[edit] Career
Hawthorne was an officer in the US Air Force and a Peace Corps volunteer.[5] He started at The New York Times as a copy boy and worked as a reporter in the Metro section from 1961 to 1970 before he left, divorced his wife, and "started being downward mobile."[6]
[edit] Philosophy
Hawthorne created a philosophy he calls oppositionality which is centered around treating people kindly even though you are in a bad mood. He has created his own following, who refer to themselves as 'hate campers'. He has influenced people to live on the streets.[7] He initiated a nightly 'Hate Camp' on Sproul Plaza where local people released their animosity.[6] On some nights, Hate Campers brought large amounts of random objects (including pie pans, buckets and sticks) to Hate Camp, these objects were then turned into crude drums.
[edit] Personal life
Hawthorne was married but is divorced.[6] He is homeless.[8]
