    I’m sure you’re not wrong, but the song was written for concert goers, not fellow bands. Jello noticed some far right members of the audience and he was not having it.

    I can’t really think of any halfway successful right wing punk acts. I guess I wouldn’t trust GG Allin not to vote for Trump.

      All display right wing politics and achieved fame. The overall punk scene, yeah, is overwhelmingly leftist, which from my perspective is right and good, but we do need to be honest about the fact that Nazi punks both exist AND can fuck off

        Aside from smut peddlars, haven’t all of those mostly achieved fame first and then revealed to be right wingers? Not super familiar with the scene so I may be wrong.

          I guess you’re also a different person when you’re younger than 25 and playing in a punk band with no money, compared to a few years later when you cash in on old glory and gradually develop into more of an old fart with every passing day.

          You grow up and you calm down and workin’ for the clampdown.
