when people talk shit about hippies i feel similarly to when people talk shit about my city, like hey! i know they have problems, but I'm the one that gets to talk about them like that! you dont know them like i do! they raised me!
#especially the all hippies are upper middle class thing#i went to a veryyyyy upper middle class hippie elementary school#i was one of the only poor kids#(it was like neo hippies but still)#but i was ALSO very notably exposed to two dirt poor elderly hippies my whole childhood#my grandma and my friend's grandma who raised her because her parents were unfit#so i get defensive when people say that I'm like ok but the people who were really out there being hippies for DECADES#not even for the Appearances of it / in times when it wasn't cool#despite barely making enough money to scrape by#who made their money doing shit like selling home grown organic salads to their neighbors#deserve some fucking credit and recognition!!#like I'm aware of ALLLLLLLL the pros and cons of upper middle class neo hippies#but if you dare to erase poor hippies i will come for you#the upper middle class ones arent that bad either I'd pick them over your average upper middle classer any day#but they are more.. complicated
