But then how will people immediately know if they're cool or not???
As a tangent this is what has always irritated me with movements like the pro- legalization of weed.
I work 9-5 make good money and have 3 kids. I'm north of 40. I am not the same as the Billy bong pothead everyone sees at every rally because people like me stay the fuck away.
There are many of us that do not want to announce ourselves that are in the system actively working to change it for the better of everyone. Tattoos and a torn jacket do not make a punk.
Billy bong pothead is probably also working full time and just as likely to have kids as anyone.
What's the problem that you're getting at? People dressing different? Expression of counter culture?
I think he is referring to himself of a "higher class" than billy bong, whatever that means (and it might be true if we are talking economic class)
And ? Why the hate on billy bong pothead?
So you're annoyed with the pro legalization movement because ... You didn't partake...? Or is it because you ... Don't announce your beliefs...? Because people are different from you but believe in the same thing... ? Sibling in this universe what are you talking about.
Exactly, people can see me and have no idea that I’m an anarchist. Like, mad respect to those who have political tattoos, my wife has a subtle one even, but I don’t even have any non political ones. It makes people not notice that the things I’m saying are anarchy.
I noticed that you're an anarchist straight away and I can't even see your lack of tattoos. Don't think the plan is working for you, sorry :/
It was the bicycles wasn’t it? People can always tell my anarchism from my love of bicycling
Damn those cyclists and their disregard for the auto-cracy!!
Look at them! They’re just recycling parts and repairing their vehicles with no regard for the economy!
Maybe if people like you had some balls and weren't judgmental and disparaging to the people out there fighting for change and visibility you'd have some more movement on legalization. Jeez man your comment is kinda fucked.
