infinite zest - 2015-11-16
Ugh.. I've lived with so many Burners and Rainbow Gatherers over the years; Mostly what it meant for me was doing a bunch of their dirty dishes while they were gone "on tour" so the place wouldn't get infested with ants or roaches :(

Nominal - 2015-11-17 Mine was them constantly making big purchases for themselves (recreational art supplies, 0 guitars) with that month's check from daddy while leaving 3 months of their utility share unpaid.

Void 71 - 2015-11-17 My wife and I are on very friendly terms with a couple who are deeply involved with Greenpeace. They have all of the surface-level trappings of hippies, but they're actively engaged in real-world animal rights activism, and they both have days jobs. Through them, we're met other couples who are involved with Greenpeace. Some are hippieish, others aren't, but all of them are serious about what they do and motivated enough to spend most of their free time doing it.
But yeah, trustafarians and Burning Man-tier hippies are nauseating. The area where I currently live is bursting at the seams with the former, and I wish they would find another trendy area to infest and take the hipsters with them.

Every time.

Old_Zircon - 2015-11-17 I actually take this stuff on a case by case basis because I think most of them have their hearts in the right place and some of them are actually oing really good things with their lives.
Part of the difficulty of the whole "brotherhood of man" thing, though, is that you open yourself up to getting flooded with assholes, but I'd take the Rainbow Family over most of the audience at a Dropkick Murphys show or a TED talk, for example.
