"Peaceful" Protests

Hippie culture was primarily dominant in the 60's and 70's while the United States was participating in the Vietnam War and was dabbling with Nuclear bombs a little bit. Hippies believed that war was unnecessary and that all should live through piece and harmony. They hated large corporations, protested war, marched for rights, and were largely vegetarian, eco friendly, and promoted the use of psychedelic drugs. Millenials are still doing every single one of those things except instead of protesting the government and capitalism. 
==March for Our Life ==
Many people say that millenials on college campuses are today's, "hippies." could actually be true. They march, riot, try to eat well, some hate mainstream media and prefer to find alternative methods of culture, there is a lot of weed and capitalism is still hated. Marijuana being legalized has really helped the psychedelic aspect of being a hippie. In our society, so many people smoke weed that you are practically not human if you don't. That is crazy. After many events such as school shootings, police brutality, the gender bathrooms debate, and the feminist movement, more and more people set out to protest and march for their rights. This a good thing that they want to speak out against a supposedly oppressive government. 
==Just Like Them==
Marching and gathering is a staple in hippie culture. in the 70's there was a large demonstration right in front of the Washington Monument, now there are movements all over college campuses, the March for Life, the pride marches all over the United States. The rest of the world sees us as a divided nation but fail to see us when we gather. The 60's and 70's are alive and well again, and there is not going back.
