dude, why are you trying to argue with someone who is on your side that they are wrong, or are you just really insecure and need to feel smarter by whipping out some convulsed statement that sounds logical, but really isn't?

are you a big fan of trust fund hippies or something? Or are you just angry you couldn't be one? I've known quite a lot because I went to a college with a significant population of them.

    It does not matter if you are on my side if your going to throw out a generality like that. Im not an agree with you if your in my tribe kind of guy.

    every linguistic statement is a generality. by your own logic, you can't ever speak. because everything you sad is 'wrong and bad'. you ipso facto must disagree with every statement you make if you hold that position.

    'penguins eat fish' is a generality. apparently you find that very upsetting to you? lol

    See now you are just being disengenous. I was specific with "all x are/have y".

    and i was specific with the fact hippies are all well-off people who don't need to work for a living.

    again, where are the working-class hippies? oh right, there are none.

    in order to be able to not work, you have to have independent wealth.

    this is just another generalization and untrue. all hippies where well off people who did not not need to work for a living. patently false like all generalizations regardless of immigrant, jew, black, boomer, hispanic, gay, straight, hippie, etc, etc.
