Thanks for the note! That's definitely how I feel, too. One thing I've noticed, though, is that the lines can get blurred. Things that appear more autonomous might turn out to be connected in less visible ways to these larger networks. Plus, a lot of more oppositional writers of previous generations have been embraced by, or even absorbed by, the establishment. So it can get really muddled, and I'm always trying to draw a clearer border between these worlds.
