Why have 60s hippies with all their good intentions failed and world is owned by neoliberal corporations now? It was such a great, powerful movement, with great cultural achievements who made a few great things, but why they have failed eventually? They had all chances to succeed.
Watched Easy Rider yesterday and was really sad.

Greedy generation, they searched for immediate profit and didn't care about their children and grandchildren.

>Why have 60s hippies with all their good intentions failed and world is owned by neoliberal corporations now?
because drugs cost lots of money

Eh, in the past the corporations were even more important here.

During the Dutch golden age our corporations had the right to make rules, sentence people, imprison people, raise an army, make treaties, wage war, make colonies. And they were bigger than any company today.

In the 19th century only rich people were allowed to vote.

Because they eventually sobered up and realized they'd rather fuck their kids over for a fistful of dollars.

We had companies that waged entire wars against England, Spain and Portugal.

They didn't mobilize into a coherent and effective political force. At least in the US the blowback to the 60s and 70s rebelliousness was so great it overhauled our entire political culture.

Fuck VOC
Any form of Imperialism is cancer

We invented the neoliberal corporations who try to take over the world desu.

They were mostly middleclass children spending dadies money on drugs.

What do you expect?

No, of course world have made serious progress, but such a powerful movement as hippies with such a great intentions and power of spirit, with all these great 1968 revolutions - all this ended with nothing eventually. Of course, they have left us great cultural heritage but nothing more. In 70s world got a whole bunch of liberals and conservatives being in charge, and in 80s neoliberaludm conquered the planet finally fucking world population in the ass and their cultural achievements were erased by postmodernism appearing and taking over.
What generation are you talking about? Actually hippies were all about ecology, they cared about future and sustainable development.
Drugs are another thing they have failed with. Drugs in USA are being legalized only now, 50 years later after the summer of love. And mj was banned only in 30s.

>Nigerian Army
The Fuck?
What are you gonna do with a bunch of apes?
Bang some drums? Shit flinging?

Behind posers like that there were Chomsky, Hunter Thompson, Sartre, Marcuse, Lennon and other great people like that guy who invented environmentalism. There were serious intellectual forces.
>They didn't mobilize into a coherent and effective political force
Yes, but isn't it strange? Wasn't it CIA and other secret services dividing them?

The problem with the hippie generation is that their plans have been shown not to be economically viable.

And slowly, as western government try to get their budget under control. All the changes and social programs they made slowly get undone.

Protect the pipelines.

The Netherlands is the biggest investor in Nigeria (as well). But those monkies keep destroying the infrastructure that keeps their country running.

you should see the wonders they can do when they're given automatic guns

everything about drugs is failure
but i like what Netherlands did. as soon as all drugs were legal, everyone quit them. humans are oppositionists, they only want what's forbidden

The hippies were a bunch of hedonistic lazy slobs. Sorry to break it to you but they weren't the heroes pop culture makes them out as.

>huge capitals against romantics
They have been doomed since the beginning. They were allowed to achieve only some cultural freedoms (because emancipation benefiting capitalists liberating significant amount of workforce and intellectual resources) but obviously nothing serious. And as you've said correctly in 80s all their heritage was removed completely with neoliberal policies and postmodernism in culture. Hippies were all about progress, while postmodernism denies it.

>There were serious intellectual forces.
Why didn't you mention one?

Sartre is a joke. Fuck Sartre. You naive peace of shit, this is like telling a Person that loves music: "I love music too, my favourite act is Lady Gaga".

Boomers or the ingrate generation

Well if some white dudes taking away a country's natural resources without some substantial rewards in return, they are bound to be agitated.
Or maybe you didn't gave them enough bananas.

They Liberate the shit out of them?

>playing the victim

>you didn't gave them enough bananas
yep, that's the main issue. fucking netherlandic cheapstakes
>they Liberate the shit out of them?
who Liberates who again? but yeah, basically that

You're retarded, hippies were against majority of the shit mentioned in your pic. They were all about freedom of speech, liberating people minds, pacifism, against any fundamentalism in anything, against the society of consumerism, they were environmentalists etc. You're retarded to lump together hippies and that generation. Lumping millenials together would lump together altrights and socialists supporting Bernie.

Turns out taking lots of drugs and having sex orgies don't change the world. Big surprise...

>Lumping millenials together would lump together altrights and socialists supporting Bernie.
and he'd be right, both are literally the same: shit

OH GOD. With that much money I'm sure that those niggerians will be a happy and prosperous country.

What? They are protesting? They are still dirt poor?

Oh Just pay some armed niggers to subdue them I'm sure they'll be happy with that!

You're just romanticizing a group of people you see as more than they realy were.

>Consumerism
They are the peak of consumerism.

All boomers weren't hippies. Maybe you can't understand because Russia was maybe different than the West, I don't know.

Don't pretend like hippies weren't basically commie fifth column. Radical feminism especially is hippie invention.

They are usually the biggest economy of Africa. And their gdp per capita is comperable to Morocco.

If we left their entire country would collapse.

>All boomers weren't hippies
you just made him right then. thanks a lot stupid frog

sounds like a great premise to some fiction. It's like a cyberpunk world but not cyber. Though I don't think you guys realise that companies do much of that today. Just through governments and in underhanded, manipulative ways.

>All boomers weren't hippies
? What do you mean?
Of course hippies were mostly left leaning but they were all about freedom and democracy. They weren't authoritarians like soviet communists, actually most of them criticized USSR too (Che Guevara, who was a hero of hippies, criticized USSR for imperialism)

implying that's not entirely due to corrupt leaders and a culture that doesn't allow societal development

True. Nigeria has enough wealth for everyone to make a decent living. If they were social enough to share it around.

You're welcome, intelligent Spic.

why you blame "culture"? it's not like nigerians are luddites, they just CAN'T afford access to technology becaues of the first reason you mentioned (corrupt leaders)

>culture that doesn't allow societal development
2bh Nigeria is becoming better, look for their stats on the net.

That's how it always begins and then it ends with a soviet style dictatorship. The only difference is that America was nowhere near a leftie revolution so the hippies have joined the government instead of tearing it down.

Most of the shit the frog posted is the result of leftie politics.

Are you implying that Niggers are a race that will perpetually be uncivilized bunch of apes?

Right now, even as they import more Muslims to steal your jobs, the Baby Boomers are robbing the very food from the mouths of your Western children for their pensions, when they will be dead in a few years. They are the useless feeders, every cent spent on an old person is a cent not invested in education of the young, infrastructure, the future.

The old only live for the now. Unlike here, where the old people have a sacrificial mentality, the Western baby boomer is importing cultural marxisim and multiculturalism out of spite to kill the few white children remaining.

If you see a person over 60, you should kill him. Given that he is old and weak, he is unlikely to resist. He is probably a multiculturalist and demands that you work into the grave, give up 90% of your income as tax. Kill him now!

I think that blacks are not capable of becoming equal to Asians or whites.
But they have the mental capability to run a normal economy and a normal country in a normal fashion.

But their curse is they often go for short term profit. That's why you see so much stealing/rape/corruption/selfishness/muhh dick/violence/school dropouts/ single moms.
You can compensate this with having a good orderly culture. But their short term thinking predisposes them to a shitty culture. Luckily there are enough examples in the world they can learn from.

Btw, Shall the world gone to shit, you chinks are high on my priority list.

"War on Drugs" is a residue from the boomer era
if anything, hippies are finally in charge and legalizing degeneracy

Well, I think it's mostly like that in ALL the developing countries, from Russia to South Africa:
Developing cunts liberalism: bend over to the West, sell all your shit, force western values and culture while selling all your economy to the westerners, taking bribes from western corporations etc. Economy is not developing, there is no base for the development of society too and promoting liberal values without any base to them enrages people and power goes to
Developing countries conservatism:
Closing your country, blaming le ebil West for everything, promoting heavily traditionalism trying to pull society back to Middle Ages, economy is being ruined by local, not western oligarchs now. As country is closed and corruption is high there are no investments to the country economy, it and tense relations with the West cause economy crisis, eventually people get tired of religion pushed down their throats and poverty and they support liberals.
Also there were leftists in the past but they aren't a thing since early 90s.

I'm afraid the reality of their leeching behavior goes a lot further.
With old people having subsided their own houses with government money, inflating the prices.
They already knew green energy was the future in the 60's, but they left the expenses up to us.
The Dutch gas revenue has been spend on social programs that are being cut away now.
If the pensions that they didnt save for were the only problem that would have been perfectly fine.

HOL UP MANG DAT IS RASIS YO.
WE CAN BE RICH YO! CUZ WE WUZ KANG N SHIEEEET!

*subsidized

>their short term thinking predisposes them to a shitty culture
aaah that. yep, that's how we niggas roll *blushes*

>Developing cunts liberalism
>Developing countries conservatism
result is the same: some nigga is grabbing all the money and i'm getting none
who cares how we got there when the deadend is the same?

Too bad I am Filipino then, you muzzie fuck

>your Western children
I am not the westerner, retard, look at the flag.
>cultural marxisim and multiculturalism
It's time to go back to pol, retard. There is no such a thing as cultural marxism, it's just a buzzword rightards use to mark anything they don't like, and multiculturalism is not a thing since early 00s.
>They are the useless feeders, every cent spent on an old person is a cent not invested in education of the young, infrastructure, the future
It's like that with all the old people anywhere, but since Homo Erectus Homo have been caring about old people in their tribes.

>hippies are finally in charge
What are you talking about? It would be great but the planet is cursed with neoliberalism, power of corporations and concentration of capitals are rising.

>That's how it always begins and then it ends with a soviet style dictatorship. The only difference is that America was nowhere near a leftie revolution so the hippies have joined the government instead of tearing it down.Most of the shit the frog posted is the result of leftie politics.

Where have you seen any signs of leftie politics in the West since 70s? It's all about liberalism vs right wingers there. There are no substantial left forces, Bernie is almost exclusive and has no real power.
And of course no, overwhelming majority of frog pic is a result of either right wing or liberal policies. Are you serious about hippies supporting war on drugs, Christian fundamentalism and invasion to foreign countries?

>result is the same: some nigga is grabbing all the money and i'm getting nonewho cares how we got there when the deadend is the same
Yeah, but there are examples like Singapore or Japan when 3rd world countries became developed. People should learn from it.

>Russian defending cultural marxism

You're not rusing anyone, you commie bastard. We all know what your long term plan is. Piece of shit

yeah if bydlo is the same everywhere how come Russia is more developed than my country? the answer is simple: better leadership
so yeah in the end niggers lose

it's a contradiction that you accuse people of Sup Forums idiocy when you're not watching the effects of leftness in the (WESTERN) world. drug and sex legalization are all hippies achieved, and you can see that if you look at your european neighbors. all you seem to complain is that RUSSIA doesn't have those, but have you thought of the effects?

the thing is that neocapitalists don't care if the culture is conservative or liberal. they will profit accordingly, all they need is to change their strategy and so they did
- if the culture is liberal: take advantage of little to no regulation, sell the people the idea that they're able to "choose" when it's all the same crap
- if the culture is conservative: take advantage of the people's nationalism while offsourcing everything and hiding that fact. support politicians that will get you sweet deals (Coca-Cola and oil companies making deals with Nazi Germany are an example)

>Where have you seen any signs of leftie politics in the West since 70s?

Social security going up, power of unions, general deconstruction of the family, affiramtive action. You still see lefties as a force that goes against the big corporations when they are anything but. Lefties push through more regulation, whom does it affect? Big corporations? Hardly, they can handle those, especially when the insiders tell them years in advance. It's the smaller companies that can hardly handle it and it discourages people from starting a business.

Lefties have already won. Shit like government sponsored healthcare, pensions and welfare is the norm in Europe, along with superhigh taxes pre-WW people wouldn't even dream of paying.

Push your conspiracy theories to your ass, idiot. Shit, there is nothing more obnoxious and retarded as conspiracy retards.
>yeah if bydlo is the same everywhere how come Russia is more developed than my country?
Partially yes, partially we just have oil. Ukraine is mostly a copy of Russia but they don't have oil and they are worse than you. And yes, leadership matter.
>the thing is that neocapitalists don't care if the culture is conservative or liberal. they will profit accordingly, all they need is to change their strategy and so they did
Of course they don't care, they earn money from everything. Yet more developed countries are usually more liberal ones because, on one hand, freedom to "choose" make people consume more, and liberating previously oppressed groups gives corporations more workforce to use - women work, do not sit at home etc.
>drug and sex legalization are all hippies achieved
I know, but those are extremely minor changes compared to what they were going to do. Also mj legalization is not linked to hippies, it happened 50 years later than them.
>it's a contradiction that you accuse people of Sup Forums idiocy
It's not because that dude blames lefties for the problems of the West while lefties are not a thing there since 80s. Only now Bernie, Corbyn and partially Le Pen somehow manage to return leftist discourse to the West. All the previous 30 years it was a dominance of neoliberalism in political and economical life and postmodernism in culture. Meanwhile, leftists are modernist and anticapitalist movement and have nothing to do with all that shit. Since the 1991 leftist parties in the West have become liberal parties, excluded Marxism from their programs, and so.

>what they were going to do

LMAO 420 BLAZE IT FAGGET

Hippie were no different from today's Facebook activists, they just didn't have computers back then

You do realize hippies were just stupid teenagers who wanted to smoke weed, take acid, and fuck anything that walked right? Sure some good music came out of that tine, but the average hippie wasn't some great revolutionary.

>Social security going up
Not really, the golden years of welfare state in the West ended in late 70s-early 80s with mass privatizations, Thatcher and Reagan and neoliberalism.
>power of unions
Unions are gradually becoming a meme since 80s. One of the major "achievements" Thatcher did was that she destroyed the unions.
>general deconstruction of the family,
It happens by natural reasons, independent of ideology. Iran birth rates are lower than in many European countries. Look at picteleated. Such a deconstruction is going on everywhere as the society is devdlopind.
>affiramtive action
It's mostly USA thing and it was going on both with Republicans and Democrats, and would go with any other force being in charge because government can't afford having a cradle of instability and social unrest in poor uneducated people.
>You still see lefties as a force that goes against the big corporations when they are anything but. Lefties push through more regulation, whom does it affect? Big corporations? Hardly, they can handle those, especially when the insiders tell them years in advance. It's the smaller companies that can hardly handle it and it discourages people from starting a business.

Regulation affect all kind of businesses. Leftist always are about domestic industry and welfare and high taxes on corporations which is obviously against corporations interests.
>Lefties have already won. Shit like government sponsored healthcare, pensions and welfare is the norm in Europe, along with superhigh taxes pre-WW people wouldn't even dream of paying
Well, I would say different. Political pendulum is always swinging but base of that pendulum is always moving to the left. People in 19th century couldn't imagine women given right to vote, people having less that 12 hours work day etc (everything happened before the war).

>against corporations interests

Except when those corporations pay taxes elsewhere. Or get those taxes back as subsidies.
