The PopCultural Revolution .....the beginning of an ERROR
Contemporary Wisdom's RUSE....red flag
Popular culture or pop culture is generally recognized
as a set of practices, beliefs, and objects that are dominant or
ubiquitous in a society at a given point in time.
Popular culture also
encompasses the activities and feelings produced as a result of
interaction with these dominant objects.
Heavily influenced by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society.
Therefore, popular culture has a way of influencing an individual's attitudes towards certain topics.[1] However, there are various ways to define pop culture.[2]
Because of this, popular culture is considered to be an empty
conceptual category, or something that can be defined in a variety of
conflicting ways by different people across different contexts.[3]
It is generally defined in contrast to other forms of culture such as mass culture, folk culture, working-class culture, or high culture and also through different theoretical perspectives such as psychoanalysis, structuralism, postmodernism,
and more.
The most common pop culture categories are: entertainment
(such as movies, music, television, and video games), sports, news (as
in people/places in news), politics, fashion/clothes, technology, and
slang.[4]
I thought "PopCultural Revolution" was something not only original thought, but unique.

What do The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, The Velvet Underground, and Woodstock have
in common? They were cultural symbols and products of the Sixties. The
Sixties gave birth to a popular culture in film and music that
reflected and influenced the decade's social upheavals: the rise of Cold War politics, civil rights movements, student protests, and the Vietnam war all profoundly affected American society and culture.

“Critical Theory,” writes Nelson Hultberg in Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America,
“was the first and most important of these strategies” as it was not
only critical to discrediting capitalism but also social conditions of
contemporary society and existing social institutions. Hultberg
explains, “Under its auspices, every tradition of Western life was to be
redefined as ‘prejudice’ and ‘perverse’. And these redefinition’s were
to be instilled into the social stream via devastating scholarly
criticisms of all values such as family, marriage, property,
individualism, patriotism, faith in God etc.”
Critical Theory precisely defines the
tactics used by progressives today as they attack Christianity,
capitalism, family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, loyalty,
and patriotism. It is this routine and consistent attack on any and all
foundations of our society in which liberalism has destroyed our
culture and advanced its totalitarian agenda. The left, no matter what
they call themselves today, breeds the ideology of totalitarianism as
every single proposed and forced through “reforms” serves to
reduce human personality to its most primitive levels and to extinguish
the highest, most complex, and “God-like” aspects of human
individuality. Even equality itself, while serving as a powerful appeal
to the masses with its great promises of “each according to his need”,
turns out to signify not equality of rights, of opportunities, and of
external conditions, but equality of complete uniformity in thought and
condition.
