Conservative Counter-Culture

[ScreamingEagle]

Guerilla street art in the form of 'Sub Par' posters is appearing around LA...

No one is claiming responsibility for this gutsy guerilla art project, and with a very good reason: in the heart of a Democrat-run city financed by Hollywood studios, any artist engaging in such "counter-progressive" activities would do well to remain anonymous.

In spite of the self-righteous promotion of tolerance and diversity by the "progressive" elites, they themselves tend to rule with a humorless iron fist of religious zealots, intolerant of any deviation from the dogma (unless the Party dogma transmogrifies; then you're expected to transmogrify with it). And there's hardly a deadlier sin in their bible than mocking a "progressive" deity, one of whom unquestionably is Barack Obama.

A Stalin-like intolerance of all dissent and religious worship of "progressive" icons is most rampant in such strongholds of progressivism as news media, academia, and especially the arts. An artist who refuses to conform and rebels against the "progressive" establishment gets immediately blacklisted, subjected to a witch hunt, shunned by his colleagues, and ultimately loses any chance of further employment in the industry.

.....

The palpable irony of today's historical moment is that the formerly cool, underground iconoclasts of the Left are now the oppressive, stodgy establishment. The tables have been turned by the invisible hand of historical necessity, but not in a revolution that Marxists had planned.


Today's truly rebellious, free-thinking, edgy and cool, counter-culture anti-establishment movement is entirely on the right of the political spectrum. The Left may try to obfuscate this reality, attempting to paint the Right as agents of the oppressive state, but in the end the truth always wins. It happened everywhere the Left held the power, and it will happen in America, too.
