Many of those high-status hippies were ALREADY working for the government in the '50s and '60s, either as narks or as willing helpers for CIA and its tentacles. They didn't switch, they simply advanced in the ranks.

Very solid. Neil Young took his music off Spotify because of the presence of Joe Rogan (who I’ve never listen to). The old hippie radical has been coddled by his wealth unto intolerance.

This time though I think it is much more menacing; Gutenberg and moveable type face made the Vickers job obsolete but the tools available in this Digital age will not be thwarted.

We are lost. This new ethos as you point out is in all our institutions our children are being marinated in it, it will be a long march.
