"The antiwar left vacated when Obama took office.
The anti-corruption right disappeared when Trump became president.
Watch the light where roaches scatter."―Jeremy Harding, via Facebook
As sort of a spiritual sequel to the above:

Something tells me Watson is going to be completely silent on all this expansion of govco now that Trump is doing it. Just like conservatives were with both Bushes, Reagan, etc, and Liberals with Hillary, Obama, Bill Clinton, etc. Same business as usual. The pendulum swings in the opposite direction, but doesn't deviate from its pivot.
I still remember hearing of liberals back in the 60s and 70s. Turns out, they didn't give a shit for anyone but themselves. Certainly not for conservatives or libertarians. Wouldn't surprise me to see the same thing with conservatives in the next decade or two, with libertarians still taking it like we always have.
That being said, his video, on the surface, makes sense. You can't be both winners of the culture war (or, 'Will of We The People(TM)' as they like to call it) AND the counterculture at the same time. Those two things are mutually exclusive, so pick one, liberals.
Just like the Conservative Christians who, back in the day, would say, "THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION!" and, "Halp! We am being oppressed! D:" Again, given that we're a democracy, those two are mutually exclusive. Pick one.
By Paul Joseph Watson's logic, libertarianism is the original and ultimate counterculture, and until the state is dead and buried, will remain that way indefinitely.
