      I follow them on Mastodon. They’re my favorite source of the lowest quality facts on the internet, behind fox news.

      Who would say they want to uphold the patriarchy? That part would be covered by the “traditional family values” if they really supported the idea and they’d deny that there is a patriarchy (but only if asked about it, they wouldn’t bring it up unless it was a troll, and in that case I don’t think they’d start with a real complaint).

        I wish I could be that naive. Come visit red city USA, some people say the most interesting things. And when you meet women who expect it… yeah. It is a thing.

          Though in that case, wouldn’t it be a troll? Like I assume that those who do talk about it in a positive way are doing it specifically to piss off feminists. Or women who want to “virtue signal” to men.

          It just seems like such a weird way to approach that in a positive sense.

    Reminds me of Tom Morello’s response to Paul Ryan claiming his favorite band was RATM.

    I wonder what Ryan’s favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of “Fuck the Police”? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production? So many excellent choices to jam out to at Young Republican meetings!

    All true but Green Day hasn’t been punk since just before Dookie. If you want to hear Billy Joe Armstrong in a punk band check out Pinhead Gunpowder.

    Don’t wanna be an American Idiot

    Don’t want a woman on my news media

    And can you hear the sound of hysteria

    The libtards mind fuck America

    Welcome to a new kind of tension

    All across the alienation

    Where it’s man and woman married okay

    In television Dreams of tomorrow

    The F16 flyovers were meant to follow

    The American Anthem

    Its funny, reading this post outloud to a friend and his reaction was “if Green Day doesn’t support Trump’s campaign then I don’t anymore.” He was serious too. Sometimes the dumbest things can change someones mind.

      Yeah but like he could have guessed. Like I can guess right now that if I go turn on the sink and touch the water it will make my hand wet. Like I don’t know for certain but I am pretty God damn sure.

        As shown above he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and because he doesn’t follow politics at all it’s all word of mouth to him. His actual views aren’t inline with Trump’s

    Green day is still considered punk? Or is that part of the joke? (Serious question)

        Nah it’s pretty well defined - no, greenday is no longer straight up punk. Pop punk rock would probably fit them better now.

          I’m game. I’m 57 years old and I’ve been listening to music since before the sex pistols. Let’s hear the definition of Punk.

            Raw. Anti-establishment. Rebel. But also punk doesn’t give a fuck how I define it and punk would say fuck you for asking. But it would also share a half smoked cigarette and ask to crash on your couch.

            You’re right punk can’t be defined - all I can say is that Greenday isn’t anymore. Or maybe I’m a sellout.

              Sounds legit to me in my 50s now. I would add probably not having a large music label backing you and not giving a fsck about that either.

    Also “punk” is an excellent way to not swear! Because punk is also about punkin CHRISTIAN VALUES, you stupid motherpunkin’ punks!

    MxPx plays on a huge PA in the high school auditorium as he raises his arms over his head, fists clenched, salmon polo shirt collar rippling around his neck in the thick spring breeze somehow, even though it’s indoors

    Jesus was the first punk, you punks!

    crowd noise surges to almost painful levels, he walks off stage holding a large burning cross above his head given to him by an assistant. The crowd pulsates closer to him as he walks away, and he sticks out his tongue and gives people the finger… the ring finger.

    Frick off, you punkers! WTF!! What True Followers! LOL! Loving Our Lord! Thank you, good night!

    crowd noise recedes as they all begin clapping and praying in the distance. Cut to a car, him, driver’s seat, driving and Hawk Nelson playing in the car

    Punkin’ nailed it! Like our father to the cross! I’m so gay for that hot-abbed Jesus! Toga! Toga! Toga! I bet he had a great ding-donger on him. What a beseeching and beautiful man our savior was…

    pulls into his fraternity parking lot
