Don't think I've seen a bigger oxymoron before... The definition of punk is being anti-authoritarian.
It's in reference to the Dead Kennedys' song with that same title. There was a rise in far right "punk music" along with early skinhead (neo-nazi) movement when the song was written. Nazi punks were trying to flood the scene and people were not letting them.
"Nazi punks" beat the oxymoron by being anti-authoritarian, just depending on who's authority they reject.
I won't tolerate any boot on any neck (except if there's my foot in it)
Did you think this through? Seems pretty authoritarian to me (sounds like "nobody should rule but me")... maybe it's a quote so I don't get it.
I like this bettrr: Und weil der Mensch ein Mensch ist, drum hat er Stiefel im Gesicht nicht gern! Er will unter sich keinen Sklaven seh'n und über sich keinen Herr'n.
(And because a human is a human, he doesn't want a boot to the face! He wants no slaves under him, and no masters above!) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einheitsfrontlied
This wasn't supposed to be my opinion but a nazi punk slogan invented on the spot.
I liked the mental imagery of him attempting to put a boot to his own neck.
The Nazi punks are super into yoga
Nazis usually are into bs wellness shit tho
I mean, yoga being good for you isn't bs at all.
As much as any sane stretching is.
But imho a lot of New Age or mystical orientalist beliefs tend to gravitate around it.
And (still anecdotal evidence) people who are "super into yoga" tend to adhere more to said bs beliefs.
Yoga isn't just stretching; that's only like a third of it. A proper routine includes full body exercise, balance training, and stretching.
