Dozens of hippies who got stuck at a festival in Panama due to coronavirus realized that the collectivist utopia they sought after is actually “hell” as they bicker over food and territory.

I’ve enjoyed playing video games since I used to play Asteroids all day on a single quarter back in the early 80’s. It hit me recently, though, when I was playing GTA on my grandson’s Playstation 3. I just play a simple story mode where I mostly drive around as fast as I can and take on bad guys.
But it struck me that, though that can be fun, my definition of hell would be an eternity of sitting in front of a big screen playing GTA on a playstation 3 forever. A lot of things in life are fun because you can stop doing them when you want to. That’s what separates work from hobbies (well, that and the paycheck).
The hippie dream is fantasy. I would wish it on no person I like.
Come to think of it, there was even a twilight zone episode dedicated to this concept titled, appropriately, “A Nice Place to Visit”.

LOLOL....communism really is biting them in the @....backside.
I wonder how many of those unwashed beatniks are Bernie supporters?
You see, they are depending on others to do the work so they can be part of the masses that just sit on their asses all day.
Bernie got kicked out of a commune for being too damn lazy - HE GOT KICKED OUT OF A COMMUNE FOR BEING TOO LAZY.
Put all of those socialists in a Panamanian utopia and let them eat each other as they fight for food. No need to involve me or anyone else who EARNS their money.
Bet their theme song is Inna Gadda Da Vida.
“Why the apostrophe?”
Because “don’t” is a contraction of “does not.”
Herbert! Herbert!
I take it nobody brought fishing gear?
Starving, on an idyllic beach, in a tropical zone. People just don’t make sense.

“One doesn’t want to laugh too much at their misfortune, but dear God, this is funny.”
Yes I do!
I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.
This is the perfect treatment for affluenza.
Affluenza - a disease afflicting ingrates who are so oblivious to how good they have it that they will work for the destruction of the things that gave them the good life.
I bet most of them could walk home; for the purists it’s a short hike from Panama to Venezuela.
“coffee breaks over, everybody back on your heads!”
Hey Tench! Been awhile since we crossed paths on the ole FR! :-)
“I wonder how many will learn anything from this experience.”
I’m getting more and more of the opinion that there is a strong genetic component to the politics and lifestyle one chooses. If that’s the case, the politics of these people will remain largely unchanged even with this experience.
Humans have an unbelievable ability for rationalization and for cherry picking facts which allows them to maintain their ingrained belief system regardless of how much reality beats them up.
Belief systems are a bit like spots on a leopard - they don’t easily change.
Forty western hippies are getting a real education.
hahaha!!
The term hippies has been a groovy joke since the seventies. Likely, none of those people would call themselves a hippie. They signed up for a short-term camping trip with a few lectures, not an extended lifestyle change. But hey, stoner jokes are funny and are as easy as fat jokes.
Walking through the Darien Gap is a good way to get yourself killed. Very dangerous place.
