Is it normal to give a damn?

I care about hippies, whatever grooviness there is. I care about their causes and their protests, especially of techno-hippies. Instead of a rebellious attitude that causes trouble amongst the police and society, I'm likely to be spotted wearing fair-trade clothes and eating organic food, and I'm likely to be eco-conscious, even if that means giving up a political philosophy to do it the techno-hippie way. My left-wing idealism is progressivism, I'm not tied into extreme politics except the radical center. I'd like very much some free software and trance music, and I think I'm making a difference in the world even though I believe in my invention of passivism: not making a difference in the world, living my life, the absence of activism. I like to get my hands dirty on a computer screen rather than the '60s sit-ins refusing to budge, and I'm about to grow herbs at my house any time soon. I think techno-hippies, who eat sprout salads at the local fair-trade coffee shops, are likely to be vegetarians saving the damn planet, and not likely to have anything other than what is cruelty-free. Is that normal?

    Whats funny is more animals die during harvesting plants. All those bunnies and groundhogs shredded so some vegans can eat their corn.

      I suppose so, but I suppose techno-hippie is the wrong kind of hippie for me, I'd rather spend my time at home not working, buying things from flea markets, and making my own raw cocoa avocado flourless brownies, something like that, and worried about what I wear I'd rather wear patriotic clothes than be a non-cultural traitor of a hippie, I see why hippies are hated. But maybe, just maybe, hippiedom isn't true, it could be all a bunch of lies designed to get teenagers into trouble, think about it.

      Howdi, but I'm no weirdo Asperger! On the other hand this is I-control-your-mind, therefore think any way you want, but make sure your truth is verifiable, logical and testable, and determine truth for yourself, it's normal to be a freethinker, and a techno-hippie, I think.

      Well done, the quiz said I was stolid, and said I'm not a hippie, maybe, but maybe I'm no stereotype, right now I'm wearing an H&M denim jacket and fair-trade hippie pants, I reject conformity, which I'll allude to in my next post. I changed my style and my thinking and my brain, it's all good!

            so lemme get this straight

            yalls whole esthetic is tryinta avoid conformity but yalls identity is based on smelly weirdos from 5 decades prior who ALL copied each other and also based on the fact that you wear certain clothes and do certain stuff approved by others?

            it all sounds fairly conformist hans

              Yeah, but perhaps I'm my own kind of hippie, a midnight hippie, I still believe the contrary of the stereotypes posed by hippies: peace and love is for me not something that goes together, but peace and tranquility, which go together, by having peace and tranquility, one is in a state of quiet as well as freedom from disturbance or commotion, in other words peace and tranquility. In a war we have no love but we can still put a state of quiet and freedom from disturbance together, therefore forcing a tired boring philosophy for everyone to love each other, since hippies are the boss, to me that's as I agree with you, no way to avoid conformity, unconforming ideals derive from being the one who the world doesn't generally approve, I rest my case. But I speak for myself when I say a rarer form of hippie, long forgotten amongst a group of standard hippies, from the 1960s carries far more wisdom than a '60s stereotype and radical, I think only the hippies could've come up with rejection of the '50s yet hippies are from the '50s, and hippies are counter-culture, that means they attack on America in America, I'm not counter-culture, I'm pro-Australian, and therefore I'm more unconventional and a freak than any other hippie.
