Notes
The dating is presumed because of the inventory of free services listed on the reverse side, which would have reflected the level of Digger activity after six months or so.
Abstract
This (recto) sheet reduces the Digger indictment to a visual and verbal blast, repeating “here is your answer” until the answer from City Government, merchants, and the machinery of success becomes unmistakable: “FUCK YOU HIPPIE.” The page uses typewriter graphics, scattered words, dollar signs, and a word-flow diagram to show how the official and commercial response to the Haight translated into busts, harassment, jail, suppression, and fragmentation. Its attack is not only on money but on the whole chain of values—work, success, control, profit—that turns living energy into managed social order. In its compressed form, the sheet reads like a diagram of repression, with “no freenow” as the final negation of the Digger demand for free space, free food, and free life.
