Well lots of those same hippies are in top positions in government fing things up
Yep, they were all anti “the man”, until they became “the man”, and then their true totalitarian colors came out. University campuses (I can’t bring myself to say “campii”) were never as anti-free speech as they have been since the left became the establishment.
Hippies were about partying, smoking pot, sex,wine,rock and roll , folk music, concerts etc. Not necessarily in that order. Politics was a distant last on any list.
The biggest attraction was just being different.
The ones that got invloved seriuosly with left wing politics were barely tolerated by the average hippie.
Left wing politics got left behind by most as they aged.......like everyone else. Liberals run a good scam but most eventually smoke it out.
The gene pool of useful idiots now destroying the country.
LOL! Yup. The ones that said don’t trust anybody over 30 are well over 30 and a lot of them, even ones who were on the fbi most wanted list at some point, have attained positions of power. Guess what they found out. Power GOOD and the money that goes with it too. I avoided becoming one by joining the Navy in ‘67. :>} Doesn’t mean I didn’t grow my hair out once I got out but never embraced the “lifestyle”. Thankfully. But, I still know a lot of them and also a lot of wannabe hippies. 50 years later.
They went from promoting freedom of expression and loving every individual regardless of who or what they were; to stripping everyone of their individuality, deviding everyone into classes, some of which they deemed special rights, others deemed hate groups that could be prosecuted for hate speech if they dare exercise their freedom of expression.
