I remember getting red-pilled about marijuana by the History Channel of all places. I was raised on "all drugs are bad except by prescription." Years later I watched a History Channel program on the history of marijuana out of curiousity. When I learned how congress used a dirty trick to make it "illegal," and how one toke doesn't make someone go crazy or die, I no longer believed it was "bad." Sure it can be used to excess; but that's true of any drug.
I think the point of above comment is when modern generation thinks 'hippies' they think Simpson version - silly potheads into flowery dresses and weird music.
But that picture is a product of decades pop-culture looking at those years through rosy glasses.
People who lived through it recall them as more violent thieves and harassers - because whatever the decade, that type of anarcho-revolutionary that just wants to bring the system down, are all the same. Only difference is, no internet back than so the shit that went down wasn't recorded in detail.
I was horrified when I first learned about the shootings at Kent State back in the 60's. How could the national guard fire upon peaceful protestors like that? After seeing what's currently happening, I'm not longer sure those protestors at KS were peaceful and I suspect they deserved to get shot.
Tom Morello was my idol growing up guitar wise. I even got to share the same Bill with his lameass acoustic thing. All I have to say is never meet your idols.
I can at least stomach listening to Audio slave and I suspect Cornell was redpilled and we all know how that turned out.
I moved to the USA in the mid-90s (from ex-USSR), saw the rise of marxism here, thought that as a society the USA would outgrow it. Oh boy how wrong I was...
Why is it the only pro marxists I meet are natural born citizens and those that fled it are anti marxists?!?!? Oh, must be they and their families felt the repurcussions.
Tbf, I've met a fair number of immigrants who are also marxists. And unfortunately, the vast majority of immigrants do vote democrat but that's mainly because republicans have failed to woo them as much as democrats did. Just look at all the anti-immigrant sentiment on this board, or any other blowhard-infested board on the internet.
Predominantly Jews, but Jews are not a monolith. Hollywood types don't share the same values or behaviors as non Hollywood types. Just like every group large enough for statistics to emerge out of.
McCarthy was right
When I was a teenager I'd hear older folks talk about commies and I just thought they were paranoid. Oh boy how wrong I was.
The hippies aren't all bad. I've seen a lot get super redpilled by covid.
yeah the hippies were right wing compared to these woke tard zealots.

Yeah I used to just think hippies were cringe nothing more. Now I see the Venn diagram.

They could just see a little further than you. Right now, you are able to see like they did
I cringe when I think I used to think rage against the machine were cool. Fuck those guys.
Oh just read the lyrics to battle of Los Angeles. Can't believe that commie filth was mainstream and popular or even allowed.

When your revolution is endorsed by megacorporations and the mass media, you might want to rethink what you're raging against.

I heard all about the nazis throughout my education. Next to nothing about the commies. Now I'm a nazi. Because commies were doing the teaching.
Pinochet was right
I'm putting a guilded framed picture of Pinochet in my apartment and going to tell people that was my pop pop
Mi General!
I personally believe the conspiracy theories of his death. He survived the crash and was up in good spirits and then whammo. Dead
Based
Eventually.
And for some reason the commies in Hollywood and media didn't like that and portrayed him as a fool, a racist, or a paranoid sycophant
It's part of the plan. "Frame your opponents as right-wing conspiracy theorists" is in the revolutionary handbook. And it's still.happening.today.
Who runs Hollywood again?
