The Great Flip-Flop: How Did I Become a Member of the Counter-Culture?

When I was a college student, I was attracted to the counter-culture. I railed against "the establishment." I protested at any abridgment of free speech. I distrusted the CIA, FBI, and the government in general. Remember the "credibility gap"? Big Media was a tool of our oppressors, all of whom used their power to throttle "the people"! But I never went all in. I ultimately became a small cog within the establishment. 
I would never have guessed that 50 years later, the counter-culture would BECOME the establishment. They trust big government! They trust the CIA and the FBI! They trust big corporations! They adore Big Media! They want the global elites to dominate the world! And they want to restrict free speech!
My world has completely flip-flopped! And now, I, an old White man, find myself a charter member of what has strangely become our new counter-culture. All I can say is: "Up against the wall...." You know how the rest goes.
