Cartoon posted:Not all of us did but the poo poo smears that didn't 'fight the man' really got fully entrenched in the capitalist dream and a decent proportion of the hippie movement were just following fashion anyway. Add a pack of free love brats and suddenly you are embedded in a suburban brick venereal and view the world as a zero sum game. On a bit of a positive, I just got back after ten sweltering days at Woodford Folk Festival and it was inspiring to see so many progressive and radical older folk. The hippy dream is obviously still alive out there, but it's drowned out by the sort that Cartoon is talking about. Less good (something I noticed at a few of the talks there and Cr Jono Sri pointed out in his talk): there seems to be a concerning shift toward isolationism and anti-immigration among notionally Left people, couched in the language of sustainability and environmentalism.

Side note to all this terribleness: I just moved to Canberra and know gently caress all about this city. So give me your hottest ACT takes.

thatfatkid posted:Ugh Bob Brown is such a milquetoast liberal, i wish he'd just gently caress off. I look forward to The Greens further compromising their values and becoming yet another soulless husk of a political party with no other goals than get elected. In my experience, hardcore Labor voters like Lee because she's a committed Parliamentary Socialist who doesn't compromise her political values.
