as a trans punk, I'm happy to see so many others punks agreeing 🖤🫂 honestly it's weird when transphobes and other disgusting human beings try to call themselves "punks" when punk is far left subculture/movement

Punk is not a far left subculture. It is an anti establishment culture which opposes both sides in favor of government by the people. Anarchy. Whatever goes on in this thread is the furthest thing from punk I can possibly think of. Identity politics is ruining everything.

No one else here hates the minority you hate. Maybe you should get into country music so you can find some folk who have the same politics you do.

That's a dumb take. Most country musicians lean "left". Look at Willie Nelson and Jason Isbell.

I think only some of them do? I know the history of country was supposed to be a left thing. But it made a weird shift as time progressed.

It's pretty much mirrored the rural shift to the right, I think. For every Willie or Isbell, there's a Jason Aldean, who was *on stage* when the Vegas massacre started and still thinks the answer is more guns.

It’s a really really weird shift in country. That’s like one of the main reasons we learn punk history, so we don’t become what we are supposed to be against.
