I'm not sure if you realize that the social change in the 1960s and since hasn't been a steep steady upwards line towards universal enlightenment, but is a wonky wobbly curve where some things get better, others get worse, reactionary thinking kicks in and some things backslide, perspectives shift, and overall a lot of things just stay exactly the same no matter how positive the wide-eyed idealists are that THIS is going to be the generation that really fixes everything.This is a nonsensical take even by your standards PO. You can't acknowledge there has been significant social change (and I did not imply a need for this to be positive) and then handwave it into actually being no change. "We have more in common with 1960 than we do a completely unrelated utopian society" is not a meaningful position to take. There is definitely more talk of change then there is change, but that's again a really simplistic and non meaningful take. Change happens, but it happens slowly rather than all at once. That's why there needs to be a concerted effort (even inter generational effort) to ensure it happens in the right direction. If you're looking for a single monumental change instantly reforming society, then you don't understand society. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
