Exactly. 60s "hippies" would be shocked at how their movement evolved into central planning.
I even support their "communism." If a bunch of people want to live in the woods and start an egalitarian community, I am all for it. However, modern "Hippies," they want to seize what you and I have built.

The current state of America, the liberal and…different…groups that have been permeating through our society the past few years, did all of this start with the hippies in the 60’s?
Basically, what I’m saying is that, before flower power took over, most people were pretty straight-forward and, for lack of a better term, “normal” according to conservative society. If someone was “different”, they kept it hidden. It wasn’t out in the open and wasn’t celebrated.
Did the hippie movement forever change American society? Did it lead to the breakdown of conservative values that we see today?
Just because Leave It To Beaver and the Andy Griffeth Show were on television doesn't mean that terrible shite didn't happen back then. It was way easier to beat your wife and beat your kids back then and get away with it, and Catholic priests still had free reign to molest children and there wasn't all of these advocacy groups and checks in place for child molestation and way more kids were getting molested back then.

Less occurred in decent neighborhoods. Social pressure kept people on good behavior.

It started with Eve and then Adam.

The current excess of social movements, arguably bad or beneficial can be traced to two phenomena that don't have much to do with politics or philosophies.
1. The US population has more than doubled since 1950 along with the number of people holding certain opinions.
2. In the past 50 years the public forum has gone from tightly controlled to being a self-serve free for all making it easy for advocacy groups to gather followers and inflate their apparent influence.

I hate it when people spout off things like this with no thought to what they are saying.
“Judeo-Christian values” is a term indicating the shared values based on the Torah like the Ten Commandments etc. Biblical law is foundational to the modern ethic that originally undergirded our legal system.

Not with the Hippies.

Counter-culture of the 60's along with television being able to easily communicate with the masses certainly led to more people breaking away from the norms typically put on them from their family influence. For good and for bad.
Without it, plenty of high potential people would only have the influence of their family and small community. Meaning a more difficult movement between class levels.
But the problem is, 80% of our society are friggin' morons. And when you open up the gates for influence, you will have a lot of turds walking through some ridiculous gates.

People are tuned into politics 24/7 and think it’s a productive use of their time.
Also, young people have always loved pissing off their elders. Nowadays it’s super easy.

Social media.
Tumblr.
Being serious, tumblr allowed trans bloggers because their stuff was deemed medical instead of pornographic. It became a big space for the intersectional bs that females spew.
Most of you dont know this because you arent females that were on tumblr.
Just search trans and tumblr.

Tumblr was a trans technology: the meaning, importance, history, and future of trans technologies

Building from previous researchers’ conceptions of queer technologies, we consider what it means to be a trans technology. This research study draws from interviews with Tumblr transition bloggers (n = 20), along with virtual ethnography, trans theory, and trans technological histories, using Tumblr as a case study to understand how social technologies can meet the needs of trans communities. Tumblr supported trans experiences by enabling users to change over time within a network of similar others, separate from their network of existing connections, and to embody (in a digital space) identities that would eventually become material.

Its a fake existence. "Communities" exist online, not in reality anymore.
Social media paired with 4th wave feminism was the spread of insanity, not Hippies.
