GalDrift culture

The Gal-Drift subculture began its development as a anti establishment movement around 2150 at United Earth and can be traced to groups of similar notions to the Earth subcultures like Bohemian, Hippie and Beatnick. It spread around the United Stars of the Galaxies as early as 2280 OTT. The core group has always been supported by the Kermac

Its fundamental ethos — including harmony with nature and the Universe, communal living, artistic experimentation particularly in music, and the widespread use of recreational drugs —

The Gal-Drift subculture has found historical precedents as far back as the Hippie Movement of Pre Astro Earth. Within the Gal Drifts there were many diverse groups and elements protesting the Union Military, the use of violence and weapons. The more radical elements joined such groups as the Children of the Universe, The Protectors of Gore, the Mamon Killers and the Free Spirits. These elements refuse to go to Union school,often defile and vandalize government or corporate equipment and venues. During the rise of the Peace Hawk movement, Kermac flags and cultural symbols were adopted as symbols by more radical anti-war protesters. However, the core "Gal Drift" philosophy remained staunchly aloof to the establishment, the Assembly,laws, Straigths(1), the military and all forms of civil service.
