Yes when I was young I was rebellious against a government that lied about the need to be in Vietnam and the Red Peril. And yes I did drugs and partied with chicks.
Now I am old I have come to see that in these times it is not the government who is lying. It is the paranoid crazies who are lying. Times have changed AND I have changed having gained decades of knowledge and wisdom.
And I will not be irrelevant until the day that I die because I vote and I speak out. I do not tell anyone to shut up and do what the government says. I tell people to use their fucking brains and be critical of what they are being told -regardless of who is telling them something- and to break free of the cult like culture of misinformation and madness that has gripped this once great nation
