So maybe he's right?
Calm down.
Punk is always about being counter culture. If we deem MAGA a culture, we give it credibility. It's not culture, it's hate filled conspiracy mongering. Therefore it is also counter culture.
Edit: perhaps I should label the satire from now on.
This is satire.
Nazi apologists fuck off.
Perhaps you miss my satire entirely too?
Nice to meet ya.
Edit: Autocorrect for the win. Changed sweetie to satire.
Does someone tie your shoes for you, or are they velcro?
That is a great and aweful at the same time autocorrect.
Yes, it finds a way of creating new and fun situations for you. Ah well, the spice of life, right?
MAGA seeks to reinforce the status quo and the power structures that uphold it. They're a new iteration of white american culture. They aren't punk, they're anti-punk. They aren't counterculture. They're hyper culture
Punk fights bigotry, they speak truth to power, they help all comers, they put their lives and all that they have on the line for freedom and they break through social norms to live full lives.
Who the fuck in MAGA is doing that? They are bigots shouting lies and hate, trying to force rigid social norms, restrict other peoples freedoms, taking and hoard everything they can. They are raving mad mini thatchers, ripping milk out children's hands while trying to start a race war. What the fuck is punk in that?
Your basic premise is wrong. Punk is not about being counter to mainstream, that was just the appeal for many. Punk is about tearing down hierarchical power structures. And doing that loudly and not by conforming.
Yup, today I have learned what not to make satire about, but you're correct.
Maga punk: Love cops. Sees black guy kneeling in football games a disgrace. Supports Felon. Thinks pedos are disgusting except when it's Trump. Doesnt understand the lyrics to punk songs. Believes they're a victim because someone called them a bad name. Wants to protect babies with action but school shootings is thoughts and prayers.
Being an utter shit stain doesn’t make you punk.
Punk has nothing to do with counter culture for the sake of being a toxic shit stain.
If you think this is punk then clearly you don’t know the first thing about it.
This reminds me of the dip shit republicans who play “Fortunate Son” at their rallies thinking it’s a patriotic song not realizing it’s actually a song that calls out the rich for being pussies. How ironic.
