If hippies were hauled in front of a revolutinary court for crimes against humanity, the prosecution would have a wealth of evidence to back their case for execution - Jonothon Livingston Seagull, Alternative therapies, Dress sense, Karma, selfishness, Charles manson- the list is endless.A shot in the back of the head seens pretty much a certainty


What would you produce for the defence to mitigate these crimes ?

I don't think you get it hunkyd.


Hippies (real ones) are a little like proto-hippy Jesus and are quite comfortable with the whole "prophets are not without honor except in their own country and in their own house " (Matthew 13:57 cf . Mark 6:4, Luke 4:24) thing.


Far from seeking to defend themselves against the revolutionary court they would revel in being persecuted and prosecuted for their lifestyle/beliefs and would declare their feelings of 'peace and love' for their oppressors even as the guillotine sliced into their unwashed necks, leaving the 'righteous' to (eventually... eventually) face up to what they had done, realise it was wrong and indulge in mass wailing and gnashing of teeth... or at least a vague sense that they may have been a bit harsh.

"...or at least a vague sense that they may have been a bit harsh"


That made me laugh very much :-)


Tend to agree - hippies'd probably take great succour from persecution and probably make it a recruitment drive. Any thread dissing hippies is counter productive.


How about Vietnam though? Didn't that cost about 2 million lives? If the hippies hastened the end they might have saved 2m more.


The numbers probably seem a bit big to contemplate, but it's worth taking a moment to consider the scale of that pointless and vindicitive American imperialist slaughter.

Did anyone catch the All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace last night?

I particularly liked the bit about the hippy communities breaking down because their attempts at sweeping away power structures simply meant that the bullied had no means to stop the bullies.

ie hippies are just as bad as everyone else, just smugger about it.

My understanding of a hippy, are a group of people manly in America in the late 60s early 70s that dress in the native American style clothing and have this utopia way of thinking I don?t remember a hippy movement in London certainly not where I was growing up in the 70s maybe there might be a few in the suburbs at that time. Now I think most of them are now working for the Third Sector;-)

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
