The New Poltics of Sex - The Sexual Revolution, Civil Liberties & the Growth of [the State]


Now reading (more studying) this 2017 publication, my understanding-comprehension of my own experiences(s) grows; for in the rise of divorce, marriage and family breakdown, is the product of social and then political movements beginning with the sexual revolution. 

When/as a government is secularized (presumed to once be previously influenced and even founded on holy principles), a facsimile of individualism develops; not one that protects the individual bur rather one that ironically and finally punishes the individual under the authority of a collective idealism.  In simple terms, "real individualism" cannot occur via dependence on state power; but always, the state acts on its own interest--which has nothing to do with individualism, the protection and respect of individuals.
