The great thing about this photo IS NOT that a 17-year old @jordanbpeterson is in the red hard-hat on the right. Nope. It’s the bearded bro in in the middle wearing a Rambo-style headband and that “fuck authority” tee-shirt who manages to capture our zeitgeist 44 years later.

I was a 1-yr old at that time For those replying: I think not that it matters whether bearded bro is still representing The message lives on The fact that his photo is pleasing to us today means he did his part back in time, whether he realised it or not Time is not linear 😉

@MaajidNawaz I used to blast that song as well and I realized recently that it should be interpreted as "fuck da police state and all who perpetuate it". We have to be discerning in our attacks. "Know your enemy", otherwise we alienate a lot of good allies.
