Excellent essay - you have clearly explained the obvious.
Marcuse was a "cult" leader and what we are seeing today is a cult expansion wrapped in the cloth of politics and presented as acceptable reality, but it is not.
In an interview with Tucker pre-election, Mark Halperin stated that he expected an increase in mental health if Trump won, which I thought odd.
Also, pre-election I watched a panel including Jane Mayer, Susan Glasser and Michael Bechloss. The vitriolic anxiety was in full motion.
Now, we have Mika and Joe meeting with Trump to "restart..." whatever that means.
It may just behoove those in media who got sucked or willingly walked thru the door to this cult to come clean and admit the stories they refused to report to the public because they went along with a political cult.
Some of the obvious comes to me - when in Western Civilization in our lifetimes have we ever pushed for taking parental rights away, think it is normal human behavior to mutilate minors, or even consider the decriminalization of pedophilia.
What many of these Marxists have embraced is uncivilized and unacceptable human behavior. No one has lost their minds here - they have consciously and without consciences intentionally embraced this.
There is no "reset." The media needs to take responsibility for the harm they have caused not holding this well-trained cult leaders responsible for harm to children.
1967 or 68 I was at a small college in Boston. We had a little "commune" on Marlborough St . A tall black guy asked me if I read Marcuse. I said no and I didn't plan to. Years later I tried to read Rules for Radicals and I couldn't get passed a few chapters. It was sickening. BTW our little commune broke up because " blacks and whites can't be together."
Well done. As a young man I was much taken by Marcuse. “Repressive tolerance” seemed really clever. How stupid I was. But at least I still don’t believe a word of it.

Yes. Making the correction. Thank you.
Great summary. One fact-check: according to his WP bio (yeah, I know), he emigrated to the US already in 1934 and became a US citizen in 1940.

In our innocent and stupid youth were entranced by Marcuse and Mao and Che - all totalitarians.
