Do We Live in a Society Without a Counterculture?

I think it's inaccurate to call a group that has large political parties in essentially every democratic country "counterculture". To me that seems like calling the moderate left counterculture. Maybe neo-nazis and other radicals are, but that's because nobody likes them except for themselves.

Referring to everyone as a nazi or radical that holds a different opinion from one's own is a huge reason why conservatism is growing so quickly as the new counter-culture, especially amongst youth. Societies simply cannot grow and thrive with degenerate movements which are inherently built on being immoral, self-centered, and self-destructive to both one's self and society as a whole.

Actions frequently done by conservatives that are self-centered and self-destructive of self and society:

    * coal rolling
    * ignoring science in favour of "feels" when it comes to vaccination
    * contesting/ignoring the results of free elections
    * ignoring science in favour or "feels" when it comes to climate change

And yes, I've heard all the justifications and excuses about why these are good, actually.
