been seeing the phrase "up the punx" around

where does it come from and what exactly does it mean?

As to where this phrase comes from, I’m not entirely sure. I can tell you there was a sharp decline in the use of the phrase in the 70s, followed by a sharp rise in the 80s, and a huge rise in the 90s (at least for the phrase ‘up the punks’ because google doesnt understand the word punx. Punx itself is just another way to say punks

As for what it means, well I’ve seen it used 2 different ways

‘Up the punx’ as in ‘raise’ the punk for ‘increase the degree of’ punk. Its both a compliment and a statement increasing the amount of ‘punk’ you have

‘Up the punx’ being used sarcastically as an insult to someone trying to hard or a poseur

If anyone else has info on this, I’d honestly love to know more about the history of the phrase

I don’t think Americans are ready for any form of revolution, or another way of life.

I’m 100% serious when I say that I don’t think people, more specifically the American people, are ready for a life that would benefit them more. I think collectively we’ve gotten used to the corruption to the point to where we don’t really care. We care enough to say “let’s have a conversation about..” and “XXX is an issue, and here is a solution. Let’s contact the people that represent us but don’t really care about our voices..” and that’s it. We are not ready for long term meaningful change.

Now, as far as I can tell? French people *are* ready for change. They want change and are absolutely demanding it. They are out in the streets and messing shit up. I’m not saying that there aren’t Americans out there that aren’t doing shit for long term meaningful change but I AM saying that as a collective we CAN do better.

Personally I think this current system can’t be saved. I think that the corruption of shareholders, CEOs, mega corps, politicians, etc are so bad that we really need to just take time and effort to step the fuck away from it. Enough is enough. We need to take our time and effort and put it into something that’s beneficial for EVERYONE taking part in it. We need to completely scrap most of our old ways of thinking because if we don’t we are literally DOOMED to keep doing things that keep us suffering. Hunger, poverty, inequality.

We have power. WE CAN CHANGE THINGS FOR US, FOR THE BETTER. we know what we need for our souls to feel satisfied. It’s possible to do things and we don’t need fucking permission.

Revolution can be as big or as small as we want it to be. Imagine if we achieved the most basic of things… we could have better public transport. We could have better and safer sidewalks, or sidewalks in general. We could make sure people are more prepared for emergencies or for life in general. We could make sure community members know how to get creative in how to repair items for short and long term.

Big or small it’s possible, but I really don’t think that Americans are able to do it.

THE NOIR-HOBIE INTERACTIONS THAT I MADE UP IN MY MIND ARE VERY REAL TO ME. SONY PLEASE PICK UP WHAT I’M PUTTING DOWN!!!

[that-punk-adam]

YES I believe wholeheartedly that women’s pants DESERVE pockets that can actually hold more then a grain of sand.

YES I will take time out of my day to add more fabric to the pocket so the thing will function.

YES I am a firm believer that companies are teaming together to hit people with the No Pocket to Forced To Carry a Bag (purse) pipeline

NO I will not be silent!

YES I am talking about my punk pants what about it
