Your archive sucks
I think you get to much riled up with the "hippie" thing.
Both were professional that worked in well payed jobs stateside. They took a extensive holiday to see the world. I guess here comes envy into play.
It is a very white, European thing to wish to discover the world. I travel quite extensive for leisure (Lonely Planet, Rough Guide style) and most other similar travelers one meet are of European heritage, Americans, Australians and Europeans. You wont meet many Japanese or other non-European people doing the same and I'm not talking about year long journeys, but some weeks of you annual holidays. I know Japs don't take holiday that would be amoral towards their company
I did read about the attempt on their life before in the press and assumed it was an organized bicycle holiday, because it was large group of cyclists.
As for them being naive and brainwashed, sure to a degree, but hardly more than a large part of the population of the western world.
It is painful stupid to read someone writing about evil as an invented concept, just a misunderstanding. "Can't we get along?" Particularly by someone from such a peaceful country as the USA is. They must have lead some pretty sheltered lives.
Tajikistan might be the shitiest of the Stans, after Afghanistan, but ISIS territory it is not, less so than London. England and France might be, are in fact much more dangerous places than the ex-SU.
THAT is a tragedy of the western world, Europeans wasting their lives.
I know some real hippies, that traveled the hippie trail to India through Afghanistan, today totally impossible, with their child! They had three children together, not so bad, compared to some neets blaming the boomer, in their basements, crying into a pillow. Then was a total different time and millennials have no clue, maybe only a hint, how much worse the world is today compared to the height of cold war.
Particularly stupid to waste that much money. They could have been culturally enriched by illiterate, inbred goatfuckers in their own country. No need to travel!
