How is Jesus shit the counterculture? :D

It's hilarious you see a happy couple with a child and immediately assume it's "Jesus shit".

I don't know if you've noticed, but the mainstream culture is SJW wokism. You've got gay pride floats with freaks on them having sex in public sponsored by Monsanto and Citibank. Reddit is run by purple haired NEETs. They present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

Meanwhile, any woman who says things like, "I want a husband and children" is an enemy of the culture. Her children should be secretly educated by the government to hate her and feel shame about their own kind. Any parent who objects is a domestic terrorist.

Yeah, that's pretty counter-culture. And unlike the anarchy guy, there's no organized movement to eliminate him.

Definitely mainstream, but not in the sense of what normal people think. This kind of stuff is tolerated largely because it doesn't really affect most people. It's when hits closer to home (either personally or through children being diddled) the normal people, dragged along by the woke cultists, will bale out.

Same guy in both pictures.

The guy in the first picture is 65 by now. If he didn't die of an overdose or AIDS in the 80s.

Nope. Same guy.

He's an old school playa.

Punk was mostly controlled op, only few notable exceptions to this would be Sex Pistols and Joy Division, the only ones who are wildly popular yet you DON'T see them when you google "punk bands", and The Misfits, who are not political band.

Yeah, and punk as we see it today is heavily infected with the idea that to be punk you must be left-wing - even if the establishment is itself left-wing. That's why Johnny Rotten's support for Trump was decried as a spectacular betrayal. We're left with a bizarre situation, rebellion and individuality being expressed by siding with governments and corporations.
