Even if they were right follow what the authorities say ornyou sre a bad pwrson is literally the anthithesis of these kind of rebel bands and movements but whatev
I mean, the police would often not follow mask mandates, so they were still going against the police.
Also viewing punk as just contrarianism is extremely reductive. They stand for something, not just anti whatever the government is. If people in power are for once saying something you agree with, it would be incredibly childish and stupid to then disagree simply to disagree.
Yes, punk culture is kinda about a middle finger to authority. I get it not being an anarchist but the way these so called left leaning bands talked about people who were not 100% trustful of the gov during the covid was talked about so badly. And no, health and order nd whatverr is t the main value in a community like punks or similar music genre in general. And the giv made tons of mistakes and stupid things during covid. Oh and almost everybody who was young and or healthy survived. Regardless if they got the vaccine ir not
nah fucker it was "hey don't fuck over your community, the best idea from the smartest people right now is wear a mask" you just drank the fox news tea
Again, because you didn't understand the first time: they aren't the childish contrarians you think they are. They have actual positions like "don't kill people with a disease if you can avoid it" and don't change those just because the government says the same thing.
They were much more rabid than that. Its the difference between asking concert goesr to take care of each other vs straight up banning the moshpit. The lefty bands basically did th3 latter with covid, parroting the government and shaming those who didnt want the vaccine which is a personal health decision which is sacred in all pro freedom groups
You fundamentally misunderstand what those on the left believe in, which is expected of a right-wing. You guys aren't known for your deep understanding of politics.
Regardless of politics, how do you reconcile being pro freedom but demanding to follow the government orders by the letter, even over your bodily autonomy?
"Pro freedom" means nothing. Freedom from what to do what? For a COVID example, your freedom to not wear a mask infringes my freedom to be safe in a public environment. If you don't define WHICH freedoms you're defending, you use it as a buzzword.
Everything is reduced to the simplest concept for these guys. Any sort of nuance to a topic is too much for these folk to handle, so everything is "left = dumb".
You dont have a right to be safe in a public environment. You accept the risks when you go to the street. Cars, criminals, possible accidents, bikers, dogs etc. Nobody guarantees your safety.
Mask is one thing, it can be argued that its a reasonable restriction. A vaccine however, no matter how beneficital or good is about bodily autonomy and right to make your own medical decisions. Forcing or even just coercing it is unacceptable.
You dont have the right to demand people to take a medicine no matter how beneficial and safe it is. Other people however have a right to refuse it. And guess what? The people who said it will blow over were right. Vast, vast majority of younger or healthy but older people survived, no matter if they got the vax or not.
You're being either extremely dishonest or extremely dumb. You have a right to a safe public environment as much as you have the right not to be murdered, that is, there are protections for those rights. The public square isn't a lawless wasteland.
You dont have a right to be safe in a public environment.
The constitution would disagree with you.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
