Stephen, a hint: when real men realise they have ridiculed someone unfairly, for example with shit like this:
Do you suffer from some version of, as my friend used to say, "post 1960's perception disorder"?
Actually, I'm one of those unlucky suckers who lived through the 60s and remembers it. It's a curse I tell ya, a curse.
Sorry to hear that! Although extremely hit or miss I'm sure, and I would have been in the wrong part of the country, there were some experiences to be jealous of. But plenty more that sucked too. Pain we had to go through.
So much revisionism. The media-driven Funhouse Mirror effect Roszak described worked quite well at shaping people's perception, even people who experienced it directly. It was crude then. They have much more sophisticated methods today
Seems like some of that repackaging and deflection has been uncovered. Too bad it took so long. So much turmoil, so much confusion. A lot of progress was made, but often fell short. We're still having echos, and they are, in many ways, finally winning over all of the waves of resistance. sdw
