You know those self-righteous, college-going hippies who smugly inform you that they purchase Noam Chomsky books and Che Guevara T-shirts as a form of rebellion against commerce and American consumption?

This video provides some insight into that mentality.

This is too true.

Reminds me of all the PETA people with leather sandals....

[L98Fiero]

[Old Sarge]

[Hacklehead]

Great video pointing out the hypocracy of the no-good, worthless, stinking, G-Damned hippies.

Hippies, want to change the world, but all they ever do is smoke pot and smell bad

[elizabetty]

Notice the folks leaving messages under the video do not know how to spell capitalism.

What is capitolism? The love of buildings with domes?

[ishabibble]

Or vegan women who use synthetic birth control pills.

"vegan women who use synthetic birth control pills"

LOL

[kidd]

Or Al Gore going to global warming speaking engagements in a luxury private jet

As someone that was a hippie and lived in the culture, I think that someday we should have a conversation about what a “hippie” was. But not today.

One quick statement though, is that hippies were not college students, and contrary to liberal, self-aggrandizing TV shows and movies, hippies did not become lawyers, CEOs, Senators, and other yuppie or yippie scum. If you were getting a college degree, partying on the weekends and going to rock concerts during the summer, you were not a hippie.

The hippies were cultural drop outs that were largely a back to the land, back to the past movement, in fact the yippie movement signified that political people had ended the very short, tiny, spontaneous, hippie movement.

Thanks for the comments, everybody. I hope this video really goes viral. :-)

Excellent video.

I just emailed the link to a buddy in Ocean Beach.

You might be a hippie if:

You can remember the original definition of ‘Hippie’.

You mow your lawn and smoke it.

You call people who tell you to ‘get a job’ fascists.

Seriously Cartman came up with the modern definition of ‘Hippie’

Hippie: a person who says they want to change the world but really just sits around and smokes pot and smells bad.

[gbs]

If a Hippie truly believed that Capitolism was “bad” he’d “give” you some of his pot harvest for free. Thats what Che stands for, right?

Can’t argue with Cartman.

You might be a hippie if you can remember the original definition of ‘Hippie’.

If you can remember anything, you weren’t one.
