Author of quotes: Malgorzata Yatsyne

The use of the right to "be yourself" has manifested itself, among other things, that alternative styles of life has ceased to be destiny of the Bohemian and lumpen-proletariat. Lifestyle Bohemians of the twenties and thirties were crucial for the morality of individualism in the sense that a life of poverty ceased to be shameful. Aristocratic vanity, and especially Puritan self-discipline and pragmatism, was severely condemned for the dullness of strictly defined existence - spiritual poverty and a heroic orientation of the normal extravagance. Actually, with this vital position and there was an "attack" of culture on social structure. The meaning of the right to be oneself in a new environment completely defined the counterculture of the sixties. The idea of "be yourself", primarily meant self-liberation from "traditional life" and, mainly, the rejection of the usual, interpreted as violent notions about success and ideas of the heroic, but quiet and happy life.

As reminded in the time of S. Zizek, "the noble struggle for freedom and justice turned into a struggle for the right to eat bananas and watch porn".
