The Sixties started with the Civil ...I was there. <br /><br />The Sixties started with the Civil Rights Movement and in many ways was political in nature. It was a minority of students and activists decrying a movement of the country toward totalitarianism. You could get beat up or shot, and if black hung. This aspect of the counterculture contained, wrongly I believe, elements of communism but generally was democratic. The word hippie was created by the press. Haight was a place where the Diggers handed out free food and shelter and you was a refuge for artists and alienated youth. Some nextgen beats from the North Shore joined in. People were completely leaving the system, a dangerous thing, the worst nightmare for the powers-that-be. Countless dollars and media time spent to demonize this type of political activism and to associate it with "hippies."<br /><br />Women were still receptacles. Many heard about free love and all that but, unfortunately, this never reached anywhere near the suburbs or middle-class males. It was strictly a tiny subculture unreachable by the majority of wannabes. Women's issues were not a priority. Your Midnight Cowboy article, spot on. <br /><br />Enter the drugs. LSD was pumped through the culture, through self-proclaimed gurus like Harvard's Leary and company. This was a major distraction, so they thought, away from the radical politics and a way to demonize certain individuals. All it did was to create a drug culture and a new market. Hence, the drug war. Haight and other major cities were then flooded with hard drugs, mafioso types and gangs. The Black Panthers, who were armed, were wiped out. Why? These were the dudes keeping out the hard drugs and establishing non-government social programs. <br /><br />The Women's Liberation blossomed in the wake of failed 60's idealism. By the mid-seventies the King and the Kennedys were dead, the Panthers were gone or in jail, and the anti-war movement unnecessary. The failure of the political activism went up in bong smoke, and cocaine cultures like disco emerged. Flower power turned into useless stoner culture. Out of the ashes feminists marched, disillusioned and angry. This movement failed, producing legions of angry males. It's more complicated than just feminism. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803646793315574963.post-39275354347313364342010-12-11T05:30:35.104+00:002010-12-11T05:30:35.104+00:00Feminism could be brought to a very quick and sudd...Feminism could be brought to a very quick and sudden death. War. If you look to the past war and conquest has bough abrupt cultural changes to all kinds of societies. At this point in time that seems impossible the West could succumb to an outright total conquest. But time can change things. In a long term historically outlook abrupt changes happen all the time. <br /><br />And speaking of war in the West women are constantly portrayed as willing to fight in combat of one sort or another. This does happen on very rare occasions but virtually all the real fighting is done by men. Its entertainment and its a total fantasy the way women are portrayed.<br /><br />In a real knock down drag-out fight most women will be completely unwilling to do the actual fighting. <br /><br />And one last thing, the worst thing about war can be loosing. In human history women have evolved to be very adaptable. Look to any conquered nation and you will see how fast women switch sides once that society is conquered. And the scorn they will have for the beaten broken men who fought for them.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803646793315574963.post-69849792991453526332010-03-16T08:58:29.906+00:002010-03-16T08:58:29.906+00:00I'm inclined to agree. When I wrote that artic...I'm inclined to agree. When I wrote that article, I was just starting off developing the Thesis. Now, I see that feminism is a tough shoot to uproot - tougher, certainly than I initially thought. It is like a weed in the garden - every time you pull it up, it grows again in another guise. The core problem is, social change is irreversible, because it is a complex, non-linear process. Feminism is like a geni in a bottle, once it was released in the late Sixties it became impossible to erase. Atop this, the core memes of Anglo culture are puritanical and inherently misandrist (that is the core of the Anglobitch Thesis) and this makes coherent anti-feminist action even harder to coordinate within the Anglosphere.<br /><br />I now see the position of the MRA movement in the Anglosphere as akin to that of the Confederacy in the American Civil War - as soldiers we are better and more motivated, but we are just crushed under superior numbers and resources. Alternatively, we can 'ready me a weapon, and head for Mexico' - leave the Anglosphere. That is the only remaining option, when a war is lost.Rookh Kshatriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970184074924214959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803646793315574963.post-56818540638580167612010-03-16T04:59:48.980+00:002010-03-16T04:59:48.980+00:00Dude, you're just as deluded as the hippies.
...Dude, you're just as deluded as the hippies.<br /><br />The rampant misandry of the 60s has only become more covert. The Flower Power generation is dying, but the damage has already been done.<br /><br />Women still view us with the same contempt as their feminazi predecessors and that shit ain't changing anytime soon. <br /><br />Plus, no matter what, just because the old guard is dying off doesn't mean the young guard won't rise to take their place.<br /><br />Just look at Feministing.org.<br /><br />These young female abortions are the future of feminisms and let me tell you, it is just as strong and powerful as before. Not as popular, no, but just as pervasive.<br /><br />The West is fucked, plain and simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803646793315574963.post-3457501308368455652008-10-15T06:19:00.000+01:002008-10-15T06:19:00.000+01:00"And when the Sixties die, Anglo feminism will per...<I>"And when the Sixties die, Anglo feminism will perish also."</I><BR/><BR/>Judging by the number of tender young feminist 'sprouts' that are presently pushing up, I wouldn't be TOO sure about that. . . <BR/><BR/>Not that feminism ain't gonna croak, BUT. . .<BR/><BR/>The process might be a tad more <I>gradual</I> than you appear to be suggesting.Fidelbogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11727779008823649682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803646793315574963.post-24211256644866713722008-09-29T00:32:00.000+01:002008-09-29T00:32:00.000+01:00Yeah, the Sixties suck.
