I’m all for a moderate agenda with universal basic income and single payer healthcare but none of that hippy shit.

    I always associate hippies with environmentalism and sexual freedom. You don't want that???

    I associate them with useless idiots who sit around in a park playing guitar in a circle rather than act.

    Give me Punks over Hippies.

    I associate hippies with body odor barely covered up with patchouli oil and body hair in places it shouldn’t be.

    They're a troll. Best to ignore them.

    They’ve had some pretty funny ones in the past. There’s a reason they’ve been around as long as me and never got permabanned. Kind of a swing and a miss on this one.

    I dunno, I think SMCF pretty much nailed it. Calling UBI and single payer "moderate" is a pretty big flag, and rejecting any "hippie shit" was a nice flourish.

    Yeah, ig I’d say the first comment is funny but the second one relies too heavily on unoriginal stereotypes. But ig the clever part is people taking the bait on the “moderate” comment, so gotta give em credit for that

    Tbf, literal feces can by definition not be woke.

    The definition being the original definition of woke, which is basically "aware of systemic discrimination and oppression, particularly but not exclusively based on racism"
