Counter Culture

 I could be wrong, but it seems like we've had a movement towards a counter culture in the US since the 1950's.   I think you could say that it started with the advent of rock music and the fact that parents didn't like it.  During the 50's it looked like the guy in a leather jacket, with a hot rod, and a cigarette.  During the 60's is looked like hippies, those who experimented with LSD, and who protested the Vietnam War.  In the 70's we saw the excesses of the disco scene, punk rock, and the emergence of the homosexual activists.   

What's interesting to me is that at some point in the 70's and 80's what had been the counter culture was morphing into the dominant culture. At some point in the 90's Hip Hop culture was briefly counter cultural, until culture simply absorbed it as well.  We started to see thousands of identically dressed people who all acted the same who really believed that they were non conformist and a counter culture.   They must have missed the point when the trappings of the counter culture had been turned into a fashion statement.

Fast forward to the 2020's and all of a sudden the counter culture looks like people who want to get married, live on a farm, home school their kids, and dress well.    It looks like young women who choose to dress modestly.  It looks like people deciding to choose not to live the drugs, sex, and Rock and Roll lifestyle.  

It's kind of refreshing to see a counter culture that doesn't involve destructive behavior. 

It's Easier

 Instead of my documentation of the revelations coming out of Twitter, I'll simply point people to Wintery Knight's blog where he goes into quite a bit of detail, and provides links and quotes.  

He also has another excellent debate regarding the existence of God.  I suspect the no one here has the intellectual ability of those being debated, and certainly don't suspect that anyone here could demonstrate that any of the arguments made are false.

4 Arguments

 "It's not a person."

"It belongs to me."

"I can do with it as I please."

"The law is on my side."

 

Historically these 4 arguments have been used to justify two institutions.  Any guesses?

It's Alway's Strange When the Data Doesn't Support the Narrative

I'm interested in reading this when it comes out, because it seems that the research is suggesting that the current narrative might not actually be True.  

Discrimination and Oppression

It would appear that we're seeing the L's who are oppressing the T's.   

White terrorists

Strangely enough, this attack was blamed on "white supremacy" , and UVA chose to hide the identity of the attacker. 

Hypothetically...

 If a college professor claimed the following,

"white people are committed to being villians"

That Africans arrived in North America before white Europeans

"Whiteness is going to have an end date"

"We gotta take these muthafuckers out"

Should this professor be disciplined in any way?
