Nothing to do with being hippies but about not chasing money and consuming unnecessary things.
You can argue that poor people tend to have the most children and the government picks up the tab and the poverty cycle continues. Socialists should think about that one more when they talk of extreme consumption. For me it works for the top and bottom, but many bleeding hearts ignore the problems caused by those at the bottom. If you cannot afford something then you don't have it. Granted everyone needs a home, but do you get a mansion because you have 10 kids and are a burden in a world where 90% of the ocean stocks are gone? You have to get real at some stage.
Never heard you use the term "Bleeding hearts" until very recently. Admittedly you have left the Americanism ' Liberal ' ending off it, but still. You used to be your own man. Very few people have 10 kids, and even fewer have 10 kids and then get given a mansion. The guy in the Video is absolutely bang on, and not at all somebody who you could call a bleeding heart liberal. Sounds very much like a socialist though. One who opens up by telling everyone he came to the conclusions he did, because when imprisoned, he had nothing but time to think. Anyway you can go back to sticking your fingers in your ears now, and telling someone whose life experience and wisdom is unlikely to be matched by you or I, that
"You have to get real at some stage".
