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!
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.
American conservatives have been frighteningly effective at pushing this narrative that they are the outsiders, that they’re fighting against the status quo, so it doesn’t surprise me that they would steal punk.
They consider it a radical act to be straight, white, and Christian, when in fact that always has been, and still is the majority, as well as those who hold the money and the power.
From my perspective, this has been one of their most successful moves and it’s been brewing for decades - look at the tea party. There has never been a leftist or even liberal machine to rage against, but pretending that there is gets all the normies to feel special and oppressed at the same time, culminating in this fucking shitshow you have over there.
Fuck these Nazis
There has never been a leftist or even liberal machine to rage against,
I wouldn’t rage against him, but The Iron Giant is a pretty leftist machine.
Same with British conservatives …the media all push right wing politics, but it’s the left that are brainwashed. Does my nut in.
Lol good luck. Everybody in the punk scene has been calling out maga and Republicans.
Other than that cunt Johnny Rotten. Fuck him and his butter commercials. The sex pistols sucked anyways.
Danzig
John Lydon
Johnny Ramone
Are there any other the right can legit claim? I’m sure there are a few more, but this is all I can scrape from the top of my brain.
Good point. Got me thinking. Jerry Only AND Michael Graves are right-wing shit asses as well.
…???
God i hate Nazis trying to steal culture. And, you know, in general.
there’s a solution to that, you know. it’s really easy.
Yeah and punks are generally on top of it. Afaik punks only stopped actively hunting Nazis once the government got big on protecting them.
no, but, see, that means they have to hunt themselves now. meme said so. sorry.
Say that to a punk’s face. See how long your groin lasts.
Oof semi related, what’s the context of that photo 😬
The girl was a short lived meme back in the mid 00s called Moshzilla.
It’s a photoshop. The girl is from another awkward dance photo.
I cant remember the name of the community but it was in the title of one of the first I susbscribed to.
Im not suggest that the guy was in anyway conservative and dont get me started on the punk movement as a response to thatcherism.Oh was that from Photoshopbattles by chance? Back in the day that subreddit was the shit, with people combining all of the top posts from the last month into the most amazing chaos
Nah, it was something punk or music related but seems to be gone now.
I forgot about photoshopbattles - looking it up now.Edit: its dead.
No, absolutely not
Fuck conservatives and Nazis stealing words from the people respecting individualism
They already stole ‘libertarian’ and ‘freedom’ from us.
I’ll never give them ‘Punk’
Fuck those assholes
This! Most punks are from leftist countercultures. Let’s keep it that way.
(They are also trying to steal “anarchism” with their whole “anarcho-capitalism” BS)
NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!!
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”
No they are fucking not.
Conservashits talk shit about everyone and then try to steal their culture
Nothing says punk like the haircut on the poster at the barber shop in the mall.
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.
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…
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.
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
😢
I get making a bag in capitalism, but fuck these people even more. There’s a limit to making money.
