Punks are alright. They know what praxis is.

Punks are the best, I wish there were more in government. In Canada we have Charlie Angus who is a legend (his band opened for the Dead Kennedys back in the day) but is sadly retiring.

Jello Biafra was relatively active in politics for a while. He's still around, but I've only really seen him making angry videos about Trump. Would love to see him jump back into politics.

Joey shithead is in political office as well

Chris Hannah from Propagandhi is my dream President, but he's Canadian and being a resident of the United Failed State of America, no way are they letting my ass have citizenship (no shade)

I've always thought Aaron McGruder low-key based Huey Freeman in Boots, even the hair is the same.

Welp that’s going on a playlist. Great song.

Great group: The Coup.

Their discography is top tier.

I gotta add Moon Walker's recent Monopoly Money to this thread

When I was a kid

We didn’t murder CEO's

They just gave us each a penny

And we did what we were told

They don’t care how many people

They watch work themselves to death

The only thing that they’re scared of is a bullet in the chest

It's the guy that fake cried on front of Moderators to dodge questions.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My permanent ban was for wishing trump's butt falls off. No really.
