Your reasons for hippie hatred
#5541777 - 04/21/06 05:33 PM (17 years, 9 months ago) |

Alright guys and ladies. Basically what the title says ^. I've noticed quite a few comments about 'damn hippies' and stuff circulating, and in all my life I've never met a proper hippie, just seen some try-hard kids with Jefferson Airplane t-shirts knocking around to be honest... I think it must be the region I live in....
So what problems do we have here on the shroomery and why with some of these long haired, espadrille-wearing people?

Hippies are knocked because they are no longer the youngest generation.
All older generations get knocked, hippies are no exception, and the current young generation will too when it gets to be your turn, lol
Still, I'd opt for hippie parents rather than the ones that they had to put up with...

The hippies failed to transform the world into a utopia by giving everyone LSD, no-one cared, and so bush stepped in to shit on the planet. What did everyone expect?

Real hippies are just great people, respectful and kind. Someone you could actually look to as an example of good living...
But there are also scumbags that call themselves hippies.
Basically the easy way to tell the difference with fairly good accuracy is that real hippies just call themselves people, and people who call themselves hippies are not usually hippies..
Sometimes perhaps, but you know what I mean..

because they tend to espouse political philosophies which are not very well thought out.
because they dress in a uniform of tye dye and hemp jewelry and then claim to be individualists
because they often combine self-righteousness with being a drain on society
because they are generally naive and ignorant
because they are dirty and smelly
because they are poor in a country where prosperity is the rule and not the exception
because they are obsessed with music from 40 years ago.
Because they attribute far too much importance to musicians, who, in reality, don't effect the course of human events hardly at all.
Because they believe in things like magic crystals and astrology
Because their women don't shave
because they are vapid and easily amused
I could go on, but I think thats enough for now

Yep. The real hippies don't try to go out of their way with all the peace and love bullshit. The fake ass hippies live in a dreamland where everyone loves and hugs eachother.

Yeah, most country types are still freaked out about pot though, and oh man, mention mushrooms and most rednecks look at you like you have 3 heads or something.
Seems like not too much progress towards open-mindedness with the country folks afterall I'm afraid..

I think the "hippies" I know are great for reasons opposite of this man. They dont preach their all great and powerful knowledge and way of living to others at all. They just live and are happy. And why shouldnt they?
I mean if you've got the answers...please, spill the beans. How should our economy run? What religion is correct? Is religion even close to being correct? Whats the deal with airline peanuts? I mean..who are they trying to keep outa these things? (Seinfeld).
My point is: Yours and and everyones views are just as valid as everyone else's. Id say the definition for hippie is "Someone who knows they're not right and doesnt force their views down someone else's throat". But then my view is as valid as yours. Either we're both right or we're both wrong = it doesn't matter at all. And "hippies" know that.

what good is hatred?
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

I'd rather strive for an attainable goal that give up, throw my hands in the air and say "we're fucked"
what kind of defeatist attitude is that? IT'S OUR GENERATION'S.
You think you hate hippies? you're just as closed minded as you think they are.
Visit The Farm and tell me that same thing you just said. Your post reeks of generalizations, let's examine each one.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they tend to espouse political philosophies which are not very well thought out.
Is that limited to hippies? How about the fact that it doesn't matter how well somebodies politics are honed... A political scientist gets the same 1 vote as a "hippy". Should there be entry requirements to vote?
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they dress in a uniform of tye dye and hemp jewelry and then claim to be individualists
A great stereotype. Since when does being a hippy equate to claiming one's self to be an individualist? Consider group Independence?
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they often combine self-righteousness with being a drain on society
"drain" on society? What are they "draining" from you? I'm assuming it's because they don't embrace into their heart the same transnational conglomerates that are raping the planet for an increase in share size.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are generally naive and ignorant
stereotype, I'd sooner call you the same.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are dirty and smelly
another stereotype
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are poor in a country where prosperity is the rule and not the exception
Wealth != Happiness, and they know it.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are obsessed with music from 40 years ago.
remove the "from 40 years ago" and I'd agree with you
Quote:
DoctorJ said: Because they attribute far too much importance to musicians, who, in reality, don't effect the course of human events hardly at all.
*didn't affect I guess that one is all about perspective. From a business perspective? you'd be right? From a social perspective? Dead fucking wrong.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: Because they believe in things like magic crystals and astrology
I think quartz is magic because it helps me keep time.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: Because their women don't shave
Are you trying to date one? Then why does that matter?
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are vapid and easily amused
That's more of an insult than a reason to hate somebody
Quote:
DoctorJ said: I could go on, but I think thats enough for now
Puh-lease.
Check this out; replace the word "hippies" with "blacks", "tie dye" with "FUBU" and "hemp" with "gold" in all of the above? Isn't it crazy how racists use the same pathetic arguments you just made against a segment of society they hate?
You *really* need to re-examine your hostility and figure out where all your hate is coming from. I guarantee it isn't from hippies ruining your life.
And lastly, no, I'm not a hippy but I've got enough of a head on my shoulders to think for myself and judge people on a person by person basis rather than a readily identifiable trait that allows me to group.
Your post is full of (misdirected) hate. Let it go...

I don't like hippies because they use their philosopy as grounds for being lazy and self-centered. They're out of touch with reality and proud of it. 9 times out of 10 they smell horrible. There's more but that's enough.

I get along with some hippies better than others. The kind I don't get along with are the hardcore vegans who want to shove their beliefs down your throat, the radical feminists who think all men want to rape them, the UFO conspiracy theorists who think David Icke is a prophet, the shallow pseudo-intellectuals with Che shirts who have poorly thought-out political opinions, and certain segments of the "New Age" movement.
Wow, that list was a bit longer than I expected. Anyway, it may seem as though I've just listed all the types of hippies, but that can't be it, because most of my friend from college were hippies(and some would describe me as a hippie as well). I think it's a matter of degree. I had friends in college who were vegan, and didn't force their beliefs on me, though they did help me improve my diet. I had friends who were feminists, but not the man-hating types. I can respect a wide array of political views, as long as the person can intelligently defend them. And my own beliefs could be described as "New Age", but some people just take it too far. I still have trouble getting along with the UFO crowd, though.

People resent the openminds, and freedom that hippies enjoy. Most people cannot achieve this level of enlightenment and take out their frustrations on those that do.

yeah, dude, like I'm sooooooo jealous of hippies 
I wish I could trade my gold and diamonds for hemp and glass beads
and I really wish I could trade my sportscar for a VW bus that runs on biodeisel
and wouldn't it be great if I could leave the air conditioned comfort of my urban environment for a farm where they grow their own organic food and shit in a hand-dug latrine?
that would be awesome!
if only I were as enlightened as them...!

hippie is just another label created by a system that uses labels to oppress people that disagree with it. The media slapped that word on a youth movement from the '60s to manipulate "middle-America" through fear and DIVIDE the population to better control it.
from what i've googled,the actual origin of the word is speculated to be anything from an opium smoking refference from the early 1900's to the West African Wolof language word hipicat meaning ?one who has his eyes wide open? (hence also hepcat)

O.K. so they place less of a value on materialistic things and luxuries, opting instead for a more basic and honest lifestyle. Your problem with them is?

The hippy hippy shakes, what you get when you pump a fat needle of heroin.
Hippies evolved into the punk movement, and shits never been the same since.

I'm saying that, sure they existed alongside eachother BUT One begat the other and out of it when the 80s started rolling out, and the dust cleared we were given the Punks, and the Neo-Hippies. Close cousins in the social family tree.

1. Everyone needs to stop looking at labels. We're ALL FUCKING HUMANS.
2. If everyone was the same, life would suck, and we would all be dead. So appreciate diversity.
3. If you hate "hippies" because of some menial social differences then THE MAN successfully has you in his game. Their game is to separate the masses and create factions and hate between them through ignorance. Congrats.
4. Hippie is a state of mind, not the clothes you wear or the car you drive.
5. Sorry Doc J.. you're my man.. but you're the one that sounds self-righteous and pretentious here. Stop the hate man.

Not too much progress towards open mindedness with the human race really. Just how many shit kicking hicks do you know? I grew up around em. I spent my time getting stoned, wasted and occasionally coked out with rednecks, mexicans and indians. We were all fairly open minded.

All those shit kicking hicks know how to have a good time, no matter what is at hand.
What makes humans weird is how we try to classify things to make the brain understand and be at rest.
But most of the time its just an illusion of the actual truth that we are all in essence the same no matter how we dress or how we see ourselfs and act.
Normaly we make it out to view our own entities as above others, thats often a big problem.....

I think the only justifiable criticism is that some detach themselves from our system but still benefit from our social programs. But that's not just hippies... or all hippies for that matter. And yet, isn't it a good thing for them to go live off in the middle of nowhere if the only thing they do well is to offend your nasal cavities?
Why don't we just gas them all? Hell, we could be green and use their own body odor to do it.

The hatred toward the movement is nice, It further justifies our cause. There must be some value in the "hippie" lifestyle if all you disagree with it... I think that a lot of us want people to belong, you want to see things in black and white. I don't support a nationalized mentality, that freaks me out, the system needs to be dimantled. I appreciate the differences in view..

Really though, we need to start treating the planet with a little more respect, our lifestyles aren't sustainable at all, if you have kids how long do you think they have on this planet, how long do we have on the planet? Civilization seems rather pointless at this point, read the book Ishmael. I don't want to go along with this bullshit. I'm for sustainable agriculture, not the easy life, one where you earn your keep, a life where there's a connection to what keeps us alive and the actions we take. Let's stop wasting fossil fuels, eating copius amounts of meet, reproducing like rabbits etc...

For the ideals in Ishmael to work, half of the worlds population would have to disappear and not come back.
It's a good book, but hopelessly unrealistic.

I would not be too surprised if half the worlds population is wiped out in the near future by war or a widespread pandemic. I have not read Ishmael, so I cannot comment on that, however I think that in terms of the earths well-being, it would be healthy for a large portion of the human pop. to disappear. Wether or not they would come back is uncertain.People do seem to breed like rabbits

you made some good points docJ but, those same points could be applied to many people of different social groups. I think what bothers us all are people who are ignorant and lead unconstructive lives. whether its a hippie or a thug or a neo nazi, matters not. hate the negative actions, not the form they take.
but as for...

i disagree. i think muscians are very important. They inrich people's lives. they provide the sound track to our most important moments. And if their stuff is really great, it lives on long after their death or the turn of the century. Looks at the classical masters. for some of them its been 3 and 4 hundred years and they don't seem to loosing popularity now. I think the great muscians of our lives will be known in 1000 years because good music, is timeless. it captures the very essence that makes us human. i'm not tryin to undermind the importance of great intellectuals, just stickin up for my home boys.

So what problems do we have here on the shroomery and why with some of these long haired, espadrille-wearing people?
To me, "hippie" connotes some bullshit party-line leftist unthinking twat that knows jack shit about anything or how to solve problems. They are the left's equivalent of Pat Robertson.

so i grow my own food. i work for myself. im not on welfare, i get no support from the gov/t, no grants, no loans, other than a mortgage. i have my own spiritual beliefs, i dont go to your church on sundays, i go to mine. i have long hair. i have a full time job. im getting married, were going to have kids. and im sure as fuck not raising them in the city,
i take pride in providing for myself, you may take pride in buying that fancy car or new stereo or shiney watches. i take pride in feeding the ones i love, and making my own music. be it sad, happy, crappy or rocking.
"hippies" are dead. google up the hippys funeral circa 1966. that word is just a label to throw at ppl.
sure there are some real fruitcakes out there, like that cult bus on tour, that will try and play on those "hippy ideals" - free love, drugs, rock and roll.
i can see why ppl hate "hippies" because all they see is the greasy kids on tour hawking shitty shit to make it to the next show, or all the other stereotypes. but for you to do that, well its like me stereotyping anyone who listens to rap, saying theyre all gangsters, all criminals, they all deserve to die.
fuck that shit. fuck labels. live sustainbly, provide for yourself. stop eating KD and macdonalds, stop shopping at walmart.
these "hippies" that you all hate so much will be the ones youll find in the woods in 10 yrs when the real shit hits the fan, oil runs out, ppl shooting ppl for gasoline,the "hippies" that you hate will be living, growing food, pot, shrooms, veggies, maybe take down a deer or moose once or 2 times a year. living. on their own.
yeah fuck them man, they all stink, lets gas em.
those thoughts are ridiculous.

Hrm. I think a clear definition of a hippie needs to be made, one that many agree on.

I saw Yonder Mountain String Band play last night at the house of blues, sunset strip. There were lots of hippies, and it was the best vibes and most dancing I've ever seen going on at HOB. Lots of smiles and lots of fun.
Then again, the hippie-looking kids at Haight in SF can be downright frightening, mean-spirited, unethical, what have you.
So I dunno, I think the hippie label is to small to fit people who live outside the conventional culture and do drugs. There are good people who live like that, and bad people who live like that.

the ideals you describe seem more reflective of the average libertarian than the average twentysomething leftist Phish-following trustafarian that I'm talking about.

in my eyes, thats what a hippy is, someone who provides for themselves and theirs, who is a free thinker.
when i think of trusties on tour, i think of wookies, not hippies. thats just me. dont get me wrong, i dont wear patchouli(that often) i dont have dreads, i have a fulltime job, mortgage, etc etc. isure i raged a phish tour or two ack in the day, then i grew up i guess. realized that this world aint gonna last for much longer so i's better be getting ready.

lol, trying to define these people in a few words? oh yeah, you guys have got it right
how about this. im not crazy about people who call themselves hippies. its not about the ideals some may carry, its about people subscribing to a particular label that i dont like. id rather drop the term hippie from my vocabulary than argue if hippies are 'good' or 'bad'. all the term does is apply preprogrammed impressions to people that do not necessarily deserve them. in the end, YOU are wrong, not the "hippies"
"Your reasons for hippie hatred" is weak thinking, imo.

I'll tell you what's no good for me:
people who complain about the evils of america while simultaneously partaking in america's prosperity.
people who talk democrat but get all their income from their republican parents.
people who whine and bitch and complain but never do anything to solve this country's problems besides sitting on their ass and getting high.
people who try to cram books like 'Be Here Now' down my throat the same way christians do with the Bible
if you don't fit into any of those categories, I got no beef with you, whether you want to call yourself a hippy or not. I agree with you, man: fuck labels. But human communication and understanding will always be dependant on schemas and labels to a certain extent. So don't blame me for using a (IMO, fairly accurate) schema to judge a group of people whom I have had MUCH experience with. I've been to Rainbow Gatherings and Phish shows, too. The reason I don't attend such events anymore is because I don't enjoy hanging out with those kind of people now that I'm an adult.

 It's the hardest thing to not generalize people nto categories. My mind just does it, before I really think about it. Once I realise that I am stereotyping, I usually try and correct myself, but it's not always so easy.

you know what doctorJ i agree with you on some of those points there. those fucking sketchy kids suck balls man. no two ways about it.
also why i stay home more often than not, because i hate seeing ppl all high on chems praising something or other and just being flakey in general. it drives me nuts. my one buddy, a hippy, has had 2 heart attacks from doing too much blow, does he stop? see the light? no.
just keeps givin'er. fucking stupid hippies

I was just re-reading this thread and I noticed something that caught my eye:
Quote:
Ivi said: I don't like hippies because they use their philosopy as grounds for being lazy
Quote:
Krishna responded: wots the point of progress?
See, this is exactly the type of crap I'm talking about. WHAT'S THE POINT OF PROGRESS?? Did you really just type that out on a computer and put it on the internet?
Krishna, I have a suggestion for you: Sell your computer, your car, and all your worldly posessions and go live in the wilderness with no refrigeration, air conditioning, running water, electricity, or technology of any kind. Then, maybe you'll understand what the point of progress is.
until then, keep your mouth shut when the adults are talking.

hippie c.1965, Amer.Eng. (Haight-Ashbury slang), from earlier hippie, 1953, usually a disparaging variant of hipster (1941) "person who is keenly aware of the new and stylish," from hip "up-to-date" (see hip (adj.)).
hip (adj.) "informed," 1904, apparently originally in black slang, probably a variant of hep, with which it is identical in sense, though it is recorded four years earlier. Hip-hop music style first recorded 1982.
Nothing to do with a hypocrite.

Wow I must say I'm surprised to find such anti-hippie vibes coming from this site, I will say that i have found a great deal of love and understanding from those that you would negatively label as hippies. I wouldnt call myself a hippie, but I have been called one. I'll say that not all people who believe in peace, love, and music, are hippies who sit around and bitch. Some of us wear hemp while also being proactive and informed. I love nature, dig philosophy, drop acid, go to phish shows (until recentley) pick up trash, and I fucking love the Grateful Dead. But you got todays jamband following mixed up with the flower children of old my friends. And I shower goddamnit.

I wish I could trade my gold and diamonds for hemp and glass beads
and I really wish I could trade my sportscar for a VW bus that runs on biodeisel
and wouldn't it be great if I could leave the air conditioned comfort of my urban environment for a farm where they grow their own organic food and shit in a hand-dug latrine?
that would be awesome!
if only I were as enlightened as them...!
Hmm. You kind of sound like... oh an asshole. A self-absorbed complete asshole who's stoked he is partly successful within the economic system. What do you do for a living? You probably sell pot to hippies. Who knows...
As others have pointed out, your remarks displaying the 'reasoning' behind your hippy hatred could just as easily be applied to you. I don't think your philosophy in regards to hippies was very well "thought-out" considering the many degrees of "hippies."
Not all hippies believe in magic crystals.
Hopefully you're somewhat just joking around, because most of what you said, although kinda funny, isn't very true at all.

campinman said: so i grow my own food. i work for myself. im not on welfare, i get no support from the gov/t, no grants, no loans, other than a mortgage. i have my own spiritual beliefs, i dont go to your church on sundays, i go to mine. i have long hair. i have a full time job. im getting married, were going to have kids. and im sure as fuck not raising them in the city,
i take pride in providing for myself, you may take pride in buying that fancy car or new stereo or shiney watches. i take pride in feeding the ones i love, and making my own music. be it sad, happy, crappy or rocking.
"hippies" are dead. google up the hippys funeral circa 1966. that word is just a label to throw at ppl.
sure there are some real fruitcakes out there, like that cult bus on tour, that will try and play on those "hippy ideals" - free love, drugs, rock and roll.
i can see why ppl hate "hippies" because all they see is the greasy kids on tour hawking shitty shit to make it to the next show, or all the other stereotypes. but for you to do that, well its like me stereotyping anyone who listens to rap, saying theyre all gangsters, all criminals, they all deserve to die.
fuck that shit. fuck labels. live sustainbly, provide for yourself. stop eating KD and macdonalds, stop shopping at walmart.
these "hippies" that you all hate so much will be the ones youll find in the woods in 10 yrs when the real shit hits the fan, oil runs out, ppl shooting ppl for gasoline,the "hippies" that you hate will be living, growing food, pot, shrooms, veggies, maybe take down a deer or moose once or 2 times a year. living. on their own.
yeah fuck them man, they all stink, lets gas em.
those thoughts are ridiculous.
WAKE UP!
When did I ever bad-mouth sustainable living, using your head, atheism, or a libertarian lifestyle?
I'm talking about these assfucks that shove a poorly-written "Socialist Worker" paper in my face or panhandle for change when they should be in school educating themselves.
Where the fuck do you get off assuming I'm a materialist? Or religious? That's fucking presumptuous and facile.
I was responding to a stereotype of what the label "hippie" conjures up in my mind, based on the people that self-apply that term to themselves. They have, in my experience, been dumbasses that don't approach problems rationally, but are ideologically, if not pot-smoke-foggedly driven dumbfucks. Exactly the left's equivalent of Pat Robertson. Unthinking, ideologues.
I put my own way through school with my head. I am not a frat boy. I have never owned a car. I buy my clothes second-hand. I am an atheist. I've seen what idiotic farming practices have done to the land around me. What, so the length of my hair makes me something now?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Why don't you wake the fuck up?
