was thought good trade to break promises and think nothing of engagements ..."[32]

The Byzantines were not moral degenerates, but they were political degenerates of the lowest order.

Surely the Kingdom of Hormuz deserves an honorable mention?
