There's a big gray area when it comes to how the modernist counterculture might be assimilated since there are degrees of compromise and betrayal. Some aspects of a countercultural might be well-adopted by the majority so they live on as new norms. But it's a struggle to extricate ourselves from the conservative's civilizational default which is as much animalistic as personal or godlike. So any compromise that upgrades that societal default would be revolutionary and a triumph for personhood over nature's wildness.
