    I was just listening to this podcast ep about reactionaries in punk: https://soundcloud.com/subliminaljihad/97-guilty-of-being-white-dissecting-the-historical-susness-of-punk-feat-the-wub

    Dimitri and Khalid speak to The Wub (@the_wub_) about the history and deep cultural influence of punk rock, including: Lester Bangs’ “The White Noise Supremacists” 1979 article about racism in the CBGB/new wave scene, the 3 children of CIA bigwig Miles Copeland Jr. dominating the 80s music scene, the “young people are a class” psyop, hardcore kids spouting Reaganite talking points on Donahue, grossout king GG Allin’s intimate friendship with John Wayne Gacy, and the pernicious influence of the nihilistic dirtbag chic “punk mentality” on the western left.
