Thanks for the insight, Skinnydipper2. While I have not participated in one of the parades, having seen the videos, and as I said in an earlier post, the psychedelic stuff and giant conspiracy theories was off-putting. And acccording to you, it appears to be counterproductive. Not surprising. Maybe you and some of the other younger participants could begin steering it into a more positive naturist direction and advocate simply for body freedom-- which is, after all, something the local government can do something about.
