Very this. Hippies are hated because they stand against consumer culture. In this country more than anywhere else, that is heresy.

I hate them because they're fucking weird, and have hated them since I was a child for the same reason.

I have mixed feelings about hippies, but I'm glad they're there. They stand for good stuff. I just can't join them for a lot of it. Bit of a consumer whore over here.

Plus of course the general pacifistic tendency of the 'toker'and the whole antiwar movement associated with the "hippy" in the 60's. War = load'sa money to the people in positions of power,so of course anyone/group that threatens their profitability is going to be denounced as anti-American or a threat to society.
When the fuck are you people, that demand the right to carry arms, going to put these mother fuckers(warmongers) up against a wall and do what needs to be done.

Disdain is not the same thing as hatred. I don't hate hippies, I just think they are retarded at best and phonies most of the time. They surf on the accomplishments of other people while contributing nothing themselves except a ridiculous sense of hedonistic superiority. Word to hippies; "If you are going to drop out then DROP THE FUCK OUT. Get out of my town. Stop sucking at my tits. Peace out freakshow bums."

the modern hippies are a part of the consumer culture, cell phones, ipods, laptops, the latest phish show on CD and even stealing from the big stores, very few hippies arent a part of this, those that have escaped consumerism are living fairly isolated from most

A true hippie produces his own bio diesel bro 
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.
and thus one aspect of the hippies part in consumerism is set
most fast food restaurants sell their used oil

for the same reason government hates anarchy
-------------------- "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." You are God and I am You

Its funny the hippies of years back are now seated in government. They used to cry about "our rights man", now they do everything they can to strip away our rights.
Whats to like about a liberal dbag hippie?

Yes, I was actually going to say something to that effect: "hippies" don't understand what made those in the "consumer culture" who they are, the void is filled with fear. Its a human problem; pinning it on "the Man" is not what I'm trying to do.
Whats not to understand about hippies is that each one of these hippies is an individual, who is somewhere on the outskirts of society. Each has their own set of beliefs and values. Some are modest, some are outspoken, some lazy, some active. It seems impossible that someone could actually take the time to fully know someone, hippie or not, and still have so much hatred towards them. (not saying you hate them, for those that do - I know this sound ridiculously idealistic but please, humor me)
Maybe this is a simplification, but if that is a problem then I would think this whole thread is, as "hippie" is such a vague meaningless word to me, like all other archetypes created to make people feel better about themselves at the expense of others.
