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]
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).
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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.)

Is the Einstürzende Neubauten tattoo real though?

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."

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.

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.

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.
