[Chapter 6 text begins:] The Fifties Generation was bordered by the World War II Generation and the Sixties Generation, and it partook of qualities of both of those generations. Some conformed to and followed the WWII Generation mentality and some others, a lesser number, were radically individualistic free-thinkers and social experimenters; they would be forerunners to the generation succeeding them, the Sixties Generation. Enter the Beats This generation is exemplified by “the Beats” (beatniks); activists such as Jerry Rubin, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, and Abbie Hoffman; political figures, such as Bernie Sanders, Jerry Brown, and Joe Biden; and literary figures such as Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, and Lucien Carr. These free-thinking sorts were cast alongside the pervasive conforming mindset of the Fifties, which was embraced by the great majority of that generation. Yet this dual nature of the Fifties Generation was an influential template in creating the stark division that we see in America as the Culture War, today. Interestingly, the supreme American standout from that generation — Elvis Presley — would come down nicely on both… 6. FIFTIES GENERATION, MARIJUANA, AND CAFFEINE Page 89

6. FIFTIES GENERATION, MARIJUANA, AND CAFFEINE Page 89 “The Sixties Generation — also called the Vietnam Generation and the Baby-Boomers — would make a complete break with the dominant culture. They would create a counterculture. They would redefine everything; they would seek to start everything over again, in view of the corruption and conformity they discovered all around them in the form of the establishment.”

“...the materialism the Fifties Generation members were nurtured in after World War II — as a reaction to the fear and uncertainties their parents had because of the Depression, the war, and The Bomb — would be replicated in their children.” 8. CASTLES IN THE SKY ... COCAINE AND BOOZE Page 113

8. CASTLES IN THE SKY ... COCAINE AND BOOZE Page 113 “The Fifties Generation have kept themselves as invisible as possible but running things from behind the screen, since they took over conservatism and greed from the WWII Generation and upped the ante. Witness the Koch Brothers — Charles and David Koch, born 1935 and 1940 respectively — both of whom are Fifties Gen members. Indeed, Fifties Generation members values manifest today in the difference between traditional Republicans — those called RINOs (Republicans in name only) by MAGAts — and the MAGAts or Trumpers themselves. These RINOs are folks like the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Mitch McConnell, Ron Paul, and John McCain. They have been the ones behind the curtain — old-school Republicans, who have more of a World-War II Gen mindset. “Whereas nearly all the folks fighting them and wanting to be even more reactionary and fascistic are the MAGAts/Trumpers, the reckless ‘wacky wabbits’ of the Gen X/Yuppie/13th Generation. These include Trumpian MAGAts like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, and Josh Hawley. These latter have more of a Yuppie/Gen X mindset in being irrational, reactionary, and sarcastically obstructionist.”

8. CASTLES IN THE SKY ... COCAINE AND BOOZE Pages 112-113 “The hypocrisy of the charge of the Sixties Generation being Yuppies becomes even more blatant when considering their values. Sixties values included such selfless acts as risking, sometimes incurring, violence and personal harm, jail time, and a lower standard of living for the sake of their idealistic beliefs in peace, environmental restoration and preservation, and selfless communitarian living, among others. None of that has any overlap with Yuppie careerism, consumerism, materialism, or their individualistic greedy selfishness.” “Post–high-school education was being turned into career- factories dedicated to producing compliant businesspersons, engineers, physicians, and scientists — folks who were not being educated to think for themselves, rather, how to achieve and make money in a culture with which the World-War-Two Generation was comfortable.”

“...the Yuppies were the creation of the WWII Generation in their attempt to reverse the course of society that their own daughters and sons, as ‘Sixties Youth,’ had put it on.” “...the Vietnam-era or Sixties Generation began being denigrated in the press with the accusation, ‘The ‘Me’ Generation,’ and Sixties values were also denigrated — the scapegoating of the Sixties Generation continuing — despite the fact that it was a different age group in society, the younger Yuppies, who were actually the ones triggering the attack.” “The hypocrisy of the charge of the Sixties Generation being Yuppies becomes even more blatant when considering their values.
