Punks will do the most cringe shit ever and then follow it up with arranging a soup kitchen. Kinda wild.

This is what happens when your leftism stems from your life be an ongoing temper tantrum. It's not the worst outcome of what no theory does to a mf, or in this case often, bad theory, like whatever in the diy zine library or lyrics written by a teenager in the 1980s. Thats where I started as well but kept going, it gets less fun as you do and that's generally where the wall is hit.

Theory do be hitting my walls

In my experience, punks are pretty good at organizing stuff, often legit good stuff, but only on the local level and often mostly benefiting other punks and punk adjacent people. Like yeah they can throw together a pretty competent vegan soup kitchen but most of the people there are gonna be other crust-punk types. Which, hey great you're keeping each other fed but I don't see this blossoming into a larger movement anytime soon.

Having a pretty effective worldwide underground network just so broke people in bands can tour and for music distribution. There's a pretty small scene with a very good reputation where I am and we can haul in bands from Japan, Russia, Mexico, Columbia, Spain, England etc to our shitty Canadian burg which is a 12 hour drive to the next viable show cause we set people up well and generally bands make more than the travel costs, which can be rare.

Nvm, punks suck. Went to a show where causenof whatever IT stuff thentourong band couldn't make it, no word was sent out about it and I laid down $20 and took a day off work and when I asked where my $20 was going I was called a karen

It's cool and all but i think it has limited scalability

That is organizing though. The kind of shit we should all be doing. Honestly, what other kind of organizing is actually being done (in the US)?

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Some of the pro-Palestine stuffs been pretty good, for the US left I mean.

Yeah I consider myself a punk and I love these people but I'd really prefer if some of them would read a book sometime
