God i hate Nazis trying to steal culture. And, you know, in general.

Yeah and punks are generally on top of it. Afaik punks only stopped actively hunting Nazis once the government got big on protecting them.

I’m the real 4th Reich you’d be the first to go.

If anyone wants on deep dive into the topic, I recommend this video essay by Cal Does Life.
conservative punks be like “Nazi Punks Please Quiet Down At The Premises”
“Nazi punks stand back and stand by”
Conservative punks be like “I like Nazis”
The hair says it all. These people are fucking chonks.
Trey Parker makes one comment about saying you like George Bush is punk rock in L.A. and conservstives have been slowmotion orgasming over it for twenty years.
Most of those are not even that conservative as pundits tho, and have been caught by hot mics or admitted they’re mostly in it for the money. Which is, arguably, worse.
I get making a bag in capitalism, but fuck these people even more. There’s a limit to making money.
I would have maybe the littlest bit of respect if they had convictions for what they claimed to be arguing for but people like PJW and Milo are genuinely just money-driven ghouls.
If the guy on the right is Paul Joseph Watson, then he was caught on a hot mic being more racist than normal.
Edit: Which is impressive, given how racist “normal” is for Pee Jay Dubs…
Oh, that’s punk as fuck
edit: oh sorry: /s
Selling out is not punk
That’s like pointing out that it’s not historically accurate that Ghandi wants to nuke the planet.
Funny how so many old punks do it, then 😆
Being punk has an awful pension
😢
No they are fucking not.
Follow me here. Society has become very accepting, and progressives have been very successful in the long run (as is the norm). That makes being a conservative “counter-culture.”
Society is still addicted to hierarchy. Punks are against hierarchy. Conservatives fucking love hierarchy.
Conservatives may be counter culture, but they will never be punk.
Society is still addicted to hierarchy
You make it sound like its gonna change somehow.
It’s not. Humans are the worst. Only option is to leave society.
Why are humans the worst? Most animals have hierarchy. It’s the most natural thing. Why are you trying to escape it?
Have you met humans?
Yeah. Are you suggesting that I should be instinctively repulsed by the nature of humans?
I am.
Also, you don’t get to call yourself “counter culture” when you are in charge of the most powerful country on the planet.
Well, being in charge doesn’t mean you are aligned with the majority.
Also, you don’t get to call yourself “counter culture” when you are in charge of the most powerful country on the planet.
You do when you have a massive victim complex.
You don’t get to, but you will anyways because you fucking suck.
not all counter culture is punk tho. Granola hippies are not punk by any stretch of the imagination. Neither is anyone who has ever stepped foot in a Brooks Brothers store.
The fuck is a Brooks Brother store? Sounds like some WASP yuppie shit.
Oh buddy. It’s THE store for WASP yuppie shit.
So mind if ya give an elaboration about it? Cause the name doesn’t exactly give away too much, like maybe it’s some weird Spencers like store or it could be a clothing store just off of the name.
It’s seriously just the clothing store for the button down crowd. Been around since the 1800’s, an American institution. Just go to their website, it’s yuppie clothing 100%
That fucken Brooks Brothers looked it up an yeah I’m gonna stick to Duluth for my white people clothing. Also for some reason I was not processing that it was connected to the Brooks Brother riots.
I wrote my own comment before seeing yours. I see what you are getting at, but this is all theatre. Straight white Christians still hold the power and the wealth, it just suits the oligarchy to pretend they don’t.
But even if they don’t, the counterculture was a push for freedom and the left may sometimes be incendiary and contains its issues with how we interact with hisrorically prioritized groups, ultimately we’re not saying that people shouldn’t be allowed to be straight or white or Christian. What we’re saying is that straightness, whiteness, and Christianity shouldn’t be prioritized over others. Christians are the harder group to reconcile with as many see the right to oppress as fundamental to their religion, but outside of that nobody minds that Joe believes in Jesus if he’s not making it our problem
Nothing says punk like the haircut on the poster at the barber shop in the mall.
I SHOT REAGAAAAAAAN
They keep saying that and yet they refuse to build systems of gutter trash mutual aid, which any punk knows is the foundation of every punk scene. It’s a bunch of 20 something alcoholics crashing on each other’s couches, running books to prisoners programs, and taking on so much antifascist labor they crack under the pressure.

Republicans have the Presidency, the House, the Senate, a majority on the Supreme Court, a majority of state and local legislatures, and a cabinet full of rich billionaires.
Republicans: We are punks fighting The Man!
