• Straight Edge, and its more militant factions, have long preached violence against people that do not share our values, and are different from us (Firestorm). The Straight Edge has been adopted as part of neo-Nazi culture by some neo-Nazi factions, and Straight Edge people are often the first recruited because of perceived shared values (Kill your local drug dealer, for example). And The Militant Straight Edge has a strong draw for the ultra-patriotic, ultra-militaristic, ultra-masculine (all of whom will comment about how that could possibly be a bad thing).. ❌❌❌ As we see more and more the destructive effects that radicalized hatred is having on everyday people (hatred is not a mental illness), should we be responsible for limiting the radicalizing effects of The Straight Edge? Do we have any responsibility for de-radicalizing people that have been radicalized by The Straight Edge? ❌❌❌ I think that it's hard not to feel responsible given that isolating people drives them deeper into the online radicalization pipeline. If you're pushing militant Straight Edge in order to make yourself look cool or because you idolize old militant bands, you have to legitimately ask if it's worth it. ❌❌❌ If you oppose racism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and the xenophobic, ultranationalist ideologies of the far right, you are an EVERYDAY ANTI-FASCIST. -PopMob ❌❌❌ #sxeworldwide #StraightEdge #PunkRock #AntiFascist

  • I saw this posted on a sobriety account called @drop_the_bottle_ but I don't agree with it. Do you? ❌❌❌ I think it's actually the long term effects of sobriety that outweigh the long term effects of drinking. In the short term, sobriety can create new challenges in socializing, dating, meeting people, and bring treated respectfully by peers or strangers. In the short term, they've got us beat. But in the long term, that's where we shine! ❌❌❌ #StraightEdge #soberlife #sobriety #sxeworldwide
