I never liked the hippies, but mostly they seem to have been an idealistic but stupid generation who got swindled when they were young and stupid by using that idealism (people my age are now considered boomers, but we were born about a decade too late to join in that movement, and we weren't actually counted into the boomer generation back then).
And because back then researching anything was a lot harder, and most of the MSM was already compromised.
So these days I am more willing to just feel sorry for them. As it seems that a lot of them really seem to have been idealists who wanted to do the right thing, they were just stupid and easily led, ending up doing exactly what "the Man" they thought they were rebelling against wanted them to do.
And a lot of them have never figured that out. Or they just don't want to. Finding out that you were actually working for your enemy the whole time has to be one of the hardest things in life to acknowledge, especially so many decades after the fact that you no longer are able to do anything about it. Or at least of what you did for most of your life. So a lot of them will not see because they can't stand to see.
