A massive, silent cultural revolution has changed America

It happened without a Summer of Love, without Timothy Leary, without a groovy anthem or a shaggy new national look. In the past decade or so, there’s been a silent revolution in American culture, one at least as profound as the ’60s upheavals.

We’ve hardly taken notice of it, because it happened in people’s minds instead of in the streets, happened in ordinary people instead of in the elites and the punditocracy.

Compared to just a few years ago, we have a completely different set of ideas about what constitutes acceptable behavior. As Caitlyn Jenner puts it in her new reality show, “I’m the new normal.”

no it hasn’t - tell a lie often enough and loud enough and it will be believed

What caused all these changes?

Culture depends on worldview, and worldview depends on mode of thought.The disintegrated mode of thought has won the culture war against Christianity because of inability of Christianity to defend its mode of thought, moral rebellion by intellectuals and the masses, and gradual evolution. The disintegrated mode of thought produces postmodernism and secular humanism which produces libtardism.

Sorry Bruceena but its an abnormal freak show. Modern Americans know its a freak show but they like it because its entertainment. They throw morality out the window because it interferes with the fun entertainments. Its more fun to be entertained by the freakish lies than the steadfast truth’s. Hence our cultural rot but the bitter stench is the end result.

I miss the country of my youth..

That sounds all so familiar

1920

....Great technological advances were also made in the 1920s.
Inventions such as cars and radios improved the standard for the common man.
The economy experienced growth of 7 to 10 percent for six years of the 1920s.
Later, many of the economic procedures in the decade would lead to danger especially in the stock market. The nation's total income rose from $74.3 billion in 1923 to $89 billion in 1929.
However, the rewards of the "Coolidge Prosperity" of the 1920's were not shared evenly among all Americans.
In 1929, the top 0.1 percentages of Americans had a combined income equal to the bottom 42%.
That same top 0.1 percentages of Americans in 1929 controlled 34% of all savings, while 80% of Americans had no savings at all.
Wages increased at a rate one fourth as fast as productivity increased. As production costs fell quickly, wages rose slowly, and prices remained constant, the bulk benefit of the increased productivity went into corporate profits.
Also, everybody was buying on margin¡ a certain percentage for a share that would eventually gain or lose money more than paid for.
Millions had lost much money to pay off their debts and were unemployed. The Great Depression was the worst economic decline ever in U.S. history. It began in late 1929 and lasted about a decade

....However, the 1930s was a complete 180 degrees reversal from the 1920s.

You know, I just thought of something. Operating on people because they don’t “fit in” in this way is a method of sterilizing the people who don’t “fit in”, and the business culture is hurrying to fire anyone who doesn’t “fit in”. It no longer matters what you can contribute to society, or how well you do your job, only that you “fit in”. That is not a ticket to Capitalism, my friends! This is leading toward tyranny.

while the Left took control

I don't know if stopping it was even possible. The communists have always had world domination as their goal, and they are surpirsingly close to that today. One of the fre remaining bastions of liberty was the US, and it has always been the target for them.

We used to kill communists, now we give them tenure.

I long for the day of moral reckoning that is eventually going to smack this nation upside the head.

Brucie Jenner is only in it for the publicity and money. The reality show will gross him millions.

If he really believed he was a gurl he would have gotten his tools cut off too.

Young people are indoctrinated more by TV than school; unfortunately for libs, many of the replacements we’re trafficking here are either 7th century Muslims or Stone Age Incas - not very “enlightened” people...

[OldCountryBoy]

Call me a denier, but have been skeptical of these polls for a long time. Are these polls an attempt to form our opinion? I believe they are manipulated to do just that.

[yoe]

INSANITY and LUNACY is the “new normal” in the open sewer formally known as AMERICA.

Wooooh there fella, America is not the criminal here, she is the victim.....victim of a corrupt media, corrupt politicians, a corrupt education system that vilifies anything or anyone who tries to maintain our Constitution, lastly a nation of LAZY free loaders. If you haven't been fighting with fax, phone, or pen and American Flag in your yard etc.....you are part of the problem.

[Lorianne]

I disagree.
I cannot prove it but I don’t think people think that Jenner is “the new normal”.

People know what is normal and what is not. Even children know instinctively.

[goodnesswins]

I agree with you...people are just being polite FOR NOW...

[Lorianne]

Yep. It’s called manufactured consent. It’s part of the arsenal. That’s why it is so important to resist what is peddled on TV, movies, popular media. Even stuff that you think is OK or entertaining is indoctrinating.

I feel it is important to be insubordinate just on principle alone. Don’t go along with the crowd (any crowd) even if it seems perfectly innocent to do so.

[Lorianne]

There will be a backlash

[Tunehead54]

The love that dare not speaks its name is now the love that will not shut up.

Heck of a silent revolution.

Perfect. Perceptive, pithy and politically incorrect. Just so you know someone noticed.

And LOL, of course. ;-)

[ought-six]

I’ve said it before: America has become silly.

[curth]

No your not Bruce, you’re just an old man walking around in womens clothing. It’s been going on for years, but it still isn’t normal
