The entire thing is indicative of the failure of the hippy project to even contemplate enacting real change. You wanna change the world? Nah, take LSD instead, “don’t you know it’s gonna be alright?”.
The idea that any of these people genuinely believed they were doing anything other than assisting in the maintenance of the status quo is laughable.
Of course I’m not saying I thought rock stars represented the ideological pinnacle of the movement, but I’d claim that this sort of thought is indicative of the wider milieu.
There's an alternate history somewhere where all the hippies learned to use guns and homebrew explosives instead of rectally ingesting quaaludes.
Uh, a lot of em did. Fat load of good it did for em, hell probably helped Reagan win

The weather underground is the tip of the bloody iceberg m8. Read Days of Rage sometime.
There was like 4 political bombings a day in America in the late 60's-early 70's
From Time: "Weather’s attacks began three months later, and by 1971 protest bombings had spread across the country. In a single eighteen-month period during 1971 and 1972 the FBI counted an amazing 2,500 bombings on American soil, almost five a day. Because they were typically detonated late at night, few caused serious injury, leading to a kind of grudging public acceptance. The deadliest underground attack of the decade, in fact, killed all of four people" - Truly terrifying. Those fucking empty buildings got fucking OWNED.
Plane hijacking, bank robberies, weather shit was nit just weather fam. Read Days of Rage instead of wikipedia-ing shit

Steal This Book had radical stuff for 50 years ago, from shoplifting to starting local pirate TV stations to bomb making. There were definitely some real ones among the counterculture

The Puerto ricans, various radical factions of the black panthers, a group of blue collar bostoners with like kids and shit did it on the side, whole thing. Most groups were like you and your closest three mates if you decided to go blow shit up
