"Entertainers" are SOOOOOO brilliant eh? Thinkin' rage against the machine with little tommy morello and assclowns green day should get together for a tour. Make sure there's plenty of cameras and facial recognition in use at the entry gates. And again, they wouldn't know oppression if it smacked them in the face.

So says ‘millions of dead cops’
MDC

The militant left is antiestablishment, not just antinazi.

Ask them to denounce Islamic terrorism, Communism, black nationalism, or brown nationalism and they will attack you.

[a fool in paradise]

To hear it from the Left
Nixon was a Fascist
Reagan was a Fascist
both Bushes were Fascists
Trump is a Fascist

6th grader name calling by a bumch of Communists is what that is

Rule 308 (three-oh-eight)

When Marxist mayors order their police to stand down,
So that Antifa thugs can beat old men to the ground,
Don’t think they’ve surrendered, or been run out of town.

Politicians should consider, and media bosses beware:
When Amendment One is abridged, the Second’s still there,
Just watching and waiting, like a rattlesnake in its lair.

When justice is perverted, and Marxist judges legislate,
When free speech is censored, then banished as hate,
Then the only rule standing will be Rule 308.

[Chipper]

Green Day is neither hardcore, nor Punk. They are LARP’ers.

This article is utterly garbage, #FakeNews, and revisionist history.

Of course some punks are diehard leftists. But even The Dead Kennedys who this article champions - no fan of Republicans - wrote California Über Alles, about when President Jerry Brown and other "zen fascists will control you...you will jog for the master race...". While you're at it, check out the lyrics to Holiday in Cambodia. The Kennedys were anti-fascist but

A search on FR for "conservativepunk" show about a dozen articles covering that movement. Indeed, Andrew Wilkow was a big force in that movement.

Former Misfit and current Undead leader Bobby Steele put it best:

Bobby cleared up the most popular misconception about conservative punks, "That we're Nazis – National Socialists. It's impossible for someone on the right to follow the teachings of socialism, which is a left wing belief. There's also a misconception that we're blindly following President Bush. We're not. If you were to read the opinions expressed at Conservativepunk.com, you'd see there are a lot of criticisms of the way things are being done right now. I'd say the thing that really brings us all together isn't so much that we're conservative as it is that we're sick and tired of being dictated to on how we must think to be punks. The left has consistently shown itself as the 'Thought Police.' We believe in the constitution, human rights, free speech and freedom of the press."

Right after the election, there was a well-written article on this topic called Is Trumpism the new punk rock?. In short, yes.

Trump may get lost in the details, but he gets the big things attitudinally right. Put another way: He may know only three chords, but Wattenberg says his followers hear the "right three chords."

I'd rather have a coffee with your average punk fan than your average Springsteen fan.

That is the absolute truth. Punk has been rebelling against Mommy and Daddy for so long its adherents actually believe the simplified “us vs them” attitude that pit them against their parents in the first place. They want to have a moral free society but want it to accepts punk morals. They are a little bit more intellectually sophisticated than progressives but, on balance, both groups exist as a hostile reaction to traditional Christian morality.
I have always had a soft spot for Punk. Lots of punk youth are idealistic and bright. They see themselves as black sheep turned off by hypocrisy and immorality. They are the Beatnik of the 50’s, my people.
The problem with Punk is its gullible acceptance of the mischaracterization of consertavism by the left. At its deepest, Punk is precisely what its spokespersons say it is, pro independence. It is in fact a tea party movement in both the old and the new expression of that fundamentally American experience. Punk and tea party are identical in ideology if not in expression.
Punk/Antifa needs to grow up and realize it is part of the movement that brought Trump to power for the express purpose of destroying the institutional racism and fascism built into our government and society by the Left. They are, quite frankly, being complete dunderheads. They need to stop being stoners long enough to realize not only do Mommy and Daddy love them but they - none of them - are bad people.
The Youngbloods tried to tell them but were dismissed as not dark enough. Nonetheless, “Come on people now, smile on your brother everybody ‘Get Together’ try to love one another right now!” IS what the punk experience is all about. It is hippie with an attitude. I know. I was king of the hippies.

ANTIFA is the epitome of a fascist organization....jackboots of the new Left.

[Dutch Boy]

I’m still trying to figure out what Trump has done that is fascist and why they can’t recognize that much of what they are doing is.

[Sasparilla]

...“No Trump! No KKK! No Fascist USA...
They’re doing one slightly different.
“No Trump. No Wall. No USA at all.”
This one goes directly to their ultimate goal.

Green Day is NOT hardcore punk. Not even close to punk.

[Cecily]

This definition does not sound like Donald Trump. He does not exalt the nation above the individual; he just wants better deals for America and the American people in the international arena. Race is a complete non-issue, no matter how much the lamesteams lie about Trump’s views.

Definition of fascism

often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

[cdcdawg]

Liberals are the real fascists! Democrats are the real racists! We just need to explain this to them. Learning this truth will cause them to feel shame, and reexamine their politics, and stop being drug addicts and perverts. Maybe Rush could do a few segments on this.

[The Toll]

I spent 25 years in the back of vans, touring the world submerged in this culture. No, Green Day had no imprint in our world at all. Yes, these people are a large part of who is behind those black masks.

They are completely ignorant of history and politics. They have zero understanding of issues or legislation. Their left leanings are Pavlovian reflex.

Their love of rioting is simply a fashion that fits their self image. That’s it. No more to it. It’s no different than a Mohawk or combat boots. It’s their idea of being “punk”. It’s the ultimate in posing.

There is no reasoning with them. They are stupid. As soon as there are consequences they will stop immediately.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, who wrote Holiday in Cambodia a definitely anti-totalitarian song, turns out to be a liberal anti-leftist who believes in free speech.

Even though I disagree with him on most every topic he appears to be a decent human being ... unlike the antifa scum.

[Garvin]

Green Day can kiss my a$$, they wrote a song in 2004 called “American Idiot” Never listened to them after that.

American Idiot, Green Day:

Don’t want to be an American idiot
Don’t want a nation controlled by the media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the idiot nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
Well maybe I’m the faggot America
I’m not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody adhere to propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the idiot nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
Don’t want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information Age of hysteria
It’s calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the idiot nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
Songwriters: BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG, FRANK E., III WRIGHT, MICHAEL PRITCHARD
