John Lydon: From Punk to Trump
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols/PIL) went from being a punk revolutionary supporting the left-wing working class and ObamaCare to a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and Brexit, often accompanied by anti-immigration rhetoric. This shift has shocked some fans and divided opinions. But how did we get here? In the end, this story isn’t about politics-it’s about the freedom to think for yourself. And that, perhaps, is the most punk thing of all.
"PUNK AINT NO RELIGIOUS CULT, PUNK MEANS THINKING FOR YOURSELF" if you know then congrats.
You'll be the first to go, you'll be the first to go, you'll be the first to go. UNLESS YOU THINK.
@jansendwan1221 Jello? Yeah, Jello's almost an enigma to me, he's a tough nut to Crack. Once I think I've figured him out he goes in another direction.
It’s a shame that guy turned out to be a democrat party fanboy.
A big part of Punk DID became a religious cult.
Thinking for yourself might get you cancelled..
lt might even get you labeled NAZI….
Real talk ^
his values didn't shift... politics did
Isn’t that the truth!
Spot on!
In America, the so called left wing party has moved so far to the right that George W and Cheney now support them.
These things happen, eventually they probably happen to everyone.
Yeah right to virtual fascism in America with Trump's policies of millions deported, concentration camps, political opponents shot and a coup and insurrection because he couldn't face the fact he lost. Politics has changed and Lydon has too. If you can't see that then you never listened to him in the '70s, 80s 90s and 00s. He's completely sold out and everyone knows it.
Respect Mr. Lydon...He called out Seville back in the 70s.
You mean Saville right?
Dreadful place. But I do like marmalade.

He didnt shift. Still anti censorship, anti establishment. Anti big pharma, pro worker.
Trump hates paying overtime. Showbiz Johnny hasn't lived hand to mouth for a long time, fella
@@VivaSepulchre tell me you've never ran a business without telling me you never ran a business nobody likes paying overtime especially if it's strictly for the fact that some bureaucrat decided to put in law that you must do ! Business owners will pay extra for higher production and efficiency or as a bonus for hazard pay doing extra dangerous tasks

@VivaSepulchre no tax on tips, or overtime.

Johnny's one of the real ones. I have nothing but respect for the man.

Get real.
As Lydon stands now, I have lost 110% of respect for the man.
I’m not a cry baby maga I don’t agree with him politically but I still respect his punk

Yeah, John's working class, but he's also anti-communist/socialist (have you heard him talk about the Clash?) He's supports the individual and the individuals rights not just against governments but against other people AND THEIR Groups.
Anyone with a basic moral compass who actually understands Marxism/socialism/communism should absolutely be against it. Marx's strawman of capitalism, his complete misunderstanding of human nature and creating a religion because of it (Marxism is a theology) has caused the death and suffering of over 100 million people and mass destruction of history, culture and progress in the 20th century alone. Communism can be great but we are the wrong species, for we are not ants. Listen to James Lindsay's talk at the European Parliament.
Then why would he be supporting Jews from Israel. Doesn't he know about the Bolshevik revolution.. who actually created communism.. and continues to push its agendas
Neither were the Clash. They signed to CBS. I'm not indier-than-thou, I'm fine with Buzzcocks or Ramones signing to a major, but presenting themselves as the Baader Meinhof Band and signing to Megagigantorecordcorp PLC was ubershameless.
Rotten is a weird ADHD guy whose only real agenda is to get noticed. It's not smart, it's not punk.

@@christineobrien7707 Although I upvoted your comment nonetheless, I feel that you omitted the word "merely" prior to "thought that he was arrogant & cocky" - I say this because John would be the VERY FIRST to acknowledge that he has always come across as arrogant & cocky, not to mention abrasive & disrespectful towards the disgustingly nefarious & corrupt 'establishment' of the UK!
However, he's both erudite & articulate & thus he can always back up his statements & claims with FACTS!!

Waters was very careful. Only said things that were controversial but not enormously extreme. A carefully crafted persona. There are issues with Islam. You have to address them sensibly without dipping into lunacy, and Waters presented those without going too far.
Then I saw her with some of her associates. If you get too close to shit, you'll get it all over you. Fair to say my opinion of her changed there and then. I expect Moz would've done an about-turn as well.

Punk became a conformity cult.
It became part of the establishment, which is now entirely left wing-slanted.
All the punks have been deathly silent these last 4 years unless it's attacking Trump. I suspect Jello Biafra is a Trump voter, I don't know.
The Democrats and the Looney Left are the "cult" but you're too brainwashed to see it.
Your pfp is hilarious
Punk was always a performative cult. But lots of things, especially when they involve young people, are performative cults and it's not necessarily a bad thing

Indeed. I can relate as blue hair and tattoos have been what certain people might proclaim "appropriated" 😂
Meanwhile, Green Day and Dick Cheney endorse the same candidate in 2024.
John Lydon didn't move, the left moved far left and left him.
Nailed it.
You think that Liberals are the "far left"??..it's another establishment made up hoax..The real far left,it's for the decent,cultured working class people, for the class struggle..Not for the marginal groups "indentity rights",nor for the Lumpen proleteriat so called "sex workers" nor promoting degenerative, self destructive ideas and lifestyles.Which are all smokescreens for private enterprises and making money,therefore those are the Capitalists ideologies..Liberalism, woke etc..The real far left,doesn't even exist anymore

@@ryanmuir6338 And don't forget the Pfoo Pfizers...
That is beyond stupid and shows pure ignorance on your behalf. Conservative IS the establishment. Always has been. Always will be. Trump is a billionaire oligarch. He only serves himself and the Billionaire class. His campaign is funded by them. His policies screw working people and poison our environment. He IS the machine! And you don't understand why we call you people cult members?! You are not living in reality!
John is an extremely intelligent man and knows right from wrong.
I used to think he was a bit of a nob and an idiot (I was 16/7 when they reformed for their 20th anniversary).
Now I realise he's not an idiot, he's The Fool, the archetypal court jester who keeps people honest. When things start going tits up, always watch The Fool.
Anyone who thinks this should be sectioned 😂
He is a man true to himself. He can empathize with the common working man.
Good man standing up for free speech , democracy and therefore opposing some repression. !!!
I didn't leave the Left, it left me a decade or 2 ago, and the divide just keeps growing, but I'm still more or less where I was 20 years ago. I'm conservative on some social issues, but very much "liberal" (oh, how they've destroyed that word) on others. I despise all forms of radical Socialism, which includes Nazism, Fascism, and Communism. Whatever they're calling it, they are the source for the growing social division in todays, 2024, society across the West. I suspect Mr. Lydon may have a similar view.
Phenomenal comment there, 'trelard'...I'm now 50 & I always considered myself to be socially liberal ('straight' but über-pro-gay from my early teens, etc...but never much of a 'tree hugger', I must confess, as I care too much about one's aesthetics to be aligned with hippies & what-not...& the leftist radicals - eg Just Stop Oil - are just getting fatter, uglier & even less unique/more ubiquitous, as each decade passes!) & rather fiscally conservative but as you've already stated. the word "liberal" has by now been completely & utterly destroyed by the TikTok masses & most über-leftist morons today...but the same goes for the word "progressive" in political terms, as they're actually almost entirely REgressive nowadays, sadly...how the worm has turned, eh?
"I didn't leave the Left, it left me"... half of me feels the same way... but there are a couple of points where I disagree with my former leftist self... e.g. immigration policy, and I don't believe in socialism any more...
@@fo76 Socialism isn't bad or evil in and of itself. It's the same thing with Democracy. Both are great ideas at a base level, but without oversight of checks and balances, both are very easily corrupted. That's how an ideology such as Democratic Socialism can come to be. It's all about how easily they can be swayed by radical extremism from all flavors of Socialism that I view as the main problem. There's also no path of redemption for radical Socialist movements. Once you're "cancelled" by the mob, the only way back in is to double down on the goodthink. It's all very 1984 like. The Establishment has changed, and I was against the former one in regards to power and control as much as the current Woke Establishment. At this point I refuse to view it as a battle between Left vs Right due to how both have been severely overused and with bastardized meanings, and instead see this current battle as simply between right vs wrong. One thing I am seeing that's extremely hopeful is Gen Z is becoming more attuned and influenced by Gen X culture, and where it could lead us. Gen X may have given birth to Millennials, a source for todays society giving rewards for mediocrity and bad behavior, but Gen X are also the "cool" grandparents to Gen Z. I had my doubts at first, but Gen Z is really stepping up against the rot that has set in, and I couldn't be happier to see it.

A true punk stands against those who give more to the rich while taking from the poor!
Many people saying being pro Trump is anti establishment... Failing to realize Trump IS the establishment.
Many people who voted for trump in 2016 have left the republican party since 2017(after they saw his true colors) or were always independent and not either left or right. Maybe pull your head out and consider that. I doubt he's pro trump today. Further, let's not pretend voting left is the answer at this point since they're all mostly in the pockets of the corporations too. Which is why democracy is an utter failure since politicians can easily be bought.
True! If he wasnt he would not even have become canditate! Its all theatre rigged drama for the masses! If Trump was such a anti-establishment "wild card" as he is made up to be the estabishment "system" would have destroyed his business and ruined him "legally" in no time
Yet the establishment has done everything to try and keep him out of office and even arrest him. If you were honest you'd regard that as pretty punk for a politician, but just keep living in your bubble thinking you don't now serve the establishment. Being rich and powerful doesn't necessarily make you part of the establishment either, in fact it often takes a rich and popular person to take down the establishment, because they have the most sway

What are the options other than Trump if people insist on allowing a system to rule them. Trump has to be the only way to go.
What makes you think that what Trump proposes is not a system to rule you?
To think that somehow you need to choose between one twat or another, to think to be woke (awake!) is a bad thing, to think Trump is a proper human being to give your support and to think he (Trump) cares for the working class, to think that you just let Piers Morgan lead you on with his pre cut answered line of questioning, oh Johnny, you are such a let down.

John remains true to himself, brutally honest, sharply inciteful , and incredibly generous. His anti establishment message is even more pertinent now, than it was in the 70s. Gotta love him, hes a treasure.
We didn't change. Political establishment changed clothes. Unions are backing Trump too.
Wrong. Most Unions have endorsed Harris. Trump is a scab! Look who is funding his campaign.
This is a video about a punk rocker doing what he did in the seventies, namely seeking out controversy.
In 2024 he looks like a caricature of himself. 💰💰🏴☠🥸
I can't believe a rebellious person criticizes everything/one... 🎸
Sometimes, we tend to be surprised when Celebrities talk about politics, and I'm glad he voted for Trump. Then, I hope he's happy for Trump win.
John Lydon does not speak on our behalf.
I find Lydon increasingly annoying and is so called intelligence vastly overrated.
Top Man Johnny🥰
HE WAS NEVER A FAR LEFTIST. was not AS socially conservative or as conservatively dressed back in the day, but was never a "leftist". the definition has bee moved around and pushed away from what it once was and now, people who used to be centrist are considered right wing. its ridiculous
So Reaganism on steroids is now a punk ethos? 😂
Traitor of punk scene
