Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

100000%. I gather OldSoulHippie here traveled in the same or very similar circles around the same time as me growing up and we have seen soooooooooo many of these guys. I caught that vibe from him the first time I ever saw him speak. The dude just oozes sleaze.
Yup. Most likely. I went to my first hippie music festival in 2006 and my last contact with "the scene" was 2023 at a Dead and Company show. I've seen some wild shit. I've had a lot of great times too, but there are so many scumbags that dress the part, have a nice face and enough earthy platitudes to lure young girls into thinking they're so spiritual and wise. The movers and shakers of the jamband/festival world are for the most part absolute scumbags. The weird hippie capitalism that came up around what could have been a great place to mint leftists is really something to behold
There is like a 50% chance you have been in a crowd with my mom lmao.
