It's always been two steps Left, one step Right, two steps Left, one step Right. The healthy reaction never fully corrects for the harm.
The kids of the 60s never followed woke culture like todays white youth of middle class up do
Young people found yippies an anomaly
Today the left owns all the real estate institutions and it shows
Parents have to fight it and gen x and y don’t
We as boomers did down here and my kids are proof
What really got going more than anything in my boomer youth were sexual mores about getting laid and pot cut into booze consumption though both found their sail trim as folks aged
The pill and mores changed on sex insofar as female chastity no question of that
We’re facing the most leftist culture ever in western civ since Danton Robespierre and Marat
I think that the counterculture revolution was a reaction to the spiritual economy we as a species have been saddled with since when some humans began to think a little faster than other humans. The notion that one has to “pay” with pain for enlightenment, have a sacrifice tax imposed for goal attainment, subject oneself to sadistic impulses to feed the apparently chronically starving angelic hosts in order to improve one’s internal state, was rightfully rebelled against. This post won’t last more than 4 minutes. They wanted to change “the Work” from something that traumatized humans into ignorance, and then exploited that ignorance, to something that conferred actual freedom upon the mind.
I think it ridiculous to conflate the two. Just more anti-drug nonsense from someone who has never taken any of these drugs themselves. I hear this kind of stuff all the time from the anti-drug crowd, they attribute all the evil actions of serial killers and the like to drug use, when in actuality the vast majority of those committing deviant actions had nothing to do with drugs.
And there’s a vast difference between a drug like methamphetamine which can lead to psychosis and perhaps violent behavior, verses the so-called psychedelic drugs like LSD or mushrooms. The latter tend to make people more docile and adverse to any violent behavior. At most they just open up people’s minds to different perspectives of reality. You can’t just put all drugs into the same basket and then hold them responsible for all the evil and sick behavior in the world.
“ Most significantly, both take rationality and physical fact as limitations to freedom, impediments to be transcended, instead of appropriate cornerstones of political freedom itself.”
Ummmm….. No.
Peyote is just more entertaining than the NFL, TV, and most movies combined.
Ol’ Scott Beauchamp was born in the 1980s with a vivid imagination about what the ‘60s must have been like.
Which is more important to Democrats, pushing transgenderism or pushing socialism? The answer is self evident. What is a primary tactic from the Democrats playbook that aligns with transgenderism? It’s identity victimization and recruitment. That’s divide the population based on identity then make the appear and feel like victims. Of course, Democrats are the only one with the solution to victimization because Republicans are the aggressors that make the victims. If you buy into the entire victimization scheme, then you have only one viable solution presented by Democrats. Specifically, that is get rid of the aggressors. That’s eliminating Republicans.
The transgender revolution isn’t a revolution. It’s a very small percentage of the population that is now aligned with a much greater revolution for socialism. Some transgenders, like Richard Levine, have been given a seat at the table. He’s not a leader. He’s a token who follows orders of the real revolutionary leadership. The mass majority of transgenders are not even of an age of majority. They are foot soldiers in training. It’s very insidious. The leaders of the Democrat Party are taking advantage of minors for political purposes.
It’s a completely different issue to identify the cause of transgenderism. Many say it is a mental illness called Gender Dysphoria. Here’s the definition of dysphoria: A state of felling unwell or unhappy; a feeling of emotional and mental discomfort as a symptom of discontentment, restlessness, dissatisfaction, malaise, depression, anxiety or indifference.
That’s not the cause
There is significant evidence that the cause is a disruption or incomplete childhood development. To avoid writing a book, I will keep this point brief. Transgenders have the value and behavioral systems of two-year olds. They can physically and somewhat intellectually mature, but they are incapable of differentiating right from wrong, fact from fiction, truth from falsehood, and science from pseudoscience.
That defines the perfect foot soldier of a socialist revolution. Anyone stuck with incomplete maturation are ideally suited for manipulation. If you want to create more of them simply control their maturation. Push government daycare, preschool, and education. We are already seeing so-called educators pushing transgenderism without the approval of parents. It’s not a grand conspiracy theory. It’s quite accidental because the vast majority of educators in America lack the education and intellectual ability to formulate a conspiracy. They are just among the many useful idiots of the socialist revolution.
Acid is big trouble. Try peyote instead.
Some are compelled to believe they speak for others.
I’ve re-read this, and it’s just a hodgepodge of unconnected ideas leading to nowhere. He should be fired.
The author needs about 500 mikes of acid to get his brain straight.
Maryland Quayle said something to the effect of not everyone in the 60s did drugs and dropped out. And I can agree with that, I think it was maybe 25% were into the counterculture.
I see today that the grandchildren of that counter culture are coming home to roost.
Teachers did not encourage 6 year olds to get high
Gender confusion is pushed by authority figures and well funded activist organizations. It is not a cultural change but a well directed revolution targeting children.
