The idea of hippy-ism is selfish
Hippies have the right ideas, just go about it the wrong way. They feel the idea of society is wrong, so they "break away" from "society" by living off the land of others, living together, sharing things, trading an object of value for the service of some kind. Sounds a lot like the "society" they are trying to get away from, no? They also think that "progress" is to start a giant music festival, not collect any money, smoke, do drugs, and drink until they all pass out or are kicked out by the town. In reality, hippies are no more than selfish children who couldn't make it in the real world so they try to make their own society of "party nomads". Believe me im all for parting and helping the environment but u cant claim a good cause for partying if the party doesn't help your cause. Yes it is good to bring attention to certain things but it's better to bring change yourself.
