I’m afraid these days I have an immediately suspicious attitude to those kind of claims.
So many of these “the old ways were better” claims turn out to be made by/end up leading to people who use “the old ways” to mean “getting rid of all those people” and kinder, kirche, küche.
There’s just so much right-wing fuckery in the woo and woo-adjacent spaces.
It doesn’t help of course that many of the criticisms of the “mainstream” or “modern” ways are valid.
