From the Department of Rants and Rambles: I’m hard-pressed to think of a more laughably insufferable variety of self-righteous, ineffectual and just downright annoying aspiring fascists than your garden variety straight-edge poseur. Straight-edge kids have long been the Jehovah’s Witnesses of punk rock — uninvited, they preach their manifesto of sexless sobriety to people who COULDN'T. CARE. LESS. And, in rare cases, if an overzealous sXe cultist senses that you aren't annoyed enough by just hearing his or her proselytizing, they'll take it a step further and rough you up a bit to make sure you understand EXACTLY how living drug free makes you a better person.
