my main conclusion from this is the only remarkable thing about "conscious hippies" is that unlike punk music, or boxing, for some reason it wasn't as simple as "ah i don't like that" → "don't think too much about them again" https://t.co/bDotiSSpqA

ive been avoiding events that give me the creeps, and it's felt weird and petty to say, "iii don't want to go to that, because it seems marketed that way" https://t.co/zBbrUenuvm

but as i think back to my asheville experience, and to the song circles i found in LA i most trust and love, none of them were marketed this way none of them had any interest in looking like this

it's confusing also because they *internally seem to model themselves* as the whole thing? and they say all these things that just aren't true? it was very confusing to me that people were saying these things that didn't ring true https://t.co/Nr1HFP8wNO

so many spaces will just make claims about themselves that's not true, and it's astounding to me at first - i just have to decide the thing they literally said is not true
