I’m not confusing them at all, they were a short lived phenomena of only a few years.
My dad was a hippy for a couple of years. Showed up with long hair and beads one year. Was living on a commune. He left rather quick cause he figured out he was just working for the commune leaders. He had only changed the man for another man. The current occupiers and racist street thugs may never figure that out. They are too drugged and brainwashed.
