The video asks the question are Hippies Doomers?, and pairs up "Hippy Doomer" to consolidate it, but in fact true Hippies of the Whole Earth Catalogue-Back to the Land movement of the 70's were the leading edge of the Doomer  psychological mind set.  So it's kind of redundant.

Hippies of this variety were most concerned with the environmental issues outlined by Rachel Carson in "Silent Spring", they were anti-capitalist and anti-consumerism with the "tune in, turn on and drop out" philosophy of living poor and not working rat race jobs, and self sufficient starting communes like The Farm in Tennessee.  I did several interviews with Albert Bates, one of The Farm's founding members on the Collapse Cafe, my video arm of the Doomstead Diner doomer franchise. lol.  8) The Farm is still in existence and Albert is very much an active Doomer himself, though The Farm has morphed over the years and got a bit touristy in order to survive.  You couldn't just run on Peace, Love and Understanding for the last 50 years, it took money too. lol.

Here's an interview I did with Albert back in late 2013, a little over a decade back.  Haven't spoken to him in a few years, hopefully he's still above ground:
