Follow me here. Society has become very accepting, and progressives have been very successful in the long run (as is the norm). That makes being a conservative “counter-culture.”
not all counter culture is punk tho. Granola hippies are not punk by any stretch of the imagination. Neither is anyone who has ever stepped foot in a Brooks Brothers store.
So mind if ya give an elaboration about it? Cause the name doesn’t exactly give away too much, like maybe it’s some weird Spencers like store or it could be a clothing store just off of the name.
It’s seriously just the clothing store for the button down crowd. Been around since the 1800’s, an American institution. Just go to their website, it’s yuppie clothing 100%
That fucken Brooks Brothers looked it up an yeah I’m gonna stick to Duluth for my white people clothing. Also for some reason I was not processing that it was connected to the Brooks Brother riots.
I wrote my own comment before seeing yours. I see what you are getting at, but this is all theatre. Straight white Christians still hold the power and the wealth, it just suits the oligarchy to pretend they don’t.
But even if they don’t, the counterculture was a push for freedom and the left may sometimes be incendiary and contains its issues with how we interact with hisrorically prioritized groups, ultimately we’re not saying that people shouldn’t be allowed to be straight or white or Christian. What we’re saying is that straightness, whiteness, and Christianity shouldn’t be prioritized over others. Christians are the harder group to reconcile with as many see the right to oppress as fundamental to their religion, but outside of that nobody minds that Joe believes in Jesus if he’s not making it our problem

Society is still addicted to hierarchy. Punks are against hierarchy. Conservatives fucking love hierarchy.
Conservatives may be counter culture, but they will never be punk.
Also, you don’t get to call yourself “counter culture” when you are in charge of the most powerful country on the planet.
You do when you have a massive victim complex.
You don’t get to, but you will anyways because you fucking suck.
Well, being in charge doesn’t mean you are aligned with the majority.
You make it sound like its gonna change somehow.
It’s not. Humans are the worst. Only option is to leave society.
Why are humans the worst? Most animals have hierarchy. It’s the most natural thing. Why are you trying to escape it?
Have you met humans?
Yeah. Are you suggesting that I should be instinctively repulsed by the nature of humans?
I am.
Well, considering I’m a human myself, and it’s not like humans were better at some point in time… I’ll pass

The fuck is a Brooks Brother store? Sounds like some WASP yuppie shit.
Oh buddy. It’s THE store for WASP yuppie shit.
