I don't get how astrologers can be flat-earthers. Has there been a program addressing that?

Great segment of "Sixties"recall by Daniel and your own indirect participation via SUNY Buffalo "Sixties" veterans whom you encountered in the '80s. Lots of memories for me, both as an observer/antagonist up to May '70, then a sympathetic observer for a few months, and then a personal cultural revolution in Sept '70 which rendered me a participant, catching the last few years of the whole thing, very volatile in Berkeley where i was by then.

Ironic how Daniel picked Naomi Wolf as someone who was alienated from the left due to its gross cooperation with Operation "Pandemic." She ended up a trenchant supporter of RFK Jr, a VPAC hardliner (as is Wolf), espousing the idea that "we" drifted from God's commandments and are being punished for doing so, and an all-out Zionist backer of the Israeli genocide.

The transient nature of the "Sixties" was NOT the result of a Straussian generational shift, but of a state operation, the original COINTELPRO. Deliberate repression combined with cooptation of those who could be bought off, exhaustion, and an economic crackdown, making it very hard to survive outside the control system.
