One of my number one pet peeves with respect to western perceptions of Buddhism is that it gets treated as either a minus sign in front of the Bad Bits of Christianity or as Generic California Hippyshit, neither of which take actually-existing Buddhism into account.
Buddhism isn't something you can project your perceptions on. It is a religion with movements and reactionary waves like all the others

Throwing paint in a protest is peaceful. Just look at Holi Festival. Get some tempera paint like in Kindergarten, throw it in the air gleefully. Those with shields & visors get blinded with love & color, those with no such protection just get colorfully loved.

Now talking about Apollo and the full circle, which is of course my entre into this essay I wrote in 2017, but is about thwarting fascism and coming together as one planet, one people.

125. SNAKEDANCE. The Dr faces off the Mara with help from
Killer Bob. Genuinely good story and plotting, great performances. Ambril is the sort of antiquarian that MRJames would have cursed. It’s all a bit hippyshit at the end but can’t be too rude about this one because it’s too good.

Some of my finest hippyshit: Tim Blake's New Jerusalem. Gilli Smyth's Mother. Moorcock-era Hawkwind. Dire stuff. I like it.
Just realised that "space whisper" is a precursor of ASMR, which is also awful.
