Did It All Start with the Hippies?

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?

Robert Bork claimed it started in the 1920s
Hmmmm... What event taking place in 1920 could be responsible?
Hint: I don't mean prohibition.

You do realize the 70’s and Regan era punk rockers were the anti hippie movement.

you can look at it from two different perspectives.
did it start with a war that was started for no other reason than to line politician and bureaucrats pockets while simultaneously broadening the reach of the intelligence community?
or the hippies?

I think it was broadcast television that created the environment for growth of competing and divergent paths of societal issues.
I wasn’t old enough, but have heard about the uproar over television showing Elvis dancing and that it wasn’t appropriate for TV and mass consumption. Broadcast allow a few groups to cast their thoughts/actions to many others and it spread from there. It was no longer contained to a town or region.

What inspired me to start this thread was someone mentioned in another thread that, 30-40 years ago, you didn’t see all the “trans” movement you see now. Where did this come from?

Why blame the hippies? Blame the parents of hippies why don’t ya?
But seriously I think it’s technology that is making people less social and glued to their phones. Pushing goofy propaganda weak bullish!t

This started wayyyy before the dirty hippies of the 60s. Look to Rousseau as a starting point.

The hippies of the 60s are now in their 70s, and all over Congress.

Wasn't it a famous American general that said we fought the wrong enemy?

For some reason most people can’t think past LBJ. But you can trace change back to the new phenomenon of youth culture in the 20s, postmodernism, Age of Enlightenment, Martin Luther’s reformation and the printing press, the Catholic Church. It’s all connected, and a part of modernity, the good and the bad.

Khrushchev was right about taking over America without firing a shot.

It was us allowing commies to infiltrate every facet of our society after WWII. They took root in government, universities, media and chipped away little by little until here we are. We should have kept heading east instead of basically stopping in Germany.

Research Magnus Hirschfeld, Sexology Institute of Germany 1919. This trash has been incrementally pushed for over a hundred years.
