The hippie movement

Did you know that the hippie movement, which gained momentum in the 1960s, was a cultural revolution that not only embraced peace, love, and freedom but also had a profound impact on music, fashion, and society? Hippies were known for rejecting mainstream values and advocating for a lifestyle based on communal living, environmentalism, and artistic expression. With iconic festivals like Woodstock in 1969, the movement was deeply intertwined with music—especially rock, folk, and psychedelic genres, with bands like The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, and The Grateful Dead becoming emblematic of the era. Hippies believed in unity and peace, opposing war and social inequality, and their influence can still be felt today in various aspects of modern culture.✌❤

There was a reason for the creation of a "cultural revolution". Groups inside the United States, sometimes with leaders from eastern Europe, worked very hard to protest the Vietnam war which threatened communism. "Hippies" were definitely sucked in to that.

In order to weaken our culture, the family unit and morality had to be attacked, and it had to disintegrate.

Drugs were introduced into the mainstream culture. The sanctity of marriage was mocked and nullified. "Free Love" was a huge "thing', which basically turned young women into convenient slots into which the young men could deposit at will.

One thing the Hippies hated was "The Establishment", and "The Man". Hippies were created to destroy our country from within. Today, most of them ARE "The Establishment" and "The Man".

Since I lived through that time, I am VERY familiar with what it was like.

I was surrounded by the culture, though never was apart of it. 😊

Some of them sold drugs to support their lifestyle without working a job, and it got nasty if they thought someone would snitch them out. Not exactly peace & love.

They went from fighting “the man” to becoming “the man”.
They grew up to be the war mongering boomer politicians we have today..

Warm n fuzzies…

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout This is absolutely true. All the peace and love stuff went out the window when they had a taste of ruling class power. Now they support killing babies in the womb, arming Ukraine so thousands can die every week to support their globalist ideas, and open borders. They gave a big 🖕 to working class. I am old enough to relate to it all.
