It's the Climate, stupid

How artistic !

The contrast of the lush green hillside, with the dramatic contrast of the shiny black trash bags.

Where was that taken anyway ?
I went looking for an alternative life in the 1970's and time after time I kept coming across apathy, indifference, ignorance and sometimes stupidity ... all masquerading under the alternative or hippie banner.

In fact this was good because I had to learn to go my own way!

the "real" hippies turned into yuppies,today's hippies are just a bunch of unmotivated folks with poor hygiene and bad grooming...still better than trustifarians:rasta:
eating enough brown rice & fighting off body lice in close quarters living will make you want to earn some money...todays hippies are piss-poor copies of the originals and are not motivated by the same ideals of those in the 60s and 70s...

Kern River campers. Not just the “enlightened”. Nature lovers too. Here in lies the stench of defeat. On their own, people are pigs. You can spend your entire existence dedicated to a better world as you stumble through the trash of others. Be a steward to the land and they’ll build a Walmart in your honor.

You sound like Australian MAGA :biglaugh:
You sound again like you do not even know what MAGA really represents - the rape of nature. Get with the real world Hempy. You talk of your love of nature but really you are a weekend pretender; one of those stupid city people who show up to drink their fill, most of them leaving their mark.

In my own dialog…Bubbas (rednecks in diesel monster rigs and pull along campers with guns, quads/side by sides) and Barneys (overly liberal REI types with Outbacks or Prius and fancy never used gear)….I’ve observed over the years..after a while most outdoors folk fall into one of those two categories.

Then there are adventure dirt bags….not to be confused with dirty cult like hippies

New age witches are a subspecies of the dirty hippies

…and educated naturalist (includes wildlife photographers)
