Not literature. Fuck off

>counterculture

There is a huge thread about this already. Go away.

>>17482198
I have a feeling that you will not like the answer, OP.

>>17482198
yes, right wing people

>>17482198
Esotericism is only counter culture left. It already filters normans because those books require effort for reading.

>>17482221
where?

>>17482198
Counter culture never goes away, most people just write it off as "kids these days," and if you are not a part of it you have to actively look for it. Hippies were not all that counter cultural, started that way but grew rapidly to the point of just being cultural.

>I am the counter-culture to the society which has been built by and built to accommodate my ideology

>>17482299
you're 'counterculture' if you get ostracized or thrown in jail. this applies to people on the far left and right but being a nazi probably more transgressive than being an anarchist extremist or whatever

Why people want to claim this particular title I don't know. rapists and pedophiles are also 'counterculture' lol

>>17482299
>to the society which has been built by and built to accommodate my ideology
cope more, cuck

>>17482198
yes. ANTIFA.

BLM is the lefts continuation of the negrification of America.

I mean, maybe culturally society has been drifting from Christian humanism to secular humanism, but if thats "counterculture", its very boring and stagnant. We've already been there, man, right-wing ideas won in the past, why should we return to what we've already done instead of finding something new to become? Otherwise we get stagnant, static, man. I want to be surprised by the future

>>17482335
There is no surprise in the future unless you're an idiot. We're going down a very shitty road and the clowns are at the wheel.

Being anti-political, being reactionary (left or right), spirituality/religion. There aren’t really any strong movements right now but I imagine eventually that will change and something will bring people back together again

>>17482358
There's no surprise in the past, either
Anyway the current "social justice" movements won't last that much longer, like any movement, & so hopefully itll be replaced by something neat rather than just same old same old

>>17482299
it was built by them but it aint anymore for them
considering the last 70-80 years of "progress"

>>17482299
there are things i believe or would like to openly discuss that i simply cannot say without social and institutional punishment, therefore i am countercultural. this is not a good thing, obviously.

also, the term 'countercultural' is invariably used in constructing historical narratives. this or that supposedly countercultural movement and event. the media story. unfortunately things don't work like that, counterculture won't be published without having independent powerbases and there are none.

>>17482198
Counterculture is retarded and hippies were scum. Why would you want counterculture?

>>17482335
>you are losing a war on this front why don't you just give up and try doing something else completely unrelated

>>17482418
the general concept is that counterculture is just an alternative to whatever the current dominant culture is, it doesn't have to be hippies again

>>17482421
Exactly! Wars are so last century

>>17482418
Because I'm bored. Look around you, everything's overdone. Nobody has anything to say. Empty gibbering madness, rote dogmas, stale arguments. Anyone who's interesting is driven underground, but most seem to be alcoholics + shitposters

>>17482454
thank god with got biden to revive the tradition

>>17482428
i know it doesn't have to be hippies counterculture in general is braindead in the first place

>>17482472
We just need a new word for it, that's all

>>17482198
The closest thing to counterculture remaining is dirtbag left podcasts

>>17482472
so you can't grasp the idea that all people in a society aren't going to fit into the same ideology even under the most extreme propaganda and repression?

>>17482470
Unironically, I just want a fucking CIB.
