    Yes. In the 60s, sexual matters could be discussed openly. This is good for a society whose mind has collapsed into its pants. Did anybody "openly" discuss Dante? Solzhenitsyn? Aquinas? Could anyone "openly" tell you who Valentina Tereshkova is?

    Couldn't even show a clean, closed toilet on television. I'm only in my 60s and so much has changed in my lifetime.

    Am 65 and I still consider myself an aging hippie. I am shocked and can't explain how the pendulum swung from the extreme left to the right. How did my generation go from wanting to change the world into now wanting to buy it?

      Funny how the left has been in charge of culture for 80 years yet they're the first ones to complain about it.
      The left has done all this, the same people who complain about systemic oppression buy products made by slave labor.
      Bad people will always exist, but they would be nowhere without the left acting as enablers

      from a millennial perspective, y'all traded in material leftism for cultural leftism. cultural issues are important but a base of material politics is necessary to maintain a solidarity coalition of the working class

    A 1952 Dragnet YT video titled "The Big Seventeen" is about Los Angeles teenagers going crazy and violent because of drugs. Considering the year, I thought that was interesting.

    I was born in ‘71 and I like nudity and the end of gender and all the radical possibilities of the new generation. I emigrated from the US and realized years ago that most of the world is much more tolerant and free now than the US. However even I wonder why Americans feel the need to use profanity all. the. time. It’s unnecessary and gross in general. The prudery is a waste and so is the fury. The US is a very weird place when you move away or travel.

      I did not hear much profanity until I entered the 7th-grade of Junior High School. It seemed a lot more common on some parts of town.

      Just cause you like nudity does not mean it should be openly discussed. Sexual liberalism is the source of our culture’s problems nowadays.
