          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

    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)

    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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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!

        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.

    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.

    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.
