The counter “culture”

It seems to me the ” counter culture”, so called, consisted in the main in three shared attributes: drugs, alienation, and anger, often concealed, as today, by vicious pseudocomedy such as that of Stephen Colbert.

To state the obvious, this is not a culture in any meaningful sense of the word.  It is a collective and collectivist fit.

This last point is essential to grasp: the counter culture NEEDS Communism, or something like it, veiled with abusive and disingenuous language, because their whole enterprise rests, and has always rested on lies. Either they envelop the world in their lies, or they must be forced to admit the hard truth: their work, where not directly pernicious, as it on balance has been, has been irrelevant. No new, better world has emerged, at least not one which could not have been created more peacefully within our existing cultural framework.

Martin Luther King Jr. did not need the hippies, and when they started jumping on the Civil Rights bandwagon in the late 60’s and in the 1970’s, they set the cause of true equality back 40 years. We should be much farther by now. The polarizing and abusive rhetoric which got the worthless Obama elected should have been rejected by all as what it was: a calculated play on the sympathies of sentimental and thoughtless people, intended solely to support a bid by the radical Left for political power.
