    …Does he think that the Alt-Right is the Resistance? They’re definitely the system, they’re the exact opposite of Punk Rock

      There’s nothing “alt” about the party that controls all three branches of the federal government. They’re just the right.

        The “alt” was a misnomer, to attract young adults that still haven’t forgotten the will to censorship of conservatives, so alt-right influencers made it seem like the left were the real censors, because a video game feminist said “maybe we should write better female characters”, and a shitty atheist scientist “destroyed her with facts and logic” (yes, that’s where the right appropriated that phrase).

      Yes, and if you pop into conservative spaces for a lurk, you will unironically see them saying they’re the real inheritors of punk rock.

      This is what happens when basic political science isn’t taught, guys like Elon have no idea that socialism (the left) is fundamentally about expanding democracy to our economic systems.
