We often forget that half the boomers were the hippies, pioneers of the Internet, and activist that got the civil rights act passed.
We forget that it was a minority of them. The majority is like every other generation: kept disinterested and selfish.
Half the boomers were absolutely not hippies.
Hot take but the hippies fucking sucked and I absolutely despise the entire movement. They had no political message, no demands, no way of achieving their goals, and were an entire movement based on vibes alone. The 70s was a time of great economic upheaval and there was a real chance that things could change, that we could have became a more progressive society, even revolution was possible, but then the hippies came and channeled the revolutionary energy of an entire generation into doing fuck all. Quite frankly I feel the same about the no kings protest today, an entire movement based on vibes with no plans of accomplishing anything.
