When Bush is gone, what will that do to the hippie movement?

there are protests all the time in dc. mainstream media does not report on those kind of things very often.

right now there are a lot of protests going on at the republican national convention.

 

this sig pic is a good way to compare how times have changed..

i dont think they like flowers anymore..

lesson to be learned,trying to emulate the "hippie movement" nowadays can have serious consequences... not that it didnt back then,, look at kent state..

 

well they wouldn't have sprayed he'r eye's if they only had seen the cameraman

 

they wouldnt have sprayed her at all if she wouldnt have 1, made physical contact and 2, shoved his baton down after making physical contact..

you play you pay..

and trust me,, the cameras havent stopped them from abusing anyone at the RNC,,

Then maybe your not hippies. Maybe you should call yourself something else. Because hippies believed they could make a difference (and in fact they did) in stopping war. The only reason we withdrew from vietnam is because of hippies who protested against it.

If you want to do something different, maybe you should call yourself something different because sticking their heads in the sand isn't what hippies in the 60s did.

 

On a small scale. I'm talking about a large scale.

 

The government doesn't listen it it's people. It does what it wants.
The hippies made a difference in their own lives and the lives around them,
but had absolutely no affect on the vietnam war.

 

I don't think the consequences have changed. In the 60s/70s there was always that threat and in a lot of cases this same thing you show happened then. Remember, Kent State:



Again, your attitude of sticking your head in the sand is what separates you from real hippies.

 

They do if you speak loud enough. They did in the 70s. Too much pressure from the public caused the withdrawal from vietnam or we would still be there.

 

"We" are not there

and actually the US military is still there...

Don't be fooled.

 

Edit: (misread your statement) WE are not in vietnam. You need to catch up. Vietnam is a communist country. We were forced out of their in 1975 and not allowed to return.

 

Just needed to say that much people here seem to still have believe to system is there any other anarchist's here?

 

umm brush up on your reading comprehension skills,, i stated that and even mentioned kent state..

i do believe from what ive read of your posts your the one with your head in the sand...

 

i think you all just want to argue.

there is more technology now and hippies who revolt will get more hurt because there is even less tolerance for them today as well. i dont know who thinks they have authority to tell people what they are and aren't. who cares anyway? let people be what they want to be and think whatever they want. im sure hippies back then didnt argue about who is a "real" hippie or not. so people just let it go.

 

wrong..

sounds like there in and out of there all the time nowadays.id say that pretty much means we are allowed back in.

incidentally,,the IMET is the same bunch that runs the school of americas,you know,the ones that train you in guerrilla warfare,,if your a third world country that is..

perhaps you should get your head out of the sand and pay attention to whats going on in the world,, you know,, "catch up"..

 

You missed my point altogether. You know what, in the 60/70s, they didn't care about the consequences. They were ready to be jailed (of course not to die) for their cause. Are you? If not, don't disgrace those that went before you by calling yourself something you're not just to get some ass and get high.

 

We know better than to be martyrs.

Well, some of us do.

 

Ships visiting and combat/rebuilding a nation through military power are different. We're not IN Vietnam, we're VISITING Vietnam.

You stated we are in Vietnam now. Learn the difference.

 

you said "we are not allowed to return"..
you were and are wrong..
much like school you cant clarify your answer after the fact.its easy to give a correct answer after youve been proven wrong..

"military advisers" are the same EXACT thing that brought us to vietnam the first time.in fact that is how we are in the vast majority of countries we are now in.

you can now come back and rephrase all you want it doesnt change the fact that you had no fucking clue what you were and are talking about..

btw,i never called myself a hippie,in fact i originally questioned whether there was still a hippie movement in the united states..

why dont you go back to the love and sex forums and play with the perverts some more.. you seem better suited for that forum than this one...

 

Good question hh. Actually hippies never disappeared completely, there have always been diehards scattered about. And in the past several years there has been something of a resurgence, not that it competes in scale with the 60s. Let them try to bring back the draft though and then you'll see the counterculture grow!

You live in Georgia, right? I doubt there's any kind of a hippie movment there, in fact there wasn't much of one the first time around. The south wasn't too friendly to hippies, as I found out personally. I enjoyed my travels around there but those were times of great change and the fact is the south resisted those changes more than most places. Up here in Portland Oregon the movement is alive and well.
