redpill me on ginsberg. Why was he so degenerate?

Who was the de Sade of the 20th century?

>In her 2002 book Heartbreak, Andrea Dworkin claimed Ginsberg had ulterior motives for allying with NAMBLA:
>[I]n 1982, newspapers reported in huge headlines that the Supreme Court had ruled child pornography illegal.
>I was thrilled.
>I knew Allen would not be.
>I did think he was a civil libertarian.
>But, in fact, he was a pedophile.
>He did not belong to the North American Man/Boy Love Association out of some mad, abstract conviction that its voice had to be heard.
>He meant it.
>I take this from what Allen said directly to me, not from some inference I made.
>He was exceptionally aggressive about his right to fuck children and his constant pursuit of underage boys.

Why did we glorify this group of writers? Everyone one of them was a fucking degenerate. They weren't "counter-culture," they were just perverts. None of them enlightened us to anything important, they just normalized depravity. Ginsberg was a pederast. Burroughs was a spoiled child who turned into a drug dealer and murderer. Perhaps worst of all, Kerouac was a chad. And why were three-quarters of the people involved in the movement seemingly in competition to see how much gay sex they could have?

I could excuse it all if the writing was any good, but it's not.

"On the day of the bar mitzvah in 1982, newspapers reported in huge headlines that the Supreme Court had ruled child pornography illegal. I was thrilled. I knew Allen would not be. I did think he was a civil libertarian. But, in fact, he was a pedophile. He did not belong to the North American Man/Boy Love Association out of some mad, abstract conviction that its voice had to be heard. He meant it. I take this from what Allen said directly to me, not from some inference I made. He was exceptionally aggressive about his right to fuck children and his constant pursuit of underage boys."

What do you think about this man?

Do you read Jewish writers?
