Wasn't punk always woke?
conservatives and reactionaries either want to keep the status quo or regress, but they know the concept is super uncool so they have to do all these mental gymnastics to pretend progressives are the ones in charge (just by the virtue of slow progress through the decades) so by being regressive they're actually part of an anti-establishment subculture. it's wild, but you can't be conservative without seeing the world upside down so it tracks in a sense.
that's why some of them like bands like rage against the machine, not realizing they are the machine the band is talking about.
I kinda felt bad when Paul Ryan said his favorite was Rage and they dissed him of course. Would stink to have your favorite band literally hate you.
Was also like bruh how are you processing these lyrics???
you felt bad cause you have this thing called empathy, which Paul Ryan demonstrably lacks. fuck him and everyone around him.
That explains so much. I mean I'm saddened by a lot of the olde punks like Johnny Rotten becoming Trump heads. We still have Jello (Biafra) tho!
