Technically he’s not wrong.
It is an axiom that any genuine grass roots movement will be infiltrated and re-purposed. The “Hippies” were no different in that regard.
By 1966 at the latest - the “Hippie” era was over. Curiously the C.I.A. expanded their utilization of L.S.D. on America throughout the 1950s well into the 1970s, and for a “counterculture” was widely catered to by Madison Avenue and very much a corporate affair.
The “Militia” movement, the “Tea Party” , “Black Lives Matter” even, perhaps. There’s a long history of Populist movements getting the stink eye from the major power centers in government, that’s for certain.

No. Met those types in the 60s. They were the people wearing Mao buttons or Guevara T-shirts. The rest of us just wanted to be left alone to smoke dope and listen to rock music.
