    Sure, everybody knows that.

    Punk ain't thinking for yourself

    Maybe he’s right.

    Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years. That’s a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.

    Green Day also didn’t encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the “patriot” MAGA idiots.

    It’s a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.

      I would be curious to see if people from the “counterculture” tend to have longer relationships/be more faithful than traditionalists… I know my ex colleague who spent February 2022 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa must have cheated on his wife with dozens of women…

      Is MAGA US version of United Russia? And MAGA idol US version of Putin?

    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.

        Satire is based in reality. They genuinely are pissed at green day, and politicians have walked out to RATM unironically.

          Yeah. Nazi punks have to exist for “nazi punks fuck off” to make any sense. Keeping that shit out isn’t really a once and done kind of thing, unfortunately.

      Brother, if you gotta ask that question you might want to take a good hard look at your own social media literacy. This is one of the most obvious pieces of satire I’ve ever seen. It has all the subtlety of a kick in the balls.

      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.

    I wholeheartedly support BJA and Green Day for the message of what they did, but holy shit I can’t stand to listen to their music. I hate that I have to now make a whole “I swear I’m not MAGA” preface to my inability to tolerate them.

      The American Idiot album is good and the anti-Bush aspect feels less political these days because everyone hates Bush now.

      Maybe I’m a suckered for a rock opera though. I never got into their actual punk early stuff.

      Nah, it’s a tiny bit of extra effort. Fuck Green Day, but Fuck Fucking Trump. It’s that extra bit that we’ve had to add on recently, like Fuck Hamas, but Fuck me, Fuck the fucking IDF.
