It’s a totally weird reality distortion field effect where 60’s lefties wanting and working personal freedom/liberty and being able to stick-it-to-the-MAN have somehow been transformed into The Fascist Man of today.
It might seem weird, but it's not at all unexpected. The 60's lefties got POWER.
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
"Meet the new boss -- same as the old boss."
Indeed.
