I came back with a better comment to the Jone's article. I can relate to what you wrote here.
"I am a product of the "Jewish revolutionary" brainwashing myself, a Socialist, Zionist and Feminist for most of my life. I used to look askance at the satisfaction Christians got from normal life and feel that "normal" was boring. I remember reading Paul Krassner's "The Realist" where he depicted Snow White having sex with the Seven Dwarfs and thinking "yes! this exposes the hypocrisy of the US" then at war in Vietnam."
We didn't have to be Jewish to be conditioned into all of the above beliefs and reactions. I was. The formula worked on much of the 'baby boomer' generation.
I grew up in brand new suburbia in north Florida during the 60's. I had no reference points in suburban reality to relate to the world my grandparents, even my parents grew up in. Suburbia was an entirely insulated 'habitat' reserve. Food came packed from the supermarket, there were no cows to milk, no fields to plough. No 'chores' required for daily living or contribution to 'earn my keep' either in the home or community.
And there was no community. It wasn't a 'town'. Nobody had any roots there. Only the adults knew what a town meant - relatives all living in the same area, neighbors your parents had grown up with. We had nothing of the kind.
There was no Great Depression, no visible war. All of the 'real' stuff we knew about from black and white television.
They provided as many as possible of our generation an insulated life growing up. I'm sure now that was deliberate....getting everybody to buy into those affordable little reservations where everything was cushy and easy and affordable. (for while, anyway). The reality I grew up in was a distortion. It wasn't normal, but they told us it was normal. So "normal" was dull and boring, as you said.
By 1969, my juvenile heros and role models were Lenny Bruce, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Reuben. I'd read their interviews in Playboy magazine, and bought their books. Bruce's biography glamorizing his life as a street grifter, pimp, dope dealer and strip joint comedian. Reuben's "If If Feels Good - Do It!" and Hoffman's "Steal This Book". I thought these guys were poking holes in "hypocrisy of normal". After all they were famous, and I figured they were rich.
Bruce was dead at 40 broke and with court cases pending, on a seedy motel bathroom floor with a needle still in his arm. Hoffman either committed suicide or was murdered, alone in his girlfriend's lakehouse and wasn't discovered for over a week. Reuben was oddly hit by a car on a sidewalk in Soho late one night. Hoffman and Reuben knew too much about how the 'revolution' really worked, what it was really about.
So I supported everything Penthouse and rock stars and Hollywood endorsed. I supported sex liberation - not just for my personal interest (getting nice girls to do the stuff I saw in porno - I said, 'hell yeah!' when I saw that cartoon of Snow White too...), but for EVERYBODY whether I thought what they did was repulsive of not. I was a liberal. "different strokes man". I supported abortion -- though I knew if I was a pregnant girl, I wouldn't be comfortable with doing that.
In fact I was personally uncomfortable with most everything on the liberal agenda - but I bought a notion that being 'fair' is only possible without any rules at all, because a law might offend somebody.
We were brainwashed.
And speaking of brainwashing, Steve tipped me off to the latest Anjelina Jolie movie. Released Friday, but he sent a link with the movie bootleg up for free from somewhere in Asia. High quality.
I would never pay 20 bucks to sit through this crap anymore, but I took a look at it until I had to turn it off.
You'll see what heavy duty programming they're doing to the boys and girl today. Suffice it to say that not only is it heavily triggering violence in a 'normal' setting, and a dissociative identity program load for direct downloading into video game controlled youth, but look who's got the big hot gun now....

The young guy in the film is a whiny wimp -- she's the stone killed killer. James Bond inversed.

Soundtrack is heavily loaded with programming. "I used to think I had a purpose. I do whatever I'm told.....etc. "

And Steve found this bio of the director...Soviet trained....
director:
Timur Bekmambetov is a Russian-Kazakh film director known for vampire franchise Nochnoy dozor (2004) and Dnevnoy dozor (2006).
He was born Timur Nuruakhitovich Bekmambetov on June 25, 1961, in Guryev, Soviet Union (now Atyrau, Kazakhstan). His father, Nuruakhit Bekmambetov, is a manager at Guryev Energy company; his mother, Mira Bogoslavskaya, was a journalist. Young Bekmambetov was raised along the Ural river in Kazakhstan, Soviet Union.
In 1978, aged 17, he moved to Moscow. There from 1978 to 1980 he attended the Moscow Energy Institute, but he was more interested in art and movies. Eventually he dropped out of college, and joined the cultural milieu around such artists as Anatoli Zverev and Oskar Rabin.
