From another thread, I received a PM from an un-named member. To paraphrase, "I used to think you were a hippie[sic], but now I think you're a conservative.

Hippys were conservatives. They reacted against the [WWI trench warfare skinhead hair style] and adopted an Old West/Jesus style and went back to The Garden.

It was the Yippies, the Youth International Party that hijacked the zeitgeist and ran a pig ("Pigasus the Immortal") as a candidate for president of the United States in 1968.

In my mind there is a red line from there to BLM/Antifa/Biden. The hippys were ''Tim Pool Socialists'
