Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.

If we don't embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

Is there a conservative punk rock movement?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes.

It’s exactly as mid and soulless as you’d think.

I'm guessing they aren't very self-aware either.

They never are

the bigger thing right now is people being purposefully obtuse and treating "punk" as the same thing as "counter culture."

conservatives are using this argument to state that they are the REAL punks because they are anti-establishment (while somehow holding all branches of the government but whatever)

in their mind punk people change their political ideologies to whatever is the opposite of who is in power, and so clearly all existing punks had to flip to the other side the second obama was elected or something.

(I'm a second generation punk on both sides and my whole family would curb stomp these asshats)

Conservatives have never and will never be the punk, because punk is a counterculture movement against cultural conservatism, not who is in office at any given time. Punk has always been about cultural freedom, and conservatism is about cultural restriction.

One of the best examples of conservatives' superficial understanding of counterculture was during the 2020 elections in Philadelphia, when some Boomers wrapped themselves in flags outside a polling place and danced to RATM "Killing in the Name". They heard the words "fuck you I won't do what you tell me", and decided that it represented THEM, while discarding the rest of the lyrics and the entire meaning of the song.

They do this with all media, from music to books to movies and TV. Their understanding and interpretation of art begins and ends at the surface level.

It almost made me cry with joy when racists in UK were opossed by classic anti fascist punk guys with spiked hair during the riots last year. I hade no idea these guys were still around.

What do you think "Nazi punks fuck off" was for?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought it was for the conservative/neo-nazi/fascist fans I didn't think there were actual bands.

dead kennedys made it their opener at live shoes because neo nazis would show up to their concerts

Like the broader skinhead movement, Oi! was originally just a punk subgenre, but now a lot of people only affiliate them with fascists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oi!
