Progressives are very pro-institutions these days to exert influence over society.
Whereas its these Conservatives whove gone anti-institution and are experiencing a hippy phase of their own.

In part because of the backlash to hippies, modern progressives are largely starting their adulthood under piles of debt in a way that the hippie generation never experienced

Theres no hippies today and theres no way you could call yourself a hippie and say Im a progressive

Saying that alone makes the hippie designation moot, hippies werent into that

our generation's hippies are anonymously discussing a myriad of esoteric topics on social media

they are not collectively confined to a particular ideological disposition

Im a modern hippy. I believe everyone deserves to be treated the same and that rich people mostly suck. But at the same time, I just want to ignore it all, walk my dog and lay in the grass as I smoke some weed. I want to makey friends feel happier than they would be without me. And that's my reach. And Im ok with that

I think this is just another topic that's like "Let's somehow all agree on simplifying a complicated group of people through stereotypes we picked up".

Admittedly, Im doing the same with my earlier post. I never actually did a deep dive into what hippies are about. None of you did.

Theres no deep diving into the history of counter culture through the lens of politics since it has very little to do with politics = everything mindset. It was a movement designed to be complete liberation from that mentality by stripping away causes and freedoms and placing them as a world efforts made boundless by politicians.

a lot of them turned into junkies though

and somehow they were able to create some of the greatest music ever
