Hippies did things both good and bad.
Some great music, but those drum solos ! Noooo.
They encouraged us to be self-aware and self-actualised so we didn’t turn into clones of our parents, but now we have wellness wonkers, self-obsessed muppets that get their nutrition from farcebook likes, and the notion that we’re not part of a community but instead it’s all about me me me.
Hippies generally accepted that nuclear mutually assured destruction made horrible sense but rightly pointed out that nuclear war fighting with tactical weapons is insanity.
They encouraged repurposing and reducing toxic waste production which is all pretty mainstream these days.
Generally more good than bad imho.
And some of the hippie chicks were pretty cute and friendly too as I recall.
