I look forward to the November return of AaronRodgers, for he is undoubtedly doing his own research on Achilles tendon injuries and will eschew any medical advice that may try to mislead him into unnecessary surgery or some other form of expensive and unnecessary modern medical nonsense.

I'm happy to start a left-wing anti-science grift for balance if that helps?

That isn't really a thing though, is it?

60s Hippies were collectivist only to the extent that they were anti-war (and conscription) and anti-mainstream ideals, so they congregated with other likeminded people who opposed that and also enjoyed living a more natural and free life, having sex playing music and doing psychadelics.

It is not surprising at all that older hippies rejected the covid mandates.

Were you there? It doesn't sound like you were. Maybe where you were, or the hippies you know, weren't particularly collectivist, but the 60s was the absolute height of collectivist hippyism, with communes popping up everywhere.

original post seemed to be surprised of hippies not cowtowing to the socialist covid mandate mentality.

hippies were rebellious.

living on a commune ≠ accepting top-down restrictions on individual freedom.

the connection between hippy and socialist is a very small slice of a venn diagram.

Jep. and they pulled many people in with spiritualism. there were some spin offs later that were very dangerous sects and cults. One was the Manson family. Another one heavens gate, scientology... Waco the list is endless...

One of my favourites was the one were they attacked salad bars:

And of course all time favourite are the nut jobs at scientology.

While at celebrities and cults, a recent crazy cult was NXIVM :
