I would definitely prefer to live in less interesting times....

I'm not sure if I should hope for a quick or slow collapse. Can a house of cards collapse slowly from a personal point of view?

Thats kinda how it goes. Long buildup, a quick period of extreme changes, followed by a long aftermath.

Let's just hope we don't get a dose of thermonuclear war added to the mix. I'd rather play a nice game of chess.

Do, did, people call them punkers? It was always just punks where I'm from.

“Punk rockers” was definitely a thing. I read “punker” as a shortening of that.

I never thought about this before but yes. The Vandals taught me this.

sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 279d

I've only ever heard it at the end of that one Vandals song about rednecks: "I couldn't make it as a punker."

In the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie Casey Jones asks Raphael if he's some sort of punker, and then states that he hates punkers.

I watched that movie WAY too much as a kid.

In German it’s common to call Punks Punker.

Early 2000s punks were quite prescient as well.

Since we're sharing. This is the song that 12 year old me first learned about Palestine and Zionism from.

The parking lot line is just. Well, fuck Zionism. Imperialism always comes back home.

Lived it, and now in my 50s. We were right then. But thankfully more kids are right today.

90’s punks tried to warn us too. NOFX, drop kick murphys and Rage Against the Machine

I've dropped this Propagandhi quote on Lemmy before but I'll take any excuse to do it again:

is this what we deserve

To scrub the palace floors

To fight amongst ourselves

As we scramble for the crumbs they spit up

Frothing at the

Mouth about the

Scapegoats that they've

Chosen for us

If they no longer

Represent us

Is it not our obligation

To confront this tyranny

19th-century leftists were pretty vocal about it too.

Except that guy from black flag turned out he was racist.

Rollins is an advocate for the legalization of cannabis.[110] Rollins has stated he does not personally consume cannabis[111] but views the issue as an important matter of civil rights,[112] arguing that its illegality is based in "bigotry and racism and financing the prison–industrial complex".[113] Rollins has shared his views on the subject as keynote speaker at the Oregon Marijuana Business Conference and the International Cannabis Business Conference.[114][115][116][117]

In August 2015, Rollins discussed his support for Bernie Sanders as a candidate in the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[118]

This guy is a racist you say? Bullshit.

Yeah Rollins is like angry Zappa

I can read the tattoo on his chest.

I keep having to tell people this, but Sons of Anarchy isn't real. It's just a television show. A fictional television show.

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 279d

A real fictional TV show.

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 17 pts · 279d (4 replies)

How come I can only find pics of this tattoo in Sons of Anarchy screencaps?

It couldn't possibly have been makeup for the television show about a fictional biker gang where he was playing a fictional high ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang named AJ Weston, could it?

I'm gonna need proof that this guy, who espouses anti-racist and anti-fascist principles with his words all the time, actually has this tattoo outside of hollywoodland, or I'm inclined to say "nuh uh."

(Pretty sure the upside down peace symbol is makeup too actually since I can't find that either. The Black Flag, Misfits, creepy crawl spider, Einstürezende Neubauten symbol, and Raw Power are however real.)

(Also I just noticed your name is a play on SatansMaggotyCumfart and, Bravo, flawless execution).

SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 279d (3 replies)

Is the Einstürzende Neubauten tattoo real though?

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 279d (2 replies)

Yeah, but afaik it's an experimental music group from the 80s that just happens to be German by nature of "being born in W Berlin post-war." I'm semi familiar with them but I just gave their wiki a quick search for "controversy" and unless you know something me and wiki don't, them being German isn't enough especially considering the founding members weren't even born until the 50s, I'll give them a pass for being -12 and -14 when the war ended.

What're we just claiming everything German is WWII even after WWII? Fuck Can, Kraftwerk, Amon Duul II, Neu!, and all that? No thanks, I'll cede my nationalism to you since I don't need it.

SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 279d (1 reply)

I probably should have realized this wouldn't be taken as a joke, but Einstürzende Neubauten has literally nothing troubling in their history regards to race afaik. I just happened to recognize their symbol.

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 279d

My mistake lol, I definitely missed the joke!

its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 280d (7 replies)

I'd fight Henry. I'd probably lose, but it's not very punk to shy away from a fight just because it's unwinnable.

foodandart@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 279d (2 replies)

Oh bloody hell, do you have... where is a high res of that picture? I wanna tat up Henry!

LOL! I love it!

its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 279d (1 reply)

I only knew it existed because I used to have the punk coloring book. It's a good place to start looking.

foodandart@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 279d

Cool, thanks!

SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world · 4 pts · 280d (3 replies)

I don't know I watched that man eat all the hot wings in Hot Ones without drinking anything or even changing expressions.

It actually might have been the only time I've ever seen him happy.

its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 15 pts · 280d (2 replies)

Good news, apparently that image is from Sons of Anarchy. Henry doesn't have a chest tattoo like that.

Eldritch@piefed.world · 6 pts · 279d (1 reply)

Are you sure about that?

The man told us that he's a liar.

its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 279d

Please don't make me fight him. lol
