>>18487321/thread

>>18487303The CIA stopped funding it
>>18487321but jews created it
>>18487303They realized it was retarded to be a smelly subhuman pothead/acidhead, grew the fuck up and moved on.
Go to any jam band concert or big college campus and there’s still hippie LARPers a half century after the movement faded, but the original thing died like other pop culture movements—because it became cliche and uncool. Disco, punk, hip hop, preppy and other subcultures supplanted hippiedom as the old farts moved into middle age and kids wanted something fresh. It lasted longer in middle America as it took longer to arrive and cultural change moved slower pre internet. Well into the 80s you’d see dudes with unironic shaggy hair, faded jeans, cheap weed and classic rawk music after their urban and upscale peers had long since moved on.
>>18487529They were a continuation of the German Wandervogel movement in part.
>>18487529muhhhh fuggin jewsssss they are omni god beings that are behind EVERYTHINGGGGG
>>18487303>movement didnt really achieve anything and by 1970 most people grew disillusioned with it>the appeal wears off once you stop taking drugs for a month or so>they grew up and got jobs >a lot of the followers didnt actually believe in anything and just wanted an excuse to do lots of drugs and have lots of sex, read up on the communes and see what a total clusterfuck they were>the aesthetics began to be co-opted by corporations and mainstream entertainment
>>18487303Lots of them joined cults which ended how you'd expect so by the 80's they'd switched the weed for coke and become yuppies with their family connections since most were rich kids LARPing.
>>18487728yes
>>18487303They started collecting social security checks from the government and realized being a greedy boomer fuck is much more lucrative.
>>18487303They never actually embraced socialism, so the movement was easily co-opted by capitalism, sold back to them, and then they grew to love the fruits of imperial exploitation and become the middle aged Gordon Gecko types of the 80s
>>18487303Did it really die?Or did they just become college professors and take over the universities and turn them into socialist propaganda institutions?
When China invaded India in 1962 and Nehru had to request assistance from both the United States and the USSR it made peaceful cooperation seem a lot less tenable
>Yes
>>18487896Long March through the institutions is the most hilarious shit I've ever heard promulgated by conservatives on the InternetModern American universities are extremely right wing institutions and fetishistic of creating good worker bees for the slavery wage machine, professors gleefully push this mission forward - some just have window dressing about black lesbians or somethingEven most students don't care about making the world a better place anymore, it's just about eking out a meager existence
>>18487303Good ole days
>>18487303because they were gay
