Loos is very interesting in the current context, as he associated ornamentation with savagery, while many contemporary "civilizationists" (take this label with a massive grain of salt) associate modernism with the International style and a supposed erasure of culture in favor of "globalism" (while also couching their negative views of an encroaching other in much the same language as Loos).

Ironically, you can read it all as a sort of window dressing for a core of xenophobia, as that's the only thing consistent across the two.
