what if CIA didnt do project Woodstock, project Hippie, project acid and cocaine, and didnt fund psychological programs that created mass hysteria? Would USA be more stable like Japan or would still be a country where porn, extreme music, individualism and violence is seen as part of the daily life?
>>18536021As long as the atheist worldview is the spirit of the age you will still have trannies and various degeneracies
No, because Western degeneracy comes from Western liberalism which allows basically unrestricted Capitalism, where Asia never went through a Liberalist phase and is still dominated by Confucianist/Legalist political and social ideology where Capitalism is subservient to Confucianist/Legalist values and norms which value the collective, filial piety and the State.Under liberalism, the market is the ultimate form of individual freedom and democratic expression, thus basically anything Capitalist deems worthy as a market, unless it causes just like insane violent public outrage, gets a green light.Do not think for one second the Western elite wouldn't have a problem with selling babies into prostitution if they thought they could get away with it.

>>18536021>Would USA be more stable like Japan>like Japan >or would still be a country where porn, extreme music, individualism and violence is seen as part of the daily life?>porn Are you a retard, OP? Porn is normalized in Japan since the 1600s, in fact the censored gentials in Japanese porn today stem from the Americans' censorship laws after WWII. The Japs are not Abrahamic and don't care about sexual shaming like that.
>>18536069Worldwide or in the US? It has always been mainstream in the United States as an independent country because it was founded as a liberal society on liberal ideas stemming from longstanding English legal and philosophical tradition (Locke, the Magna Carta, the 1688 Bill of Rights, the English Civil Wars, etc...) Colonial America was dominated by urban middle class merchants who were drawn to these ideas and whose worldview was justified by its framework.

>>18536021Boomers be like>"The CIA are why I fried my brain on LSD and caught the clap a dozen times after fucking teenaged runaways or something"
>>18536477It’s normalized but japan has a much stricter culture. Japanese are not at all individualistic like in the US or in the West more globally, they have a lot of familial and professional bonds that are treated like moral duties.
>>18536021A lot of people on the left and right use the 1960s as a reference point for widespread social changes, but I think that's an ideological illusion which has distorted their perception of reality. There's probably a bigger leap between the American culture of the 1800s and the 1950s than the 1950s to the 2020s. What the 1960s had was political movements, desegregation and Vietnam War protests. But the fundamental cultural changes had already occurred and characterized the 1950s (the civil rights movement also started in the 1950s, and also for a political movement to find expression and take off requires social changes to have already been underway for some time). I think the real break occurred earlier in the 20th century.Like, "mass hysteria"? (You mean mass culture.) That existed at this point. There was just less variety of consumer brands / options to choose from. Hollywood slop? Existed since the 1920s:https://youtu.be/85se1vCri78Weird psychological stuff? Americans in the 1950s were obsessed with psychotherapy, which had been an interest among intellectuals and artists since at least the 1920s. (Freud developed his theories around the turn of the century.) This is 1950s sci-fi:https://youtu.be/f2BYyeS-fIUDrugs? One of the first blockbuster mass-market psychoactive drugs hit the market:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meprobamate
Also superheroes, low-brow action, violence was expressed in pulp stories that date to the 1890s. Conan the Barbarian which most people know from the 1980s movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger was created in 1932 (by a pretty interesting guy from rural Texas).https://youtu.be/VthVRrv0ahEA lot of interesting stuff from that period.
Last thing for now, but if there's an overarching theme for Robert E. Howard it's probably radical individualism. Conan isn't really what an ancient barbarian would be like, he's a mythological character invented by a guy from Texas and he expressed his values through that character. That was during an oil boom produced by the demand for petroleum at the time in which a lot of wild guys were traveling through that part of the state. That has more in common with Easy Rider which is one of the most famous 1960s-values movies (also highly recognizable if you've ever hung out with bikers in Texas):https://youtu.be/egMWlD3fLJ8
