American Chronicles Magazine, January 1979, describing the supposed death-spiral pathologies of "liberal culture." Change a few of the names and details, and this could be published in Breitbart or the Daily Wire today.
The specific event which seems to have inspired this particular screed is Jonestown...because as we all know, caring about poor people is just a Marxist slippery slope to mass murder.
It's even got the nice Obama/Bill Ayers touch at the end where Rosalynn Carter is tied to Jim Jones.
The full text of the magazine in case you're interested in reading some gut-bucket paleo-conservatism (rife with antisemitism and racism) from the late 1970s. unz.com/print/Chronicl…
Looking at this stuff makes me wonder what would happen if any of our contemporary right wing edgelords ever took a week to read some of their far right predecessors from the 1960s and 70s. Would they have a moment of self-realization about how derivative they are?
