Nah. Fuck this.
Right wing movements may have stolen the words “libertarian” and “woke”, but we will keep “punk”, thank you very much.
Punk ass bitches
In the heyday of punk there were also fascists claiming to be punk. They got the shit kicked out of them then, looks like it’s time to lace up the boots again.
Hang on, I’m disabled this time. Can we have velcro boots?
You absolutely can, comrade.
Just like how Fox says they’re the most popular news network but at the same time are not “mainstream”.
Fox is legally not news. They are an entertainment platform. And nothing about what they say should be what discerning adults would take it seriously.

their ideals are not mainstream ideals, but they know how to grow their fanbase.
IDK, Ghost/Poppy/Sleep Token might not be mainstream, but they’re really popular.
EDIT : Why do I keep ending up bringing up these bands? I don’t even like them.
We’re like punks minus the woke hairstyles, the woke patched vests, the visceral anti-government messaging, and good taste in music.
Or empathy.
Empathy is a human feeling. Thats why everything works so hard to cut it out. Its not exclusive to punks.
They tend to think punks are simply the scum of the earth, and in that way they very much are punk.
Why did you have to remind me that PJW exists … also isn’t he british? The american flag? Why?
