Is anyone here from October 18th, 2020 watching this after watching the Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix?
Just finished watching it....interesting fellow indeed.
19th but close 😅
Hi hahahaha
27th
October 30th 😁 too familiar to what is happening in 2020
RIP Abbie. Thanks for all you did and the memories. You were one incredibly funny bright and innovative guy
His intelligence combined with his sense of comedy was "out of sight." RIP
Who sadly killed himself
@@nadiashireensiddiqi Abbie was suicided. Murdered.
"There was this man, given a little talk, and for some reason, he was wearin an american flag for a shirt, and he liked to say the F-word, a lot, F this and F that, and every time he said the F-word, people for some reason, well, they'd cheer"
-Forest Gump on Abbie Hoffman
We need more like Abbie Hoffman, soon.
Well he committed suicide so I worry about that
@@nadiashireensiddiqi At least he let me Steal a Book.✌😎✌
Realize that fame is given, not earned. This was an orchestrated movement to destroy the family values of the 50’s.
Hoffman was a lying, actor-scumbag, probably serving Israel.

I was with Abbie and Jerry in 68 in Chicago at the convention, and I saw him in ny in the village st the Electric circus, Abbie has a way to make money easy, he taught me some great bhustles and trjcjs
occupynewparadigm well Abbie and Jerry were my street hippies they know how to get a buck
occupynewparadigm Abbie and Jerry sent kids out with buckets to raise bail money they would get 1.000 and bail out one kid for a hundred then split 450 a peice in there pocket, by the time the convention was CNN over they had a couple grand each
Ooh...and he was a thief too....
a great, heroic, cultural and political phenomenon. Helped end the war. Helped usher in the New Age. Helped us to look beyond material values.
Thank you for uploading this, the effort you put into this video helped me with my college assignment. =]
Great job! Finally, someone who gets it.
very instructive video, gave me a whole new perspective on abby after watching the chicago 7 on netflix
I heard of this..former colleges, babies hoffman, he's, a radical, to today..he's, still alives..ol ages, now 86s yrs ol now 2021s now chilling out..
Abby and I were friends for a few years before he died in bucks county pa ,, he was funny , sad ,, and brilliant,
There were no leaders, just ideas shared. Flowers in guns was beyond brilliant. And became an iconic picture, which did fit the tone of the day. Hoffman was in the 60s, what Milo could be today, Milo does the message well. But he does it without drugs.Not As crazy... I might be wrong, it takes a big clap to get people's attention.
Fantastic work!
This is awesome!
There was a big gap between Hippies and Radicals that the musicians and Yippies really helped bring together.
That they did!
Bring together???? In physical proximity maybe. In appearance maybe.
But beyond that, the dynamics are not really a coming together.
Let's leave musicians out of the equation for the moment.
Most long haired musicians (including myself) were real hippies.
Sincere about wanting peace and love and all that.
And most hippies were real hippies too. But not all, by any means.
But when you get down to "radicals" there are all sorts of weird variables.
So many, and so weird, that it's really impossible to make any true generalizations.
As for the yippies in particular, they were skilled at infiltration, and at influencing and eventually taking control over others.
But that's not the same thing as "bringing together".
It's more like vampires who are always looking to draw others into their world, but then they put an end to the world of their victims. That's not really coming together. If you let yippies into your group, pretty soon it's their group and its gone all weird and dark and evil.
Please, What did the video say 3:45? IE 'With the politically ???man ?ap'?
TY.
"politically driven left with the hippies' counter-cultural values"
@@Dave-ol7cc TY very much. At the time I just could not get what was being said. It makes sense now after reading your comment. SO TY.
No I take that back. The Court case was the apex of his theatrics.
NAW, THIS WAS MAINSTREAM TOO.
I don't think Abbie served any prison time at all because of being found guilty. I believe he and others spend time in prison during the trial...I guess because they wouldn't give him bail or something.
Paul Michael Glaser a.k.a abbie Hoffman...Michael Glaser..where's abbie?
These... people, are the ones who are teaching your children today its no wonder why university standards have fallen
Abbie, RIP, did not "lead" us. That is just medias only way to deal with things, every social movement must have leaders and followers because that's all they know. Sorry. Not what was going on. Abbie was the face, the voice, because he was good at it and gave the media what they needed to get us in mainstream media. He did not devise a way to get hippies into revolutionary politics, we were there, the State did that. He rode the wave and was a good organizer, as were Anita, Paul Krassner, and all the other initial Yippie organizers. We were a movement that did not feel the need to argue consensus with FBI plants (as destroyed Occupy), did not need someone telling us what we all knew was had in common. You may never understand this, you needed to LIVE it. Abbie Hoffman was a focal point and an inspiration, he was the lightening rod. No more no less.
Rest in pieces
There was nothing individualistic about being a part of the "counter - culture". It was as much a fashion as the mullet was in the 80's. It didn't last because the movement was full of hot air, and , again, fashion.
Oh but it did last. Where do you think we got Obama and Hillary?
Sure they looked more mainstream, but had the same underlying agenda to subvert and destroy the nation and lead it into Fabian socialism.
Exactly, they were entertainment only, no one took them seriously for long.
Who taught you that? If you weren't there, please be quiet.
@@ElixerSue How cute. Someone believes you must live in an era to have a perspective... I didn't live during the Holocaust but I'm pretty sure it was evil. Eye roll...
@@texasray5237 thank you for making me laugh
They scrambled to pick up $1 bills off the floor? Jes talk about sold your soul. What's the point in life after you find yourself in that situation?
That's wallstreet for ya...
Rip Abbie.Lets stir up some more shit people.
Having lived through these times, Hoffman was a first class Narcissistic Personality. The media made him into a hero. Hoffman was a master at manipulating people and the media. If you want to know what happened ultimately to Abbie - he committed suicide at age 52 in 1989. Be very careful whom you follow!
The fact that he committed suicide is not an indication that he was a bad person, its an indication that he at the time suffered from depression.
Hoffman was bi-polar. very depressed. Too bad he couldn't see his way to get some help.
What does the suicide have to do with anything? Van Gogh, Robin Williams, David Foster Wallace are they all not important people?
yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
I wouldnt add un to Orthodox to say different or abnormal.
Seeing as Orthodox is a corrupted version of the Greek to Latin word Orthos Doxa which means "The Right Belief"
So in essence adding un to orthodox to say unorthodox gives the literally meaning of "The Wrong Belief"
Protest then..was importants, why's, to let's indiviulas, knows..is times.. too open your's, eyes..is time's for changed ..or it won't changes.but the indiviulas, knews..goes to schools,.so needs knowledges, and otbrrs..needs skilled..both get infiviulas, n...these org, today's is a globals, is technological, is'nt a secrets..now..
He was a bum.
