Hollyweird, MKULTRA, and the Destruction of Masculinity

In this episode we trace how Hollywood, the music industry, and broader cultural forces helped reshape masculinity from the 1960s through today, arguing these shifts were not random but deeply purposeful. We dig into propaganda, media manipulation, MKULTRA, the Manson-Dennis Wilson connection, the cultural shockwave of the Tate murders, and the darker transition from psychedelic counterculture into the harder drug era that paralleled major changes in music, male identity, and emotional expression.
