A Global Ban on Left-Wing Politics

18. I don't, actually

As I said initially, they have no shortage of good ideas. The world would be a great place, if those ideas were instituted. But... they never were. And given that far more unlikely movements, more threatening movements, DID make considerable headway at the same time, I find it really hard to buy that the lack of implementation is because of a shadowy secret-y cabal of do-badders plotting against the hippies (at least, no more than the CIA plots against everyone, anyway...)

And from what I see, most self-declared hippies are far more concerned with heaping praise upon themselves for having converted oxygen to carbon dioxide at some point in the period between 1964 and 1976, than with actually getting shit done. That's fine, I guess, live how you want, but stop fucking demanding I praise you for having been live at the time - and by the same token, stop stealing credit from other people. Goddamn, that's just shameful.
