Believe it or not these folks are not Biden voters

Yeah but back then , people in their 30s and 40s didn’t grow up on rock and roll, it was jazz, big band, country…

That’s what separates this generation… they enjoy life with their kids and are usually close ( my generation, baby boomers). Couldn’t smoke pot with MY parents. With my kids and grandkids, yes.

@@barbarajohnson9050 I smoked with my parents. But I really should not have. It was kind of creepy. The smell of MJ gives me a creepy feeling still, and I. think that is why.

they were all socialists back then.... then discovered being entrepreneurial, industrious and ambitious was much better,

@@nickyalousakis3851 In other words, they found that the Establishment was right and they were wrong. 🤔

Country Joe ;)

No ... we all need God .

Yea, but you never knew what people would do for that Mexican smoke. (in those days, the majority of marijuana was from Mexico,)

😄😄😄 me too!!....

lol 😂that’s what I was thinking

Thanks for the first-person account! Much appreciated.

You buy 50kg. of rice and grow some unions, garlic, herbs, vegetables, fruits, and buy little bottles of ketjap and other taste makers. You can catch some fish, or buy a little meat, cheese, nuts, or a different meat replacement. It's so easy to cook healthy food, but I think a lot of Americans probably can't or don't do home cooking? In the '70s here in Holland there was a lot of macro dynamic foods, and people were very skinny and didn't have too much colour either. Later on they probably went back to the old fashioned potatoes, vegetables, gravy, and meat (and a little porridge or yoghurt as desert) Simple food, and it makes you feel very strong and healthy! We have these one-pan-dishes too (stamppot ) like potatoes with vegetables and cheese (or with meat) all stamped to a big mush, with some jus or sauce. Mmmm... nice healthy food for dark and cold winters! :)

They probably were short on vitamin B12

@@yukonnoka what they were short on was sense

My mom did her college dissertation on the Farm back in the mid 70's. She took me with her when she went for her research trips and I fell in love with the communal living mentality. I am sure the malnourishment and control were a real thing but I did not see this as a child. All I saw was individualists caring for other individualists. It gave me the knowledge that all paths are equal and there is a way to live without working ourselves to death for the corporate greed!!!

You are not wrong. All Things Must Pass.

“The only constant is change.”

Everything changes except for the 2 mist wide spread religions.

For real!!! I stopped too.

Magnum force..

Sounds desparate and sad in that case. Hippydom is ancient history if it ever truly existed at all, in any pure sense, back in the 60s.

@@brendanbrendan9435 I don't know how "sad" or "desperate" they are, I know a lot of them. They worship the past. They're into free jazz from the '50s & '60s, and the '80s punk scene. too. I found out from one of them that there's a thriving train-hopping scene. I can't image people riding trains as vagrants, but some young folks do it like so-called hobos did back in the day.

There’s only one reason I still go to that area and that’s amoeba records at the corner Haight and Stanyan… Ive been going there since the 90s

@@jamesmack3314 It's just one part of San Francisco.

Ironic as she was probably one of their test subjects who they studied if she took lsd and led an ‘alternative lifestyle’. For all she went through, she hasn’t really gained much insight and has a child who has to grow up with a single parent. Poor kid.😢

The CIA Created the Hippies. ;0) Tavistock institute Man.

You should read Tom O'Neils book Chaos. It's a good dose of truth about the psyops they ran from here.

@@tooberetta I do know a little of that book. I have a mild case of Manson obsession so I’ve seen discussions on if Manson was working with the CIA which reportedly that book claims. People a little closer to truth like Nick Shreck say the book got that wrong, but I really should read it anyway.

@@tooberettahis book is nonsense. Now you know

Wow, sounds like you were at the epicenter of the scene and all the stuff was going down on sunset Boulevard you’re surrounded by people like Joni Mitchell the beginnings of folk rock with Crosby stills Nash Frank Zappa was up there members of the doors love etc that was LA at its best not like today

Ever see Charlie and his girls?

What came after was a CIA operation to create smaller segmented society to be more easily controlled and it didn't stop in the 80s or 90s or at all since then. Hip hop is another great example of a cultural event that was co-opted and manipulated for a wanted outcome.

👍🌈🎃🎗 coool.

???

Steve Jobs? Paul McCartney and bunch of other previously hippie super rich figures? No, CEOs of companies didn't sell their souls. Being successful is not evil.

Most. I was there.

Do Americans really call houses built between 1837 and 1901 Old Victorian houses? Do they know anything about Queen Victoria? In the UK we call them either Houses or Victorian Houses!

@@paulfrost8952 Not really. But since this is KZfaq & since ppl now copy architectural styles in new construction I used the word “old” to start a sentence that described Victorian houses. Unfortunately, as a culture, we don’t have the years nor the wisdom of our cousins across the pond.

Paid 200$ a month at 439 cole st in the Haight in 68- zillow says today’s rent would be 3400 -go figure

@@carygray9831 Wow!!!! That’s amazing. I don’t know how the latest mess to San Francisco has affected Haight Ashbury. The city itself seems to have descended into chaos.

Some of it before Grace

Yeah the dark scum, serpent energy took over, they love iodine.

It was a mess if you were in the Haight in 1965 and 1966. The original "hippies" scattered and the kids who were called in by the media invented a new kind of hippie by studyihg each other

I was only a child when I lived there during that era with my mom. But your chronology sounds about right. I asked my mom "How long did it stay good?" She said "Not very long."

@@adamseward4713 huh? I thought and was convinced 65 and 66 were the greatest years, the most authentic and honest years of counterculture behavior, which morphed into the hippie movement in 67 and beyond sounds like 65 and 66 were the best times to be there before it got to be commercialized

that's right@@jamesmack3314

And now those kids are mostly lame. How can so many parents who were supposedly “cool”back in the Day produce such a boatload of uncool kids

​@@jamesmack3314many of the anti 2nd neoliberal oppressive supposed hippie types produced woke children. Children that are the supposed selfproclaimed antiracists yet are in favor of the implemention such socioeconomic theories as crtheory. The same crtheory that demonizes a whole sect of society by falsely claiming they're/we're inherently privileged and oppressors based on their/our skin color, which is literally bigoted hateful and racist. But there was a group of pro 2nd amendment right hippies that produces some truly great children and their working to Make America Great Again!

Hugh romney ran Charles Manson's family off the hogfarm.

SLIGHTLY lol....

Ya that was pretty terrible.

Same lol

It wasn't a rambling song, it was the same line of the same song on a loop, and yes, it made me want to skip ahead.

I thought they were singing "put the Mexicans to work", that was weird

Isn't white flight if they leave and gentrification if they move in? Those terms have been stained by racist who call themselves antiracists today. 😡

2011 or so was the end of the era. Now it’s only yuppies and tech douches and it’s very sanitized. It was dead by 2015.

@@davidtalks2366 2011 had its own scene happening, the Freak left" movement, which was Occupy San Francisco. By 2015, yes, that scene was gone or almost so, and the second wave of tech gentrification was in full swing. Rents skyrocket, and most of the artists, poets, activists and eccentrics that had made the city so great moved out, if they survived at all. So basically, yes, you are right. There are still plenty of homeless people on the streets of SF, and in the Park, too. But most of them are sad, lost souls strung out on drugs that made the heroin, meth and cocaine of the past seem like a. health care routine.

And now???🙂🙂🙂....

What do mean "never recovered from the drug culture"? Fried their brains on LSD? Moved on to hard drugs? Please elaborate!

The world was still civilized. Grew up in 80s/90s London. The last generation before people were programmed vis social media to be soulless, self absorbed, dumb down bots.

Yeah nobody has empathy, they say the most evil things on the internet without any kind of remorse, just go to an instagram comment section

Eat some iodine, you dark liar.

1000% accurate observation!!!!!

Some of you are alive and living deeply. I host Couchsurfers in Peru and I have met many who upwardly revise my view of the human race. I was in the Haight in 1965 and 66 and what we were there for is still rippling through the world

My thoughts exactly…. if you’re gonna make it in this world, you have to conform to some degree

You got a good point. This shit infiltrated all aspects of our world

Yeah, and they’re arguably worse than any that came before as they are so certain of their opinion that they dismiss completely anyone who’s not with their program.

What about 63☦️🏺🫒

Well with age comes wisdom, and therefore a threat to their experiments in human nature and alternative lifestyles.

I would think there were more young people that wernt hippies than those that were. I was born in 84 but my father and his siblings were all baby boomers and they were straight laced as well

Exactly. The woman said she didn't feel love at home, but she felt love in haight Ashbury?

@@dannyhood7433 the CIA will love you as long as you let them study you😢

​@@dannyhood7433Because there they didn't judge her, they just accepted her as she was. To a vulnerable young mind this was love.

What you should do is love yourself and be enough for yourself (not NEED another human being), but also look outwards, love other people for themselves and try to be a blessing to other people and make connection with others.... It's easier said than done of course but I'm trying.... ...

Wtf?

Well said!

I also, but the open minded spirit of free thinking was born in the days of civil rights protests, anti war demonstrations and the ERA effort. I would not be the progressive I am today without that foundation.✌️❤ Coming of age in the 60's and early 70's was liberating for me.
