Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing.

Daily Debate #553: "Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Christopher Hitchens.

hi

You're here to defend tradition against modern marketing, yeah? Wrong move. Tradition that needs marketing to survive isn't tradition at all—it's just nostalgia dressed up for Instagram. Real traditions die when they should. Why fight it?

idk

Then let me be clear: you're arguing marketing saves traditions. But slapping a TikTok filter on something doesn't preserve it—it mutates it into whatever sells. Why would you want tradition commercialized into irrelevance?
