Stay positive. Most people want to be good.

I’m a 49 year old punk geezer, and I’ve had despair about people being sheep from day one. It’s gotten worse, if anything.

Ethan Kropp You might like the band “ proud city fathers “..been going years, supported “conflict “ on several gigs in the early 80’s and have been going on since then. They used to be called the NC’s, an enigmatic name which stands for “National Cunts” a piss take of the National Front who were a real big political force in their day. I played bass with them during those days and don’t see the guys these days although I’ve seen them at their invite a few times live. In their element on stage, you’ll find them on you tube. Worth a listen.

What about the Supreme Being? The origin of all origins? The cause of all causes? Of course there is an authority beyond the self.

@@bighill8272 No Gods, No Masters. Believe in fairy tales if you like of course...but maybe get out of your own way?

Poison girls as well.

What about oi poloi and the Bus Station loonies too? First I got penis envy then found others, rudimentary peni are great too!

Well, Penny has read a lot from anarchists, taoists, peace-loving people and I guess some other philosophy. However, it served him well and it’s a delight what he shares with us.

Realist.

He’s perpetually locked in little boyhood.

could you say how zen made you understand big A little A?

true dat..

The kids at a pub I frequent call me grpa & I fucking love it.......

We'll be much poorer when we lose any members of CRASS....

That's the spirit! Humor is everything.

That's why I prefer the advesary force in Tolkien's Legendarium, because for me they symbolizes the alienated, the dispossesed and the working class in broad strokes. There are even writers have written their own versions of the Tolkiens fantasy epic with a narrative that turns to the opposite, that Sauron was the good guy. One author that just wrote a more marxist variant of the lord of the rings, for which Sauron is the protagonist I think. The other was written by a feminist author that wanted to describe a tragic fantasy story, for which the good guys(which are the equivalent of Sauron's army) tragically loses the war against the divine status quo.

wow...cleaver

Lmao

Check out behind enemy lines, paragraf119, aus rotten, there are lots of bands I don’t even know of out there …

This is rge guy the phoneys copy

same now with me. strange i hadn't seen it before, crass are such a big influence on me. even more now.

it is weird that the snake doesn't cross through with a hard out line, took me a second to figure out what was wrong

can you suggest me one of his books to get started? much appreciated!

trop2010 i've got "last of the hippies" a great pocket size book! Quick and great read

Why not? Anything is possible. That is being a realist. Seeing that the impossible is possible.

There’s no way to live man just your way to live, man

Its not over till its over love.

punk

the music there is improvised

It’s beautiful

It was performed live as part of an art exhibition on 'the landscapes of the Somme'. Don't think it is available otherwise.

Damn. Thanks anyways mate.

If you can download and edit the video, you'd probably be able to cut the recordings out and convert them to MP3, or just convert the whole video to MP3 through an online converter and just listen to the beginning

It's lyrics to a Crass song you peasant

It's also not a "war". It's fighting the ideology of war. Jeez!

The lyric is Fight war, not wars.

Its fight war not wars lol

Yes Ba Ba !

@TTFPouyi “Normie” Ha!

they were just anti-consumerist, not that misanthropic. haven't you heard of anarchism?

Looking back on it now I've come to realise that it was precisely the misanthrophic aspect of Crass that appealed to me. I grew up in an ugly soul-destroying hick town surrounded by "the dumb, blind masses" - boring, obnoxious, ignorant stupid people who couldn't even imagine a life outside of their stagnant little pond. I also now live in the country as far away from the hoi polloi as possible and I don't make any apologies for it: the last time that rabble got into power we ended up with the Third Reich. Merry Crassmas!

@@solitarianihilista1454 Looking at that statement, it appears that you’re closer to the Third Reich yourself than you care to admit.

A lot of people grow more complacent in their old age.

“Liberals” are not leftists. Not trying to get into a KZfaq argument with you, but if actual leftists had the level of control you claim, the world would be very different.

@@cardigansarecool Leftist ideas dominate - as they have always done - by infiltration into the mainstream. Liberals, I am afraid, are leftist carriers - as are conservatives. This is modern politics. If you look at what we may call normie politics and culture, it's full of diversity, equality and inclusion along with a host of Epicurean ideas - whether or not they're compatible. What you want os a 'pure' form of leftism - which can never exist because humans won't tolerate the delusion of a 'pure form of socialism' any more than they'll tolerate a 'pure race'. All ideas are connected and or interconnected and it's silly to pretend otherwise. There's no left-right scale with the socialist being toe polar opposite of the Nazi. The left or 'the left' now dominates using any and every idea possible. Perhaos the right dominates and they do the compromise to the left thing? I suppose it depends on your view. This is what happens when you gain control in societies that need consent. Tories worked this out by the late 18th century - the 'intellectually superior' left still haven't even noticed the problems.

@TTFPouyi Who? Crass? Or are you talking about the left's social worker auxiliary brigade and the like ? There's a lot of book festival lefties , north London leftists, lentil left - plenty such tribes.

You are being sold lies to consolidate power for people that dont care about you but are using you. 'Leftism' is the boogeyman used to bootstrap you into their ideology to do so

fuck me

That's Penny reading the poetry of Wilfred Owen with musical accompaniment. Didn't you watch the video?

"The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity--even under the most difficult circumstance--to add a deeper meaning to his life. He may remain brave, dignified and unselfish. Or in the bitter fight for self-preservation he may forget his human dignity and become no more than animal. Here lies the chance for a man either to make use of or to forego the opportunities of attaining the moral values that a difficult situation might afford him. And this decides whether he is worthy of his sufferings or not." -Viktor Frankl, Mans Search for Meaning

Russ Hl sarcasm right? punk and crass in the same sentence haha

john shaftnasty wtf are you talking about?

crass is one of the biggest curses to punk music, its total crap.

i just see this type of "artsy" political shit as killing punk. these elitist types have their head so far up there ass they forgot how to rock n roll . Mostly upper middle class/rich kids who think they're going to change the world, and are smug about it. More then half my life ive dedicated to this culture, and all ive seen these types do is cause more segregation then the unity they preach. as special duties says, fight crass not punk.

yes thats very true, it was supposed to be about freedom of thought and expression. Typically though, at least with the super anarcho types, they are always the most controlling and decide who gets booked, etc. ive had many experiences with previous bands of mine dealing with these ego-maniacs. If your politics arent pure anarchist, or you see things from both sides (politically, socially, etc) you get chewed out, labeled and banned lol Anarchy is a joke and most if not all those who preach it wouldnt last a second in a government downfall. They cant farm, fight, or do anything constructive short of begging for change and refusing to shower. I went through that phase and quickly saw how hypocritical it was, it was like the jocks in high school, rediculous. Punk is way more then one ideology, and those who want to keep it a one track, smug mindset (crass types) are the ones who will never see change. I liked Crass back when i was ypung, but i was tired of being preached too, and the fact they never made more then a few actual songs, it was easy to turn off the hippy crap. uk82, oi, thats the voice of our class.

Hippie is still around and relevant, Rainbow gathering, burning man... Punk is stall, corporate and dead, Vans tour?! Wtf.

You ment "were" hippies. but no, not really...and who gives a fuck. fuck off!

shut up you tit

I've always wondered about it, what is a hippy? please define.

First reply

Tell that to the "slave" that tried to free themselves

I agree. Not everyone can live off grid and be unharrassed by the system. I think he's abit up his own arse.

Media slave

Problem with victimhood is that it creates its own oppressive states of psychological imprisonment. Living on your own and blah blah blah? Was my dad being harassed and ultimately killed by the fed in Waco with my brothers and sisters first being tortured and endlessly mistreated and lied to beyond the abuses people even care to recount white privilege. You really need to start recognizing class struggle and stop dividing things into race and gender because it perpetuates the very oppression you claim to hate.

Pete's Guitar Lessons TV that’s not what that means. Can you perhaps entertain another potential connotation or denotation that would have you arrive at a more sensible conclusion instead of assuming I’m essentially the dummy you wish me to be. That’s just asinine. This platform is infinitely more, though less and less thanks to the media I’m referring to and it’s entities, accessible to perspectives that aren’t limited to the mental plantation of the legacy media and the inherent racism and oppressive stipulative definitions words like racism and even white cull... it is a fine display of using the initial good intentions and recognition of good will against everyone. But yeah let’s just beg the question without any recognition of actual ratios and stats and anecdotes or false narratives and where actual violence outside potential which is the worst kind of evil one can exploit in the other: In the end, looking above, haha I don’t think you and I were in disagreement.

Pete's Guitar Lessons TV yeah I wasn’t talking to you sir. I was talking to the person repeating the common pseudo liberal narrative of victimhood stagnation

bIg HilL so what about the fucker. I don’t give a toss

why? what the hell do you mean by that..

@@Azafell What part don’t you understand? It’s all right here in this sharing in this video.

@@vslurk i think it comes out negative. i don't think he's lost at all, he's just very knowledgeable and talks about a variety of cloudy things which some may perceive as being "lost". maybe just an outstanding individual. crass were really something different and he was always the most outspoken of them.

its a little documentary on a legend of punk rock

It's called a different perspective. You should try to see things from another person's point of view.

A legend of punk rock? Seems like the guy doesn't gaf about music.
