>Nearly every major social issue of the late 20th century exploded as a direct result of hippie culture bringing drugs and hostility towards the family and social institutions into the mainstream. This is quite reductive and ignores the role of dysfunction emerging from within families and institutional structures, including, but not limited to: >The psychological and public health effects of widespread lead poisoning >The psychological effects of family patriachs often being psychologically-scarred veterans, for whom drug use was sometimes prescribed by the military >The artificial and contentious "community" of planned suburbs, which warped the character of family life while saddling local and state governments with debt traps which diverted funds from social services >The intentional breakup of existing urban communities through "renewal", starting in the 50s >The "benign neglect" of the remains of these communities following the King riots Much like Reconstruction and TARP, the problem isn't that we did it, it's that we didn't do it hard enough.
