Howl at the blind moon. Same as it ever was. Twenty years if this subsides they'll be teaching in counter culture classes to dead eyed students while touting it as some prime legacy of the people they had a hand in. Its why the brutal history should be taught starting in middle school.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ginsberg was a weird dude, but Howl is some powerful shit...
And having read it again right now, while in the throes of fascist takeover... I get it now. It makes sense to me now. I get the madness he's describing.
Edit: this line really struck me:
who burned cigarette holes in their arms protesting the narcotic tobacco haze of Capitalism,
I was about to just post the entire Moloch set, but unhinged posting about this is what c\hybridwarfare is for.
The brutal history of the evil Obama? Be careful, history books aren’t always truth.
Battle of Blair Mountain, Tulsa Race Massacre, Cincinnati Riots, Nativists attacks on the Irish, Gentleman's Riot, Bear River Massacre, The Burning of China Town, Seattle Riot...
You get my point by now, no?
I think I always got your point. But you totally missed mine.
Some of us got the joke
