    I’ll grant that it’s contrarianism for its own sake. But I would disagree with the comparison.

    The core value of expressing myself how I choose is being upheld by my (albeit asinine) contrarianism.

    The core values of Punks on the other hand can not be boiled down to simple contrarianism or an “anti-mainstream” ideology. And frankly the “anti-woke” Conservative movement is damn near the polar opposite of Punk values. So co-opting the term “Punk” just to make Conservatism sound rebellious/edgy/cool undermines the point of both world views.

    Also, being “anti-woke” sucks @$$, while not letting people tell me how to talk F*#ks hard.

    The reactions people on the internet have make me laugh.

    Used to be that swearing asserted my right to free self expression. But now I live in bizzaro world, where self-censoring is considered “uncouth behavior”, so I occasionally enjoy censoring my swears just to reassert my right to free self expression.

    The fact the people get upset about it is kind of hilarious.
