I think that's a good observation. The subversives weren't really high on their own supply, they were cynically manipulating. Now, however we've got a generation that accepts critical theory instead of critical thinking.
It feels like less people than ever are questioning authority, power, 'academics' unless the corporate press gives them the go-ahead with whatever buzz word label is the most evil this week applied. I'll take skeptics in my life, anything, just not these true believers. Why are so many people such conformists now?
Is it education? Social media? Maybe social media is the ultimate peer pressure?
