Punk philosophy is generally against authority, and the Democrats have openly become in favor of massive state control. The only reason many young people support the Democrats is because they don’t try to control sex and drugs. They accept economic control in exchange for self-indulgence of vices.
At the same time they are teaching college "womyn" to blow their rape whistles any time a man says "you look pretty in that outfit".
It drives liberals crazy when I tell them that their slogan "my body, my choice" only applies to a few cubic inches of a woman's body during her fertile years. Other than that their slogan is "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State".
Liberals approve when you want to smoke marijuana for "medical" purposes. But if you want to take a common anti-malaria drug because it appears to work against the Chinese plague, you have an obligation to the State to die with your body unpolluted by HCQ.
Of the two major parties, the Democrats are by far the more authoritarian. And leftists plug their ears when told that.
When I was a kid the “uncool” authoritarians were on the Right. Today they are all on the Left and the Left is far more authoritarian than the Right ever was. I point this out to every younger person I talk to about it.
No, I am the rebel here. I am the one who is against the Establishment, who is against conformity, who is for free expression and personal freedom, etc. Some of them are taken aback. They don’t know how to respond because it’s clearly true....but it’s their language.
