Way to answer the question for me.
But to answer your question - that a fringe ideology would so quickly become a required one. That an ideological system would so quickly sweep and change the culture. And that those opposed would be handled so rudely.
I had always participated believing that it was about acceptance. Only to find that it was mostly full of the same people who treated homosexuals poorly looking for their new acceptable punching bag.
I was sad - when I stood in the middle of city and realized I thing that I had stood up for over 30 years had been achieved. And that it had wholly transformed in the process and become something else. It surprised me, and bummed me out that I was wrong. And that it was not the good thing I once thought it was.
I held out hope - but I was foolish.
The leadership of US medical of the last 25 years should be prosecuted, have their wealth taken from them, and their kin removed with them on a biblical scale.
The removal method? Guillotine
I had the realization that you really don’t have anything to say.
I get what you are trying to say. But this kind of low tier leftism is what makes people tired of us. They’re not the same thing, and you are sad for trying to conflate the two.
This is brilliant
My unpopular opinion? If you stand in the middle of a big city during Pride you get an idea of what Nazi Germany was like with the swastika flags.
Source I experienced this in the middle of Chicago a few years ago.
Let me ask it differently then - what group can you be that will get you fired?
Okay… Everyone likes to see themselves as the underdog. Based on the state of “influences” I would contend left leaning ones are doing it as well. Maybe it is the nature of having an audience? Or jockeying for authority.
I admire that. Good in you.
But yes punk spans boomers, X, and mil. Part of me wonders if it has a place in Z. It is sort of there - but my friends kids who present Punk are rather authoritarian on social issues and policy. On my side of the aisle - but their application is different.
Seems like some comments got deleted somewhere. But AOC didn’t mean Punk Kids as a movement, genre, or theme. It was simply the derogative punk. She could have said whiny, or drooling, quiet.
And your festival sounds cool. I stumbled across Defiance OH in Columbus a couple of years go. Been a fan ever since.
Hahaha - I mean. You called me a misogynist rape apologize and followed my comments in other threads. But my trolling eventually wore you down I think. But yes - fun - glad we can be pals now ;)
@[email protected] Okay - so what is it you are saying that you can be fired for? Being a Nazi?
@LittleBorat3 sorry - who are you talking about?
That… Could very well be why that person isn’t there anymore.
The TL;DR is you see what you see as counter culter, I see what I see as counter culture.
Again - we love to think of ourselves as exceptions/not like others. It feels nice and it is nice when others notice our uniqueness.
