The emo to hippie pipeline
I would like to be a hippie, all flowers and kindness and such, but unfortunately the state of the world has made it so I must be incredibly punk. The ideologies are similar and share a lot of roots, but, the hippie mindset can only get you so far-- you can't put a flower in a gun that has already fired into you. You can't sing a song about peace and togetherness when molotovs are more appropriate. And it's hard to be homeless in a I love nature way when the earth is being destroyed to the point that I don't think there's much nature left. All of my friends are at a constant threat of being homeless, and, I want to make a sweet little commune somewhere, and have a garden with vegetables and a chicken coop, and play a very random assortment of instruments around a fire-- but here we are, needing to scream and cry and protest with our faces covered and our phones left somewhere far away and wear non descript clothing and know that we will probably be arrested. Here we are, needing to spread resources for health care that has been made illegal through zines and graffiti on bar bathroom stall walls. Here we are, unable to walk barefoot to feel the earth, because we must wear combat boots and running shoes, because we are being hunted.
