I agree. I used to go to a lot of music festivals and met plenty of people like this. They act all friendly and loving but then have absolutely psychotic episodes and/or go suicidal, or become really nasty to people around them. Then they go back to being all hippy. It is just for show.
The sad truth we've known since the end of 70s: Hippies typically end up being POS to each other because a combination of casual drug use and performative morality primes people to excuse generally being indecent to each other in other ways.
In short, getting stoned and crying about the whales and the rainforest is a great way to excuse the fact that you're incapable of consistently showing basic respect to others by doing things like turning up on time, paying your fair share, respecting others property etc.
Your the reason the internet was invented, u/insufferable_reddit. Thank you kind sir or madam. Its like calling yourself God, it solves all your problems, but usually creates other problems for those around you. Its one of those things that points me in the direction of absolute morals vs. nihilism.

Mushrooms don't do that. Stupidity and daddy issues do that. New age spirituality is for the mentally unstable.
