I grew up in the 1960s and came to embrace the counterculture that opposed the Vietnam War and the establishment that seemed ok with shooting unarmed protesters. Now 74, I embrace what Jack Smith, reinforced today: the importance of the rule of law. Sadly, we are falling well short of that ideal.

I believe that is incorrect by the stats. The "Rage Against The Machine" generation are standing by their hatred of the machine and indeed going with the smash-everything counterculture.

About that RS counterculture piece. I keep thinking about this sentence: "The digital citizen, reared now by the swarm, is less capable of forming judgments rooted in a reality predicated on objectivity and facts, and more driven by animal passions."

There was a boi who grew up with gay uncles & counterculture fam, who learned about transgender people as a teen but didn't know gender is a spectrum, not a binary, & didn't have the language for their identity or know he had any options at all until age 51. It shouldn't take so long.
There was a closeted boy in 2003 who would play pretend to be male characters from cartoons. He found out it was possible to be a trans guy at 14 while watching a TLC special, but knew he couldn't tell anyone.
7 years later on his second attempt he came out, it shouldn’t take so long.

There was a closeted little girl in 2001, who wanted more than anything to get her ears pierced like all of her friends. She knew what a transsexual was, and was terrified people would find out she was one.
It took 16 more years and a suicide attempt for her to come out. It shouldn’t take so long.

“In the face of Trump’s wave of assaults, the counterculture as we have known it… has largely gone missing,” writes Jonathan Taplin. “The powerful moguls who run our media companies cower in fear of the regime.”

Ed Bereal, (1966-1974)
!["America: A Mercy Killing" mixed media including wood, metal, fabric, plastic, and paper with electric, kinetic, and pneumatic components
----- [from the Smithsonian American Art Museum] -----
Ed Bereal began creating this piece after he witnessed the military force used against civilian protestors during the 1965 Watts Uprising in Los Angeles. The sculpture served as a model set for a stage play that Bereal wrote parodying the workings of race, money, and politics in American life.
Assembled from toys and pop culture imagery, the work depicts monsters of capitalism on an upper stage. They use money, media, and violence to control the classes below them.
Prominent counterculture figures of the 1960s--from Jane Fonda to Muhammad Ali--appear on the sculpture's right side, while the ground in front of them is littered with activists' placards. The entire scene unfolds atop an American flag.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ewb37o2ftablnrgx3ma45l3b/bafkreia65gzzbqzhnwnh6w7fvw2bdb7wlo2jbs3jmcyrrvujglc447l2gi@jpeg)

Here we go—I do agree with this:
"Finding and building a new liberal counterculture will be a huge challenge, because the fact is, everyone sold out."
'Everyone' being the people with a modicum of power that we would normally look to in these types of situations.

Is this along the same line of thought that classified Manson & his followers as 'counterculture' in which it totally debases & broadens the original context & definition? Sort of like 'woke'? Shock & awe kind of thing? Still reading...still thinking...still emoting...
While this is an interesting piece, I don't classify Trump, Musk, white nationalism, etc as 'counterculture'. Counterculture is the antithesis of POWER. Does pedanticism remove context? These men have *always* had POWER as have their ideals. I'm not sure we're working from the same definition.

I find this article cynical dismissive, pedantic, interesting, provoking & debatable. And no, we're *not* working with the same definition of counterculture. I got to David Bowie—I'll read the rest later. But at least someone else is talking about it. I'd like to read more that isn't so...cynical.
