In the 60s, seeing the world through a leftist lens must have felt genuinely edgy and subversive, 68er kiddies might have even believed revolution was just around the corner and everything was going to be an endless communist orgy of free love and complete equality. no mom and no dad, no church, no stuffy old books, we'll just smoke dope and listen to rock music.

Leftists found unlikely allies in the corporate sector, the federal government, the military and the growing managerial bureaucracies. They all had a vested interest in getting their noses into people's lives. society needed a new ideology that could create social cohesion and push commodities, now that religion was universally considered old hat.

The left is no longer subversive but repressive. For better or worse, they no longer think much about achieving utopia, rebelling against consumerism and conformity or even 'sticking it to the man', its all about combating the omnipresent threat of bigotry and nazism, through consumerism and conformity of course. is far more In its decadence, leftism has begun to resemble christianity. I don't think today's panicky bourgeoisie leftists would be down with transgressive counterculture icons of the 60s and 70s, people like Burroughs, Zappa, R Crumb, Debord, Manson, Johnny Rotten ... far too problematic. thats why I find Baldwin so repulsive, cause I understand they are trying to feed me a decaffeinated Christ substitue. The heroic worker and the revolutionary have been replaced by the victim and the snivelling queer. Want to control people? drag them down to your level.

The leftists may keep the pretense of being subversive, but i doubt even they believe it, he guardian and the NYT may tell you Beyonce is more punk rock than any given set of white guys with guitars but they don't even believe it. subversion would mean going against the politically correct corporate monoculture of consumerism and conformity, and I think we can do it, that's why i think content creators like MDE/Sam Hyde, and psyops like pepe and the order of nine angles are so important, using the gestures of the counterculture against the left. most white kids are sick of this shit, they are aching for danger, rebellion, a sense of purpose, something sublime. Mom and Dad have supplanted by the progressive state and the shitlibs on disney owned outlets like vice, setting up the stage for an oedipal rebellion against unjustified pseudo parental authority. the rebellious 60s, the fascist 40s and 30s, the still pretty white eighties and ninetees, all equally verboten and off limits, dark ages. how about we mobilise those memories against the very globohomo machine that threatens to destroy them?
