How mean are you allowed to be? I haven't gone to many punk shows lately and youre about to hear kinda why, i say a pal who i wanted to catch up with and this dude who plays in 3 punk bands and is apparently an anarchist was talking about how he was taking computer stuff at community college and said his teacher had worked for both the cia and nsa. I replied 'so he's pure evil.' Not really expecting blowback, and got a what do you mean. If punks dont accept the nsa and cia as ontologically evil, fuck em
I'm curious how the rest of the conversation went after the "what do you mean?" question. Was it just a matter of ignorance (which is shocking enough itself for a supposed "anarchist") or did he actually try to argue that those who work for CIA/NSA aren't evil?
Wasnt time for a follow up. He should know better.
For me punk means anarchist, but I suppose that doesn't automatically mean left.
