Kulturkampf

"In the late 70s and early 80s, punk was a genuine threat. ... What killed punk as a political force was the scene turning inward."


"Purity tests. Who's a real punk. Who's performing it wrong. The energy that should have gone outward, toward solidarity, towards collective struggle, got redirected into policing each other." 
Oh, so you want to allow transmedicalists and genocidal madmen like Jesse Singal who is fine with trans kids and sports and everything else but is "just asking questions" about the scientific evidence into the movement?

Punk and metal and all subcultures are about rebellion against the orthodoxy. When the rebellion becomes the orthodoxy, the mainstream becomes the rebellion.
