any predominantly white space will make room for loathing of & violence against non white bodies and no amount of fist beating & all caps tweets will change that
white people in punk communities love to pretend that they’ve evolved past racism and conservatism but that’s how we got phil anselmo throwing up hitler salutes in 2016
you can’t ignore racism and fascist ideology into non existence but i guess the us is next up in the round robin game of totalitarian rule
there’s literal academic work on understanding the relationship between punk/alt communities and the spread of fascist/racist ideology lmao https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jpcu.12698
pretty sure skrewdriver is still churning out nazi lite punk songs some 40 odd years later so don’t tell me it’s “this generation” either
white people in punk show you 3 bad brains songs in their playlist & declare racism and fascism in the scene dead but go silent when people like mcclaren & vivienne westwood slap swastikas on some merch & call it subversive
anyway, fascism & racism thrive in the dark and what’s darker than punk
i knew it was out there somewhere lol see here where the dead kennedys acknowledge the existence of *checks notes* nazi punks
remember the skinhead movement was co-opted in the uk because working class white punks couldn’t be arsed to let black brits enjoy their reggae & ska in peace
i love receipts how about you
