Most of the bad ideas that came out of the 1960s are still around today. They did not disappear. In many ways, America did not survive the 1960s.

During the 1960s, “abnormal” (e.g., taking dangerous psychedelic drugs, having casual sex with multiple people) became “normal.”

The 1960s were unique in many ways. It was the first era in our history in which the gulf between parents and children widened dramatically.  

Few people are aware that the 1960s counterculture/hippie movement in America was “a Jewish construct.” In fact, the godfather of the 1960s American counterculture was probably the Jew, Paul Krassner (1932-2019), with his magazine “The Realist,” first published in 1958. Other top Jews in the American counterculture were: Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, Todd Gitlin, Herbert Aptheker, Allen Ginsberg, Phil Ochs, Ted Gold, Saul Alinsky, Stew Albert, Paul Goodman, William Kunstler, Saul Landau, Ram Dass, and a large number of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) members. The whole list would number 100 people — and I mean the key people, the leaders.
