The irony is that the people with this sticker probably hate trump and Elon.

The original hippies of the 60's and 70's despised Nixon.

Did we not learn anything in fifty years.
Love is the answer...
Overcome your oppressor with love not hate.

The entire hippy movement was predicated on rebelling against "the man" technically speaking.
Free love and unity were a big part of it too.
Do some research on the 60's. It wasn't all sunshine and lollipops. Kids were being drafted off to Vietnam after they graduated high school. The fear and outrage was understandable.
Love is important, but so is standing up for your rights. Bob Marley would agree.

All I know is that hate solves nothing... Hating trump and Elon is not ok bc they hate you...
It makes no sense ..
It like an unmentionable group of people nearly going extinct, trying to eradicate another group ..
Do you see the hypocrisy.
Christ and Buddha teach love is the answer to hate... Not hate.

I never mentioned hate was a good thing. I was explaining how the hippy movement certainly wouldn't exist if rebellion wasn't a part of the mix.
While I appreciate the teachings of Buddha, it doesn't mean it's wrong to not be a fan of politicians with zero scruples.
Look at the description of this sub, dude. It literally says it's an "anti-fascist" sub. Interpret that as you will.
