Gathering of 10,000 hippies in forest shut down as Rainbow Family threatened with jailwww.usatoday.com The Rainbow Family gathering, an annual countercultural festival held since 1972, has been ordered to leave a Northern California forest this week,

I didn't know those were still a thing - somebody invited Me to one when I was in college...I was like "nope"

I guess it's always been weird to Me how exhaustively European history has been documented yet they only seem to "cosplay" it alongside basic American racism. It's like this place says U can't BE ok w/ being yte- unless it's ANTI- others, so they cosplay US amongst THEMSELVES. In other places too🤔

They need an "other" to really get that golden years of racism itch scratched

I've gotten stuck next to their "warriors" before, it's a cult, and like really weird with it, and really gross towards Natives, very German

Remember that time a bunch of skins got invited to Burning Man while they were at Standing Rock Chase had people deep in acid trips and k holes touching his drum lolololol

Didn't they have a YouTube of it?

Yeah but I can't find it now The one I'm thinking of ended with a younger woman just saying fuck it and checking out the rest of the festival after all that went down

Sad when historic events are lost to time

It is fascinating how the USFS handled it in the West versus what we see in the East. West - declare a temporary closure and move everyone out. East - "minimize adverse effects" and "work with them on getting a permit". E.g. www.fs.usda.gov/detail/white...

I’m sorry. Their claims to _WHAT_? And to be clear, I’m not asking you to explain, I’ll go look it up. I’m just registering my sheer holyfuckededness.

knew about the German/EU folks who cosplayed NA tribal folk which “don’t you folks have an indigenous tribal history of your own you could re-create?(they do), but the Rainbow Tribe stuff, wow, that’s just full on erasure. “We’re inheriting tribal traditions!” “Really? Which tribe?” “…all of them?”🤮
