Team America - World Police. Miranda Devine has a must read commentary about TAWP and all who criticise it.
The way it works is that those who build a culture, over 40 years or so, have a vested interest in maintaining it. So the old counter-culturalists become the conservatives, even though they still think they are progressives and deride as "conservative" those who disagree with them, though disagreeing is counter-cultural.
Then along comes a generation which has known nothing but the old "counter-culture" and feels oppressed by it, because there are so many rules now about how you should think, and to a fresh mind many are absurd. So you get the first signs of rebellion from the most independent-minded, and soon enough it builds into a tsunami that breaks down the old counter-culture and begins the process anew.
Read. The. Whole. Thing.
