Great read - explains how those of us who were fortunate enough to grow up between the 1960s and 2010s experienced a rare reprieve from heavily enforced moral requirements. Now it's back...with a vengeance.

Great bit on how the implications of the word "controversial" in pop culture throughout this period perfectly exemplify what's occured.

Maybe it's rare because it results in what we're seeing. Maybe the 1960s-2010s were the thrill of jumping out of a plane without a parachute thinking we can fly, and now we're starting to realize not only we can't fly, we've just killed ourselves.

A vacuum cannot sustain itself. A truly moral society is a rare thing in history, but the absence of societal control never ends well. Odds are always in favor of things being much, much worse after that period of 'freedom.'

If you take it from the perspective of a degenerate pedo who dresses like a woman, it was absolutely this all encompassing and restricting. As any healthy society should be. For the average non-pedo? No it was about the freest society has ever been.

But you are correct, they weren't strong enough to hold onto their moral fiber when their kids started acting like hippies.
