Extra Safe Space #28

Extra Safe Space is a place for things you’ve never told anyone before. These will always be kept completely anonymous. To tell your secret, fill out this form (it doesn’t ask for or record any identifying info). That is the only criterion. Or read other people’s here as they come in.

I wanted to post this response to a comment thread on something Jello Biafra posted to instagram. His comments are all from maga trolls calling him a sellout. I’m scared to get targeted. I am afraid of most cis-straight-men. Here’s the comment: “To all the trolls here trying to gaslight real punks: this music was never for you. Jello Biafra hasn’t changed and neither have you. He is still on-message, and you were and still are the goons driving around with the KC lights in Night of the Living Rednecks. You were and still are the nazi punks he told to fuck off. It’s time to shut the hell up and do just that.” And here’s an impromptu add-on: “Let decent people have their grief and rage right now. And then brace yourselves because yes, the world is irrevocably changed now, but not only in the way you think. A lot of women are fucking pissed and we are not going to cooperate anymore. Fuck your Thanksgiving dinner, fuck buying anything for your materialist bullshit Christmas, fuck having sex with you, fucking dressing and talking in ways that keep you comfortable - and fuck your straight white male economy up the ass with a rusty hanger from a back alley abortion. I am not buying into this society anymore.” Did I go too far with that last bit? Am I too much?
