Controversial Opinions

[popvulture]

Saying the Dolls are bad is indeed controversial, so appropriate. But also, wrong.

Johnny only ever played the same solo over and over again. No controversy there.

the New York Dolls were rockist poseurs who desperately wanted to be the Rolling Stones, but didn't have the chops, the songs, or the intelligence to do. fuck that. at least the MC5, who also sucked, had a good sound...sadly, they also had no material.

That's cuz material possessions are like, gilded cages and government sponsored traps maaan.

I saw the dolls open for poison and that was fucking lame. Walked up the hill and the first thing I heard no shit was " mah-baaa-bayyy!"

it's time for leftist political violence to make a comeback in the USA. there's a simple solution to the Confederate statues problem, for instance: blow them all up like the Weathermen did with the Haymarket Riot police statue. don't vote them out, take them out.

also: America doesn't have a culture; it has an entertainment industry.

i had an interesting thought the other day. apparently, some anti-trans and generally shitty conservative types have been putting up sticker tags with razorblades underneath so that, when you try to rip off whatever hate-filled nonsense they've put on a lamppost, it cuts your fucking hands up. like guerilla shitheadery. what i find fascinating is that fascism isn't punk, or artistic, or guerilla. it's organisational, it's bureaucratic. it trickles down from the top, from the faceless conglomerates with all the money and from the shadowy manipulators in government. but fascists and bigots (at the level of the individual) have been made to feel marginalised and have co-opted the methods and aesthetic of liberal left counter-culture (because that's what's been "cool" for the past 60 years). I spose it isn't too different from the old nazi punks and national front skinheads (ska fans! black music and culture co-opted by racists! wtf!) but its fundamentally contradictory to be punk or guerilla and be conservative.

This is a good read as to why this is not as black and white as that:

But no one ever changed the church by pulling down a steeple
And you'll never change the system by bombing number ten
Systems just aren't made of bricks they're mostly made of people
You may send them into hiding, but they'll be back again

You may send them into hiding, but they'll be back again

not if you kill them, they won't.

How does one expect to have culture if rogue domestic terrorists are encouraged to reduce everything offensive to rubble?

Something something the real cryptofascist callously advocates for genocide of *approved targets*

TIL Robespierre was a "crypto-fascist."
