So yay on you for distorting it some more.
- kazinator 8y agoIt was distorted at the time; it became a popular slogan for throngs of hippies.
- groby_b 8y agoNo, it really did not. It became popular for the media and right-wing figures to claim it became a popular slogan. Quoth Wikipedia: "The saying then went viral, becoming a favorite for reporters and columnists wishing to ridicule the young, the New Left, or the hippie/Yippie movement" It's still being used that way. You're a shining example.
