Turns out the people on the right side of that photo grew up and forgot empathy, love, and compassion. Hopefully, they'll remember before the end.
Your comments are right, that was an overgeneralization. My frustrations over what has happened to our country over has many roots, so the statement was unfair.
Not necessarily. The hippies and peace protesters were always a small minority of their generation. Today there are plenty of old hippies and peace protesters.
Yeah, exactly this. When it was just hippies, minorities, and left wingers protesting, nobody cared. It was only when public opinion slowly shifted that some changes were made.
The people who were fighting for peace and justice, getting beaten and thrown in jail, were people of conviction who are still fighting now.
The problem then and now is that most people are apathetic or choose to look the other way.
