Very true. I will say that I was in westlake park in the early nineties, thanks to Kirby Wilbur and KVI radio. My three daughters were with me, along with about 34oo others. We shut down Hillary’s health care gauntlet.
I told my daughters that they changed the course of American history that day more than a lifetime of voting would have done.
Could you provide some examples of nations and artists?
Thanks.
My understanding is that Western Civ since the mid-1700s has been more or less historically unique in having a consistent intellectual/artistic "anti-culture." This anti-culture or counter-culture has widened and deepened its influence, with occasional setbacks, to where it is today dominates the popular culture.
If there are other examples in history of such a phenomenon, I'd be grateful if they were pointed out.
If this is true (and I have often speculated the same concept as you have here), then should not there be a logical throwback against it eventually? I have often wondered why the younger generation has not rebelled against this hedonism which imprisons them.
Conservatism and Christianity are both counter-cultures to the current culture. If we could somehow get the youth to get on board as the anti-culture, then it might turnaround. Youth is a time of rebellion. It just might work.
Often wondered that myself. But the majority of young people keep patting themselves on the back for “speaking truth to power” when they hold the exact same views as those who ARE in power.
Illiterate electorate is the disease.
0bongo/piglousy/reid et al are symptoms.
pulbik skoolz just want to pump out ignorant obedient tax-paying drones. Simple.
