The world has moved too far to the left, claims Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon | The forefather of punk slammed liberals for advocating mass immigration and destroying working-class values in favor of “fashionable elitism”
... Speaking to the German newspaper Die Welt, Lydon, also known by his former stage name Johnny Rotten, accused liberal elites of equating regulated migration with racism, explaining that people are afraid to speak out over fears of being called racist. ...
... The man who co-wrote Sex Pistols hit, ‘God Save The Queen,’ also reserved some criticism for the British monarchy, and in particular King Charles III who he described as “not the brightest on this planet”. “I’m afraid he’ll wreak havoc once he gets involved in world politics,” Lydon told the German newspaper, accusing the monarch of “desperately trying to curry favor with the Woken”. ...
... He has previously expressed his loathing of dogmas, insisting that human beings should think more for themselves and not be led by authority or social trends. ...
His wife got dementia and he nursed her to the end; shows he's got good character.
Seems he has pretty good political judgement, too.
I always like to point out this very easy and basic principle:
The very basic difference between liberal and conservative beliefs are respectively: big government vs small government.
To be “alt-left” is to want an all powerful dictatorial government. To be “alt-right” is to want anarchy.
The punk movement prides itself for its promotion of anarchy. The sex-pistols are the embodiment of alt-right conservatism and I love it. “Anarchy in the UK”
thank you. can I add that "conservative" is often conflated with "traditional" for the simple reason that traditional lifestyles tend to allow self-governance.
MAGA IS the essence of punk rock. Not that Rage With The Machine corporate shit.
What amazes me is that most of the anarchist punk / post punk icons of yesterday are now the same lib tweet suckers that we have today.
Except John Lydon… who was always written off and a slug but is indeed holding true to his integrity
When the "fuck society" people are saying "hold on, you've gone to far...", things are about to change.

...only the "masters"...
...howls...
...I went to see them in San Antonio in 1979 at a cowboy bar with chicken wire in front of the stage named "Randy's Rodeo"...
...they came on stage and started playing, needless to say the clientele did not appreciate the "concept" the band was putting forth and began throwing Lone Star bottles and epithets...
...the band stopped playing and John Lydon screamed at the crowd, "fuck you all you bunch of faggot cock suckers" and walked off the stage...
...end of concert....
...the best 6 bucks I ever spent in my life...
Kek! That's a great story fren, thankQ. Would have loved to see them live. He's a proper character, have a big respect for him. https://youtu.be/Vq7JSic1DtM
...those were the days my friend....
Am a bit behind you. Remember the film Suburbia? That's how I saw the US when I was a teenager in the UK, that and Iistening to the Dead Kennedies kek.
Cheers o7
...Penelope Spheeris was a delightful director...
...she directed "Wayne's World" and was nominated for a Grammy for the "Bohemian Rhapsody" video from that movie...
..."The Decline of Western Civilization" is worth the watch...
Just avoid Part 2 of the latter. That movie made me want to cut my hair off and toss all of my metal albums in the trash back then kek
Then again, maybe I should give it another watch after all of these years and have a good laugh...

Dang, you were there?
Lydon is a treasure. Sure he’s a tad short fused but he has a heart of gold and deep down integrity. I’ve read both of his autobiographies and they show what a true free thinker he is.
His most recent book, as in 2013-recent or so, had become one of my favorite books, that I can go back to over and over again. His 1994 book is quite good as well. A person could enjoy these books without even necessarily knowing any of his music, in fact, he has plenty of other things to talk about! A new documentary has hit youtube (with ads) and is very,very good. Sadly, he recently lost his wife Nora after caring for her the last 6-7 years
It's not "the world" that's gone to the left, Johnny. It's the Elite Illuminati who've taken charge of it.
Plain speak:
When you're young and you don't own anything, the party of free shit looks enticing.
When you grow up and have something to lose, your politics miraculously change.
[they] want society to collapse & problems to arise, so that [they] can come along & present to us all the great solution... world totalitarian socialist government, where all faiths are replaced with the idea of a perfected God-man (religion of man)
[they] entice young & dumb people with "free" stuff, because they know human psychology... life is hard & people are scared. they want someone or something to do all the work for them & tell them its ok to be scared, just do what we say.
sounds like any typical Communist-style cult to me... world religion, world militaries, colleges of brainwash, the Masonic lodge, etc.
Jesus Christ is our only way out of this hellhole.
