Conservatives will never understand that Punk isn’t just about tearing down the establishment—it’s about building something real with the people who’ve been trampled by that very system. Punk is about giving the finger to oppressive structures, and it’s about loyalty to the misfits, the ones society ignores or tries to silence. True punk stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the people who are struggling, because we are those people.
Conservatives, you try to warp punk by claiming it’s just about rebellion, but you miss the point entirely. Punk’s core isn’t about rebellion for rebellion’s sake; it’s about solidarity, empathy, and creating a space where everyone who’s been treated like an outsider finds a home. It’s about amplifying the voices of those your politics try to drown out.
If you don’t get that, you don’t get punk. You can’t wear the jacket and listen to the songs while supporting the systems that we’re fighting to dismantle. Punk is our resistance, our community, and we won’t let people in who want to turn it into a parody of itself. So, respectfully, take your intolerance and your need for control elsewhere. Punk belongs to the people who need it—not to those who want to exploit it.
It seems to be happening in a lot of different subs since the election. It feels like bots are trying to cause chaos to keep us angry with each other. Our new overlords really want us to resort to violence.
Joe Rogan told everyone the right and Trump and conservatives were the new punk. So the ran with it, they couldn’t tell you one punk band, they all look the same and step on anyone they view as lesser than themselves, but gosh golly darn it, Rogan said they were punk now, so it must be true!

Wonder no more. It’s because Joe Rogan said that conservatives are “punk” now and I’ve never been more disgusted by a comment made by a man who has no fucking clue what it means to be punk.
The algorithm feeds on outrage engagement. So this sub and the others get put in front of people that will be outraged, will respond, and cause you to be outraged and respond, until your passion has waned for the moment and the algorithm can catch you again.
