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

Early 2000s punks were quite prescient as well.
Dead Kennedys always spoke to me.
Soup Is Good Food and Kinky Sex Makes The World Go 'Round in particular.
Lived it, and now in my 50s. We were right then. But thankfully more kids are right today.
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.
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If they no longer
Represent us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
Frank Zappa before that
And if your friends all bitch, you're a Punka (Punka!)
If your life is kitsch, you're a Punka (Punka!)
I'm a Punka too
everyone whos been through the last 3 republican administrations, know this.
All punks want to do is mosh and smell bad.
...and kick the shit outta fascists...
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.
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.
✨ Actors often play in fiction ✨

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).
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." 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'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.
Good news, apparently that image is from Sons of Anarchy. Henry doesn't have a chest tattoo like that.
Are you sure about that?

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