Why the government hates hippies?
    #14567912 - 06/06/11 03:30 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Why do you think the government hates hippies so much?


What is so frightening to the establishment about people that as a generalization at least like to drop out, take drugs and hang out at concerts and in nature- obviously theres more to it than that but thats the quickest generalizstion i could come up with. :tongue2:

Now i am not a hippie personally but im just saying what are people so afraid of with hippies?  Its not like they try convert anyone or are causing violence.         

I think its fair to say a big motivation on the war on drugs was to stop the hippie movement.

Its not just the government, there are people here at the shroomery who express a hatred for "hippies"

People tend to fear what they do not understand.

Maybe, but I think the reason it has continued is $$$ and it seems that racism also plays a role

Because they threaten and challenge the status quo. Govt is all about the status quo.

It's partially this, but I think it's more the anti-consumerism, anti-materialism aspect of the hippie movement that scares them the most

That's what this country runs on

Hippies arent completely anti-materialism and anti-consumerism though.
If no one bought their patchwork pants and crystals how could they afford to put gas in their van?

Well having clothes and fuel doesn't really translate to being a materialistic consumer.

All consuming is consuming, it's more about reducing carbon footprint and reliance on outsourced slave labor.

What I'm talking about is like mass consumerism and materialism as a lifestyle, greed for money and nice things being a main concern.

Not the consumption that it takes to survive.

I guess there is different levels of hippyism too.

Youve got the kind that still shop at health food stores, the kind that only dumpster dive and furthermore the kind that only produce all of their own food by growing it on their commune.

Where does consumerism start though? What about spending big
$ for your hobbies and passions? Should we reject any kind of
consuming beyond basic survival? How are we different from animals
then?

Anyway, I don't like hippies (not hate, hating is silly) because
of their sterile smug moralistic ideals...they are all talk and
promises and their greatest achievement is the grateful dead...:shrug:
Which speaks volumes really.

I dont think it's ideal to be a hippie, it's just a word the man attaches to anyone who is outside the box.

cause the government is just a bunch of old people who haven't gotten laid in years. all they want you to do is study schoolwork and have no sex and be completely sober all the time so you turn into a brainwashed robot just  like them.

They want you to be just like them.

Naw, a true hippie gets it free from fast food restaurants and filters it. That way they clean up the mess that consumerism has left.
