Hippies

[Herr Tubthumper]

What's the point? I mean, what do they do, apart from nothing? What value do they add?

It's very difficult for some people to find anyone to feel superior to. For this small fraction of society, hippies make this still possible.

I can see your point, but for me, as a Guardian reader and member of the liberal elite, many groups in society serve this purpose. Not just hippies.

Yes, but as a member of the liberal elite you need to remember there are many who are fairly simple, cannot afford a Guardian let alone a skinny latte or manbag, and these people need to feel superior to somebody.

Obviously chavs were designed for this reason, but there is a flaw there. Chavs don't even realise they are being belittled or patronised, so there isn't an awful lot of satisfaction there. So this is why hippies were invented. Slightly more socially aware and yet less dangerous?

Chavs do not realise it, hippies on the other hand probably do. But hippies do not react. So again no satisfaction here either.

Mind you, if a hippy does react they then become a crusty. So maybe hippies are better off not reacting?

No,that's Tories.

I like at fun fairs when you get massive organised fights between chavs and pikeys. I never know who to cheer for.

*whoosh*. That went miles over your head, didn't it?

There's a hell of a lot of quality camping gear in that photo. When did that become part of the lifestyle?

Hope for stalemate and they wipe each other out.

Crivins! Has that hippie chick had a pole rammed into her bonce??

Hippies stopped being hippies in the early 70's, they now run the world as the Establishment.

You're never going to get the point. You work for The Man.

She was 14 when she was shot at by the Ohio National Guard. You can read her story here ...

Because the world would be very, very boring without a variety of groups and/or people?
