my father was crawling around the jungles of vietnam getting shot at while these @#@#$@# hippies sat around on their lazy a55es taking drugs and defiling all that was good and true about American society. They can rot in hell. They’re the trailblazers of today’s woke communist mob.

Not everyone there was a Hippie. There were a number of musical events in those years.

We can argue about the wisdom of engaging in the Vietnam war, but I think there is no disputing it was a turning point in modern America where it became obvious leftists, progressives and elites could dodge a top-down, Fed.gov mandated sacrifice, while the rest of America served or suffered for it.

It seems to have set an attitude and pattern for many political crisis, wars and events afterwards. Today that pattern is set-in-stone in Washington DC

"my father was crawling around the jungles of vietnam getting shot at while..."

My brother was crawling around the jungles of Vietnam, getting shot at in '66-'67. Draft-dodging Bill Clinton spent a week in Moscow in 1969 when he was a student at Oxford. Here he was visiting the country we were fighting a proxy war with. Made my blood boil when I learned about that.

Your dads duty notwithstanding

That simply is not exactly true

The Warren court which ushered in so much reformation was my grandparents generation in power and I’m 65 now and remember Woodstock well

Likewise hippies and hippies are too different animals

The Alinsky acolytes were the yippies

Rubin Hoffmann and Rudd and Hayden and Dohrn etc

Leadership was Mostly upper middle class Jewish urban kids from left wing since landing here families and a couple of goys like Hayden and Ayers thrown in

Those fomentors of todays left were not boomers

They were my folks generation born between the Greatest and boomers

LBJ power which started so much entitlement was foisted again by my grandparents generation at peak power

Those born 1900-1915 or 1920

One thing you can blame boomers for is sex and the dismantling of sound mores

Them and the Pill

Last note

A lot of wokeness is new ideology

Obsession with race and feminism and trannies and queers

The yippies grew out of civil rights activism so there is that link

But they were chauvinist to the core and often in it for the celebrity and punani

Abbie Hoffman horn dog he was admitted it

But a lot of woke excess is simply new

Evolving tools for the neoliberals to destroy the West and Christendom

[Secret Agent Man]

Amen.
