Absolute horseshit from our resident commie. The hippies, more correctly known these days as the boomers, were a feckless generation of wasteful, self indulgent idiots, and they still are. The only ideas they had that didn't come from a decade of drug use came from the KGB or the AARP, and regardless of the source their ideas destroyed the nation. They are THE worst generation.
Free tip to anyone reading. Any person who whines about "muh war on drugs" is a commie.
It's funny when hippies self-own, like in Easy Rider. The hippy commune is full of useful retards, in contrast to the farmer family, and that movie is the hippies' crown jewel.
That said, I caution against blaming them too much, despite their degeneracy. It was their parents that passed CRA and Heart-Cellar.
Kaarous, I know you've engaged with enough of my posts over the years to know that I'm a legalize everything libertarian, and against virtually all forms of social assistance.
I don't want to take us back to the 1970's, I want to take us back to the 1870's when education past 8th grade wasn't free and you could sell opium.
The hippies weren't completely stupid. They had some conception of the problems of modern society.
They were just naive, shortsighted, bad at planning, and worse at following through.
They could have been converted into libertarians if the GOP hadn't spent thirty years on the drug war.

I've seen you claim such if that's what you mean, but anyone who takes that as face value is an idiot.
Because prohibition is anti commie? Wut?
Agree on everything else about hippies tho.
Riddle me this. Of the two spectrums of politics, which contains the vast majority of drug addicts?
So yeah anti drug is anti communist.
Don't disagree there but prohibition of anything in the US has never worked. Americans are simply too ornery for better or for worse.
Being anti drug does not mean being for prohibition though. There are better ways to accomplish the goal.
