MODERATORS
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.
....????????
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.
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.
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.
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"
Conservashits talk shit about everyone and then try to steal their culture
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!!
No they are fucking not.
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.
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...

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.
Yeah, conservatives remind me of all those times I hung out in punk houses watching people eating dumpster dived food and stitch up deep lacerations with fishing line because they couldn't afford food or medical insurance.
