Literally talking about communists as if they’re Nazis holy shit
It's such a weird thing to be upset about. Nazi punks were an actual subculture, this is just making up a tankie to be mad at.
would love for Sasha to describe for us what "tankie" means :wonka-listening:
The punk scene isn't against authority and never has been, it's against a very specific authority and the whole point is being very cool with actually using violent authority to get its goals. Punks are not non-violent.
Imagine being punk and being like "I would kick Angelic Upstarts out of the punk scene" lmao.
The UK Anarcho punk movement has appeared! Cause yeah, that happened.
Good thing punks are all manchildren I don't give a shit about
The day I started becoming a tankie was the day I realized all the jacket pacthes in the world wouldn't make that world a better place
Yeah all the old punk guys like johnny rotten or rob miller are just chuds now or always were lmao
Rob Miller being a chud is one thing I didn't see coming. Granted, I never followed him closely, I was never crazy about Amebix, but when he got caught up in that shit with Tau Cross I was kinda just like "huh....interesting."
Crass had a super libertarian bent to them and the rest just copied what crass told them
Pretty sure trying to pull something like that at a punk show would get your ass kicked.
The guy who wrote "nazi punks fuck off" also endorsed Liz Warren for president if we have to discuss this
And the band he left is full on Biden libs
Believe me, no one is more disappointed than I am
Jello has been a lib since the start. Punk is libs or literal anarkiddies. Some grow up to be The Good Anarchists. None have read a fucking word of theory ever choosing instead song lyrics written by a 15 year old in 1982
Bit of a time lag between the first and second statement.
Also, Bernie was ready to endorse Warren back in '16. Warren had plenty of appeal on the Left before she eroded it away Kamala Harris style.
Jello endorsed Warren in 2020, well after she had already displayed herself as the hollow ghoul she is
He wasn't alone. She had a sizeable enough following to derail Sanders.
Tank Punk would be a cool genre
also I feel like punk politics just leads to "anarchists" like the drummer or whatever from Choking Victim breaking random women's arms and throwing them down stairs
Tank Punk would be a cool genre
RED METAL would also be cool imo if it were a thing
pretty sure everyone in seeyouspacecowboy is communist. more metalcore then metal but still
Thanks for the recommendation. I haven't heard them before. I'll check them out and get back to you.
EDIT: I like it 👍
Check out The Dicks, they were the first openly gay ML punk band (in Texas) that I know of.
Metal is the nazi genre and I'm allowed to say that because I like metal
You don't lie. Every time you hear of a new black metal band, you gotta spend a few minutes googling to find out if they're fash or not.
you dropped this but I also don't know how to make show up because markdown is a fuck.
\ . markdown is a mysterious beast. if you put a backslash before a character that would normally be invisible, it shows up, like typing \* asterisk \* to display *asterisk* , so you can also type a \ in front of a \ to make it visible, so \\ in markdown displays just one \
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is typed here with 3 backslashes to actually be able to see everything lmao
A for effort, no doubt. But globally? Fascism outlived Stalinism absent a few stubborn holdouts.
it's like they dont know that communism is actually SUPER COMPATIBLE with the punk ethos
It's like RASH actually meant "Red AND Anarchist skinheads" and they were part of the OG punk scene.
- There are no tankie punks.
- Self defense still isn't authoritarian
There are no tankie punks.
Don't talk about me like I'm not here
Physically ejecting everyone you decide is "authoritarian" isn't self-defense. Is the presence of a """tankie punk""" going to harm this person? I think this person is a kid, based on the tweet.
I mean anyone who wants to kick out anyone not a nazi from a punk show is a dickhead or a kid, so.
Using the "authoritarian" definition the original tweet probably uses , yeah i agree that self defense isnt necesserily "authoritarian" but historicaly and currently the vast majority of self defense struggles against imperialism, colonialism and domestic reaction (and even state power) in large numbers and scales (and chances of success) didnt organize along non-hierarchical manners, didnt avoid using "authoriatian" measures and aimed to implement change when and if they win by "authoritarian" ways
I guess this is skirting the line about sectarianism but aren't you literally like a trot or something? You're not that far off the "authoritarian" scale to the people who use tankie in earnest.
Would love to see one of these loser-ass twitter "anarchists" try to throw anybody out of any place.
Does anyone even know that Tankie is a reference to the 56 uprising in Hungary?
