Why are some people such unfriendly bullies online?
Is this fun, creepy or just endearing?
😂😂😂
See screenshot below:
What do you think?
• Is it because Im a hippie and he can smell it (even online)?
• Maybe he wants to be my friend, but lacks social skills?
• He saw me panhandling down in Chula Vista, outside Trader Joe’s?
• Why don't you explain yourself @ackza, please do enlighten us!
Peace, Happiness, Love & Abundance to all steemians!

I dunno. Maybe he's afraid that you are going to get to his corner first?
Do wealthy hippies still wear Birkenstocks? I've sorta lost track.
Hippies have a whole uniform now days
• Naturally dyed and organic linen-robes.
• Loose-fit organic hemp-pants or clean but colorful indian saris.
• Expensive artisan jewellery with silver and expensive gemstones.
• Perfect dreadlocks probably made at a special hair-salon.
• I think some of them still wear Birkenstocks or some fancy artisan leather boots.
If you go to a hippie-gathering now days not wearing this exact uniform, you will be ostracized...
That don't sound like the 60ties now does it @bigtom13?
I didn't live during the 60ties, but I am guessing things where different...
I actually think what is now referred to as a "Gutter Punk" might be more close to the original beatnik/hippie, since they are less snobby more hip and more close to the original "Beat":
Since gutter-punks don't care as much about fashion, opposed to "neo-hippies", "gutter-punks" are truly transient traveling by boxcar, hitchhiking or borrowing a vehicles...
Let me know what you think?

Ahahahahaha. That's a hell of a description. Who knew?
I have friends that are survivors of the 60s. I mean really close friends. I'm going to run them through the list.
He wears Levis and flannel. Old Levis and flannel. She wears jeans some, but mostly some sort of loose fitting dress. Their daughter (my Goddaughter) is strictly Goodwill punk.
They are believers in Hemp, she's been weaving and selling hemp clothing since long before it was legal :)
They do wear expensive artisan jewelry. She's the artisan, and their primary business is in semi precious gems. Their newsletter goes out to 60,00 a month. Those are regular customers. About half of them are USmail peeps that don't trust the innerwebs.
Gibby tried dreds a few years ago, drove him crazy. Just a braided ponytail to the middle of his back now. Speaking of, for maybe 10 years he made custom boots. Damn things are near ugly but comfortable as anything. They don't wear out. Ever. Customed to your feet.
They take in strays, humans and animals. They take care of neighbors and strangers. Organic gardners. And cook? I just love feeding there :) They are what the 60s were, filtered through 50 years.
In truth, they know about the beat generation, and Gibby's son is clearly gutter punk. He's a freaking glass blower !
Nothing snobby at their house. Not one single thing. I think the movement lives on, I really do. But I think you have to go to small town america to find it. Look in the coffee shops....
Yeah @bigtom13 I know some real hardcore old survivor hippies, they are mostly like that, generous welcoming and helpful to any kind of stray...
And some has just left all that "hippie shit" behind, (denial much)...
I guess the crowd I was criticizing are the more somewhat insecure "neo-hippies"...
(Also when I write "snobby" it's not as in rich-snobby/fancy, more about an attitude of superiority)...
But I give a lot of respect to "gutter punks" even though they might be quite horrible sometimes, they are living as if they would use "Jack Kerouac's - On the Road" as a manual... Yet they might not even have heard of that book...
Cheerios!

Me:
Trying to figure out how to hustle up some extra money...
Procrastinating aka not doing the dishes, but mainly just trying to get some rest, maybe work-out a little later, watch something on netflix or HBO.
Have you got any ideas on tv-shows/movies?
Cheers and thanks for stopping by!!!

Naw, ha ha ha... Not really, they where a different breed... The "peace sign" had turned into a "flip off" at that point in time 1979... =)

Lol oh ok they kind of seemed like it. Can you dig it?

"The Warriors" where portraid like "proto-punk-hip-hop-hard-rock" looking gang members from NY/Coney Island... Not really what I would refer to as hippies, but similar with the long hair and all, a hybrid mix maybe?
Bopper
I was not in New York at that time but it was where Punk and Hip-Hop kind of emerged from all the rubble and scum...
There is a pretty good documentarie from that time,
called "Rubble Kings":

STOPHi @friendly-fenix I like the fact you took the effort to call out this person for their failed insult.
You are begging like a beggar is hardly an intellectual argument historical reference aside.
However I can be guilty of poor use of the English language at the best of times.
I love the fact you made the effort to use a Warriors meme to entice them to engage further. It really did make me smile :)
It seems doubtful this will happen...
You would have scored bonus points in my mind had you provided more context pre/post comment exchange.
We should encourage disagreement in a friendly and respectful fashion to test our own preconceptions which i think is what you have done, but the opposing party's comment appears brash and ill-intentioned.
Hello @the-one-true-dan!
Thanks for your lengthy and well written / formatted response. I guess he/@ackza did not like me using "headliner tags" in a busy comment section, so this was what he first posted 16 days ago in the same thread:
(This might be the "more context" pre/post comment exchange you where looking for?).
Thanks again your witty input made me very happy!
