re: Did It All Start with the Hippies?

The flappers and womens lib movement started a few years after the fed reserve was created.

And will get downvotes for that, but if you can get women into the work force, you get more tax revenue and with their kids in public schools, no child would miss out on a globalist education. Just had to do it gradually transform society over several decades.

It started in earnest from the greatest generation WW2. What I mean is they went through some shite. And if you made it through and came back home it changed you.

Then it was time for peace and babies. And babies they had. And I think they looked at life a bit differently so that baby gen grew up with some radical college and other teachers.

And music changed. Protesting was ok. And it started a path that could not be changed. We got into Korea and the military had been gutted after WW2. And vets didn’t want to fight another war. And neither did their kids (who were kids during WW2).

And after that we did Viet Nam. And that generation knew all the horror from stories about WW2 as it was still fresh to them. So the left educated gen plus most people did not support wars any longer and it just grew. In the 70’s for example in Jax (big Navy city) there were signs “Dogs and Sailors keep off the grass”.

But to me it all started post WW2 when everyone wanted to live in peace here and that didn’t last long with Korea. Lots of memorials for WW2 still going on and fresh.

I sometimes wonder had McArthur stopped way shorter from China border then maybe they don’t send troops over border and we win. And that might have changed things. As it drug out parents didn’t want to send kids to fight in it. That was a part of it. But it was all the war events after WW2 that people drew likes and protests started to gain legs. And Nam just blew it all up.

Our country had largely turned back to the right in the 80s with Reagan. The worst thing you could be in that decade was a fig. Then the late 90s and early 00s showed up and being queer suddenly was cool. Then they started getting married and it went downhill even quicker as the mentally ill trans community started making inroads.

I think it was broadcast television that created the environment for growth of competing and divergent paths of societal issues.

I'll also add 24 hr news channels.

What I find interesting is the Hippie movement of the 60’s was anti government, but the hippie types today seem to be pro government, pro shot, believe everything the media and gov shoves down their throats.

that's b/c their side controls all the cultural institutions

Not like in the 60s when they were outsiders

the hippie movement was a CIA op
