i have been here long enough that i can be myself.

i am what is the sort of punk that establishes a continuioty from the days of the Dead Kennedys, the birth of antiracist action and Unity Cognition and other REAL american punk street scenes -- and the current days of the new infoage. if someone wanted to call that a cyberpunk or a cypherpunk they would be half right. (cypherpunks are more into the opencode issues. i am not a programmer.) i don't have any plug jacks in my skull either.

the point is that even the first cyberpunk authors were genre-oriented -- they admired punk rock from the outside, not really understanding the music or the scenes, or the dubious politics. but anarchist emma goldman who lived before punk rock or rock, even, the anarchist who provided birth control information and thus got herself impounded, busted, deported in the Red Scare -- she was anarchist before there was Rock Music, let alone punk. I am like her.


this boggles my mind when people look over the deep information of the above several statements and not only don't get it, but take time to SAY "what is it?" but it is the nature of the totalitarian beast bent on conquest and rule -- that it decieves as many people as it can, and then -0-


when it is a known liar, simply doubles up and lies more intensely.

as such punk died, but most people don't really know why. punk died because capitalism and socialism did a one-two punch on it --

capitalism co-opting the spirit of the music, diluting it, getting copies and blacklisting the real thing --

and socialism hitting in the street scenes, infiltrating wherever there was unity and creating conformity via peer pressure, the sort of conformity that neutralizes love. (or sends it elsewhere to go on being itself. Longtime Kr people will know exactly what I mean -- but most, because THEY WERE DOING THE BANNING AND ENFORCING, will not admit it and might even step up here and call me a liar. they are welcome to do that, and other stuff too...like fucking off. i can still say 'fucking off' here, as in nazi punks fuck off -- right? it does take the pressure off, cause, well, i have been here that long as a stoic nirvana and newly found hole fan, and i just have to say that, in the words of the great song, that was on in the last year i ever forced myself to pukishly, vomity central tune in mtv, "who sucked out the feeling?"

there is a set sort of mentality that just says like a damn robot

"this is just another inane, pointless rant from x"


denying that a thing has any point or coherence
doesn't remove the point or the coherence, but the goal
is peer pressure, the goal is forcing conformity of attitude.

today is a great day. i feel fantastic because of the contrived and fake statements of George W. Bush. I have noticed on the boards that people of the mainstream lame dream are asking questions like anarchist punks were asking back in the mid 1980s and that is good for freedom, spontaneity and liberated attitudes, all the things that the FASCIST GOP is known to Hate.

i hated the skinhead wars.

the original bald punks of britain were a lot like sinead o'connor, and the nazi american is a lot like the nazi punks who were racist and socialist in britain. but we all have to know that punk started in britain,

those original bald punks were into class UNITY rather than classist domination.

classism is the same as racism, except of course today,
mainstream americans are realising that the owning classes
don't consider them human in the same way that racists
of the slavery period in america didn't consider indians or africans human.

the skinhead riots of Brixton, legend has it HEY LISTEN UP this is really about punk rock. Johnny Lydon would know what I am talking about and that's the, uh, bald -faced truth.


but i have a beard now. I am no longer a skinner but I am still against racial prejudice as were many MILLIONS internationally of the brothers and sisters who constituted SHARP and SFU - skin heads against racial prejudice and skins for unity.

as opposed to what were called 'bone heads' or 'shit heads' with a sense of understanding of the cruel stupid dishonesty of all racists.

-=-

the riots started around the time that wearing different colored suspenders and bootlaces began.

in a bar fight when there are lots of bald heads, gangs, strangers throwing punches and wielding shivs -- people couldn't tell who was one of their comrades, so the nazi punks who shaved their heads,

for the same reasons kittyradio got divided, the STAR got booted and all of her real fans, with few execptions no longer play here --

they took to wearing red suspenders and laces so they knew who to kick. this was in the eighties, before and while 'new wave' was beginning to happen.


punk evolved like any other art form. you could form an art history submajor.

A+ for the GIFS.
