I think this is part of where the whole "you get more conservative as you grow older" idea comes from the older assholes. They had some level of leftistish ideas as youth around "free love" and "let's do drugs" and "end war" but then later adapted themselves into the libertarian small business tyrants and other shitheads that they are today. Because the hippie movement was more about rebellion and personal satisfaction than communal benefits.

I think a perfect contemporary illustration of this is how easilly modern Q-type conspiratorial thinking got to the Star Seeds / New Age types through things like Save the Children. You get all these (correct) ideas about high-profile sexual abusers and traffickers, and the correlation between wealth/power and depravity; "solved" through liberal-style protests and the posting wars.
