“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

...or why the Sixties hippy ideology was doomed from the start to fail. The injunction from the underlying consumerist "dream" never changed.
"You Must Enjoy!"
Giving birth "culturally" to the Post-Modern Era in Capitalism's assimilation and transformation of its' dissent into new consumer products culturally laden with its' interpassive expression.
