Maybe he’s right.
Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years. That’s a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.
Green Day also didn’t encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the “patriot” MAGA idiots.
It’s a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.
Billie Joe Armstrong: Strong advocate for monogamy and heterosexual marriage.
Taylor Swift: Serial dater. Pegs exclusively.
Also Billie Joe: Openly bisexual since 1995. Love the one you’re with. That’s literally the only thing that matters.
Unless in a polycule… In that case I think it’s something like “do your best to make sure everyone is doing okay, feeling loved and supported and frequent check ins for consent are done.”
It’s too socially complicated for me but if you can make it work then what turns your crank ain’t none my bizznizz…
In this thread: People who are incapable of understanding the most transparently obvious satire ever written.
People have said so much insane shit over the years that it is genuinely becoming harder and harder to tell what is being said sarcastically and what is not
Yeah but this one was still super obvious. At least if you read the whole thing.
I have met people who do believe everything the meme said unironically, though. They’re rank authoritarians.
This is a laundry list of things that are just very obviously the opposite of punk, though. It’s like if you asked someone to define “anti-punk,” they’d rattle of something very similar to this. It’s also in “Microblog Memes,” a meme community. The things posted here are jokes, and as such its nature as a joke is reinforced by the context in which the text is presented. This is Media Literacy 101, stuff.
I mean it’s a dead giveaway at the first bullet, but I totally get the knee jerk reaction because there were people who said Green day had “lost their way”.
That said, always thought Green Day was everything wrong with punk because of how pop they were when they first started. To me they’re still pretty pop. They’re like the hot topic of punk.
Green Day is “mainstream punk.” Which is as damning a description of a punk band as you can probably get without calling them cryptofascist.
this is a parody account right…
right?
Who would say they want to uphold the patriarchy? That part would be covered by the “traditional family values” if they really supported the idea and they’d deny that there is a patriarchy (but only if asked about it, they wouldn’t bring it up unless it was a troll, and in that case I don’t think they’d start with a real complaint).
Who would say they want to uphold the patriarchy?
I wish I could be that naive. Come visit red city USA, some people say the most interesting things. And when you meet women who expect it… yeah. It is a thing.
Though in that case, wouldn’t it be a troll? Like I assume that those who do talk about it in a positive way are doing it specifically to piss off feminists. Or women who want to “virtue signal” to men.
It just seems like such a weird way to approach that in a positive sense.
I think the people here who cant see this is satire are aliens from another planet
