What exactly was their problem? Were they just contrarian hedonists?

They didn't get to go to war and come back heroes.

What did the newspaper mean by this?

Also I suspect that beatnik is just some name to call young people and describe the dumb shit they are into at whatever time like hippie/hipster/yuppie or whatever

Did you just arrive from 9gag or something?

most of the beats were genuinely apolitical and uninterested in "the movement". burroughs had an allowance from mommy and daddy's inheritance which would've allowed him to continue traveling the world, shooting up dope and fucking boys for the rest of his life. kerouac was too much of an alcoholic idiot to really care about anything including himself. it was (((Ginsberg))) who both swept up Burrough's writings off the floor and worked to get them initially published and pushed the "the beats" as a movement with all the shitty parts including.

so anyways it was the jews fault.

Burroughs was a genius, anyone who thinks otherwise can fuck off

Depends on which one you're talking about

Currently reading Naked Lunch, it reads something like a vague recollection of dreams half remembered. Not that I don't like it, but I haven't decided whether I like it or not yet.
