It’s an old 60’s saying, something that hasn’t sunk in as much as the urge to conformity in thinking. What does it mean to you?

subvert: undermine the power and authority of (an established system or institution).
paradigm: intellectual perception or view, accepted by an individual or a society as a clear example, model, or pattern of how things work in the world
Do we have a national paradigm? Think American exceptionalism and how people accept blindly that anything we do here is better than anywhere else. That is a solid belief system despite evidence to the contrary in many aspects. Look it up. We could do better, but that attempt would just strain that particular paradigm. Maybe you see that some believe that unregulated capitalism is sacrosanct, despite also evidence to the contrary. The trickle down theory that all would benefit if we just stop taxing and regulating the rich or powerful corporations and banks, is still the present administration’s model, but has there been any trickling going on for the past decades?
