Yeah. It funnels you towards some pretty extreme stuff. Usually fairly right wing. I find old guns interesting so I watch Forgotten Weapons. I just want to see a pleasant nerd explain how the unusual folding stock works. Next thing it’s wall to wall militias and prepper lunacy.
These people were laughing. I lived that lifestyle. Many of us had nowhere to go, others were ex Vietnam vets. Others wanted to go back to the land and embrace nature because we knew what humans were doing. We also knew about climate change and overpopulation back then. We also knew about pollution. Many of us are still around and still have the same views. But this was incredibly funny.

"Horoscopes to Hitler pipeline." - amazing insight. Humour aside, so many of the anti-vax types who ended up becoming engrossed in the world of far-right, conspiratorial thinking were old school hippies.
there wasn't ever anything far right about 99% of those conspiracies. Lot of people mix up actual conspiracies with tabloid tier bullshit.

Ahaha I actually found thee new age movement through both modern prog metalcore music and conspiracy theories.

Although, I've had many friends move away from their families that didn't help them or appreciate them in the end and then they actually achieved all their goals. The world is in a process of great change IMO and so who knows where we might end up, maybe it is all connected. Before change can occur, one must first believe in it, otherwise they will do nothing to alter their path.

I'm more of a modern pseudo-hippie at 36 and I think it's purely a spectrum. As I see it, there were 'real' and 'fake' hippies back then as there are nowadays, however someone defines the archetypal hippie. World events change; People, not so much. You'll have your activists, your hedonists, your in-betweens, and any number of interpretations on which label best defines that individual.

@@YellowPenis do you see the word "especially" in what you've quoted there?
