the yippies looked like hippies, but they were the origin of the new left
Yes.
“the yippies looked like hippies...”
Reminds me of Wacky Packages’ “Commie Cleanser” from 1969. Appeared in some newspaper ads.
“Gets rid of Reds, Pinkos, Hippies, Yippies, & Flippies!”
This sparked angry letters to the editor from outraged lefties, one demanding to know “Just what is a `Flippie’, anyway!!?”
