Hippie punching is a legitimate form of argumentation. It's always
hippies that subvert and corrupt noble causes into safe lifestyles. They
were the fifth column in '68 with polygamous patriarchal communes, and

Totally agreed.
Which explains Occupy's failure (yes, it was a failure). In the current
