I'm a burger and out Boomers tell me that the Vietnam War caused the protests and hippies but how does that explain similar things happening in varied places such as Mexico and France?

What caused this "New Left" to gain traction in the 1960s?
Hard mode: not the Vietnam War.
The soviets
This, same reason our institutions are filled with commies today
True. Soviet meddling. Even as back as pre-WWII they were planting subversives trying to derail American society. MLK's close friend was a gay commie that was getting orders from the kremlin to help agitate the US into going to war—just as an example.
The Spectacle, user. Blacks start marching for their “rights,” cameras catch ‘em in the act, they turn into political theater for suburban America, and white suburbanites go and monkey-see-monkey-do their way to forming (or should I say performing) the New Left. Thenceforward, political activism is a bunch of crackers pretending to be Rosa Parks, which was staged in the first place. It’s the illusion of progress, and we’re all casualties of its clownish romp across history.
Here we sit in 2019, and the fuckers are still burning bras.
That or
Good point. I know that LBJ and Nixon said they knew of evidence that the KGB infiltrated various institutions but I guess the US wasn't alone.
cowardice?
What would they be afraid of?
so jews?
lsd
No, Stalin purged most of the Jews and the rest got gulaged or repressed until they could dump them into Israel.
Underrated
>give women the vote
>society rapidly turns left toward feel-good high-status collapse
Literally everyone predicted this.
The short answer is cold war.
But the real question is: why the fuck CIA helped KGB to spreed left propaganda in USA?
I've been told that it was a reaction to the Cold War cultural conservatism that demanded conformity in fears of a communist uprising. Much like people are reactionary to the SJW libocracy we have now, so too did they react against the conservatism.
>US
Ford Foundation
>France
US staged a color revolution because we were pissed at De Gaulle for trying to leave NATO
>Mexico
Mexican intellectuals
it's a mystery allright
the US has always been left-wing, it's just that the Continental Left is more based on the Enlightenment and the Anglo-American Left in Evangelical Protestantism. Similar endpoints, but different roots.
The Ford Foundation spent $1B on today's money on Civil Rights activism. This was arranged because the US felt it had to "un-racist" itself to appeal to Third World allies in the Cold War.
Soviet psy-ops. The US gov't was shot through with communists from at least FDR's administration. The agitators that initiated the social unrest in the late 1950s into the 1960s were commie assets. The journalists who convinced America McCarthy was crazy were soviets assets.
What you are seeing is the final effects and outcome of a destabilization campaign started by a political enemy we defeated 30 years ago.
sauce?
Jews
I can't prove the bit about France but it fits the mold. We were heavily supporting French left-wing anti-Soviet intellectuals at the time.
Wrong. It was Jews who controlled both the capitalist west and the communist east. You boomers need to leave this board.
Wrong. Stalin purged some Jews that he didnt like but the majority of Soviet leadership were still Jewish. Stalin had laws put in place against anti-semitism.
Fuck off leaf. Real people are talking.
>memeflag
No one believes you kike.
That’s pretty interesting.
Capital appropriated its lefty denigrators (possibly also Soviet infiltrators?) to iron out its own wrinkles and contradictions. If you can’t beat ‘em, hire ‘em?
Yawn.
Muh kikes. Muh memeflags. Muh shills. Muh elders.
strong men, good times, weak men, bad times, etc...
This is how liberalism has always worked, the radicals are the janissaries for the elite. Even saying "capital does X" is accepting liberalism to some degree.
>I put muh infront of your argument haha btfo
Jidf.
It was Jews you retard.
Yeah, “Capital” is just my lazy catch-all. Probably sounds Marxist, but I didn’t intend it that way.
Incorrect. Even after Stalin's death the majority of Soviet leadership was ethnic Russian after the purges. Jews never regained a leading role in the USSR.
The only acceptable answer is the Jews. Anyone saying anything else is a shill.
You're wrong. The cold war was a complete fabrication. Jewry had wrested control of the globe after ww2.
It was the communist backlash for McCarthy hunting them down. They hid in the shadows worked on entertainment, won over the largest generation in their youth. Got them to do whatever they wanted with partying and then put subtle ideas into their heads that if they took over they could change the world. They could make things different. They could make it happen. They could force change to happen.
This.
Good times breed weak people. The people in the photo came of age at the peak of western prosperity. They could give things away to others because they had too much, it just never occurred to them to give it to the next generation.
Also I guess this is the new jidf tactic. Spam threads with boomer-tier replies which in no way represents the majority opinion of Jow Forums
You're the only one who can't see two and two.
Competing propaganda operations of the USA and the USSR. The USA needed an ideology which could counter Marxism and prevent the spread of class consciousness, but it also needed to be attractive to the young and angry masses of people so that it could actually gain support. So the USA created postmodernism and then exported it to universities and media production studios all around the world to create a distraction for these mass movements, while at the same time purging the Marxists and Marxist sympathizers. At the same time the USSR was obviously spreading Marxism everywhere it could, including within the US itself where it could sidestep attempts at censorship due to America's very lax free speech laws. This, in turn, helped to create the New Left as a way to integrate Western Marxism into postmodernism and fuze the movements together. Between the two, young people all over the world became quite radicalized (though obviously in very different ways with very different goals)
It's all very complicated and I don't understand it all myself.

>I've been told that it was a reaction to the Cold War cultural conservatism that demanded conformity
People have always preferred conformity though.
Kike because memeflag isn't an argument you monumentally fallacious brainlet.
It was Jews all the way. Think Bernie Sanders, arrested in 1963 for protesting for de-segregated housing at University of Chicago. Weather Underground? Jewish. The Yippies? Jewish. The Columbia University library takeover? Jews.
All Jews. I think even the students shot at Kent State College were Jewish communists. Bernie Sanders types. Saul Alinsky types.
Jews.
Columbia University protests of 1968
A photo of David Shapiro wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar in Columbia President Grayson L. Kirk's office was published in the media.[8] Mark Rudd announced that acting dean Henry S. Coleman would be held hostage until the group's demands were met.
Only two of the thirteen killed or wounded were jewish you dolt.
>The '50s, while prosperous, were a duller, uninspiring time that grated against many. Material plenty and stability ironically bred resentment and boredom.
>There was a brimming underground of Commies barely suppressed after WWII. Many of them helped inspire many of the Beatniks, who in turn inspired the Counterculture.
>The GI Generation built a culture meant to be modern, domesticated, peaceable and cosmopolitan. That their Boomer children reviled and sought to destroy out of a misunderstanding as to why it was made so.
>WASPs turned on themselves and sought to reform America into a social-gospel guided welfare paradise. Modern and free from those things the enemy (Der Nazis) had represented.
>The New Deal Coalition began to fracture along racial lines. Sentiments from which helped eventually to fuel the counterculture.
>Blacks, in spite of increasing material prosperity on their part, got uppity that they weren't equal, and joined the Jews, Commies, and a variety of WASPs to bring forth 'Justice' to America.
>Jews played their part, resenting the WASPs that had given them a seat on the table to screw over said WASPs for being stuffy Anglo-Saxon Christians...
>The Soviet Union and China fueled a variety of Leftist movements, which backwashed into the west gradually enough (Anti-Colonism, etc).
First generation raise from birth with TV.
Yes it is. There's a clear pattern of pro-Jewish memeflag posts and the incentive to hide your Israeli flag. Kys.
Some Jew will point out that only 90% of these names are Jewish. These are the Jews that incited the police brutality in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic Convention:
The Youth International Party, whose members were commonly called Yippies, was an American radically youth-oriented and countercultural revolutionary offshoot of the free speech and anti-war movements of the 1960s. It was founded on December 31, 1967.[1][2] They employed theatrical gestures, such as advancing a pig ("Pigasus the Immortal") as a candidate for President in 1968, to mock the social status quo.[3] They have been described as a highly theatrical, anti-authoritarian and anarchist youth movement of "symbolic politics"
Background
The Yippies had no formal membership or hierarchy. Abbie and Anita Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Nancy Kurshan, and Paul Krassner founded the Yippies (according to his own account, Krassner coined the name) at a meeting in the Hoffmans' New York apartment on December 31, 1967.[7] "If the press had created 'hippie,' could not we five hatch the 'yippie'?" Abbie Hoffman wrote.[4][8]
Other activists associated with the Yippies include Stew Albert,[9] Ed Rosenthal, Allen Ginsberg, Judy Gumbo,[10][11]Ed Sanders,[12] Robin Morgan,[13] Phil Ochs, Robert M. Ockene, William Kunstler, Jonah Raskin, Steve Conliff, Jerome Washington,[14]John Sinclair, Dana Beal,[15][16] Betty (Zaria) Andrew,[17][18] Matthew Landy Steen, Joanee Freedom, Danny Boyle,[19] Ben Masel,[20][21][22] Tom Forcade,[23][24] Paul Watson,[25] David Peel,[26] Wavy Gravy, Aron Kay,[27][28] Tuli Kupferberg,[29] Jill Johnston,[30] Daisy Deadhead,[31][32] Leatrice Urbanowicz,[33][34] Bob Fass,[35][36] Mayer Vishner,[37][38] John Murdock,[39] Alice Torbush,[40][41] Judy Lampe, Walli Leff,[42] Patrick K. Kroupa, Steve DeAngelo,[43] Dean Tuckerman,[40] Dennis Peron,[44] Jim Fouratt,[45] Steve Wessing,[22] John Penley,[46][47] and Brenton Lengel.

Subversive infiltration of counter culture groups and indoctrination with toxic ideological memes
All of the musicians were being pushed by jew owned labels, and half of them were jew themselves. The media was controlled by Jews.
Wrong. See
Yeah, and young Bob Dylan was helped by a non-Jewish trust fund communist who was running Columbia Records. And young Bob Dylan's girlfriend was the Italian daughter of communist organizers.
I'm not even convinced Dylan wrote his early protest anthems. I think they were just written for him by Communist Party USA members, aka fellow Jews.
Bob Dylan also publicly rejoiced when JFK was killed, probably because JFK didn't give Israel The A-Bomb
The Weather Underground Organization (WUO), commonly known as the Weather Underground, was a radical left-wing domestic terror group[2] active in the late 1960s and 1970s
SDS Convention, June 1969
At an SDS convention in Chicago on June 18, 1969, the National Office attempted to persuade unaffiliated delegates not to endorse a takeover of SDS by Progressive Labor who had packed the convention with their supporters.[12] At the beginning of the convention, two position papers were passed out by the National Office leadership, one a revised statement of Klonksy's RYM manifesto, the other called "You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows". The latter document outlined the position of the group that would become the Weathermen. It had been signed by Karen Ashley, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, John Jacobs, Jeff Jones, Gerry Long, Howie Machtinger, Jim Mellen, Terry Robbins, Mark Rudd, and Steve Tappis. The document called for creating a clandestine revolutionary party.
The most important task for us toward making the revolution, and the work our collectives should engage in, is the creation of a mass revolutionary movement, without which a clandestine revolutionary party will be impossible. A revolutionary mass movement is different from the traditional revisionist mass base of "sympathizers". Rather it is akin to the Red Guard in China, based on the full participation and involvement of masses of people in the practice of making revolution; a movement with a full willingness to participate in the violent and illegal struggle.

Who were frontmen for their Jewish masters.
>WW2 happens
>All of the guys go to war, see chaos and experience hell...
>Come home with PTSD and a drinking problem
>Mix that with a military attitude
>Be a shitty overly controlling parent with regimented aspects to every part of your childs life
>Beat the shit out of them when you are drunk and all kinds of psychotic behavior because of PTSD and alcoholism
>Kids rebel against order and militarized lifestyle and just want to chill and do what they want man
Boomers are just a product of shitty drunk ex military parents that had mental problems, it was all kept pretty quiet.
They all speak highly of their parents but get to know them a little more and ask about the dynamics of their home lives... not how how they feel about those dynamics, just the facts.
Was quite the redpill for me.
tl dr; its the boomers fault but its not the boomers fault
I love how these threads are always filled with people hoping for ANYTHING other than jews as an explanation, as if it seems forced and unsatisfying.
Jews just turbocharge degeneracy already taking hold, Codreanu "a society has the Jews it deserves" etc.
It was Mao. HE started the cultural revolution of the 60s. And that fuckin' Jerry Rubin.
that 20hour vietnam doco gave some pretty awesome insights into how fucked up the social structure was and still is in the us.
Soviet money and spies infiltrating hollywood, media, academia ...
this was a big factor
Obviously, many of these useful idiots did It for free and some even donated money to the USSR.

CIA Hippie Mind Control: Inside Laurel Canyon with Dave McGowan
Very insightful, empathetic comment.
It's more like they gravitate towards ideas that would better ensure their power and sustainability. Anything that basically asks "why are you living in my country?" is a no no.
