There was a story a few years ago, where the co-creators of South Park "came out" as Republicans. Similarly, during the Trump year, it became fashionable to coin Trumpism the new Punk. "Punk-rock bands created their own independent labels and staged gigs in small clubs or church basements. Trump lacked support from Republican Party elites in the same way that punks lacked support from major labels and promoters."
Homeschoolers have been vilified for decades. However, the poles have shifted. Indeed, punk rockers have commented that it was the ESTABLISHMENT that pushed the covid shots, lockdowns, vaxx passports, and all that nonsense - and rockers like the third best musician in Nirvana were establishment Pied Pipers. Parenthetically, the death rate for people in bands with Dave Grohl is higher than that for people contracting covid. I'm just sayin'.
The Educational/Industrial Complex WANTS conformity, which includes bullying as socialization. HSing stands athwart that thrust. And my kids prefer punk to Flu Pfizers.
Maybe it's because I grew up in an era where rock musicians were the exact opposite. Back then, they were the anti-establishment: The rebels, the non-conformists, the voices of the people.
Younger people may not appreciate how it was in the 1960s and 1970s, when rock musicians were firmly entrenched in the counterculture.
What has changed?
In my opinion, most major rock acts today have sold their souls to corporate America and big government. Almost every major rock tour is underwritten by corporate sponsors who are themselves very much tied in to the establishment "Deep State". Ticket prices are outrageously espensive. You can't even get a tie-dyed t-shirt at a major rock show without paying $40-50.
Bruce Springsteen, to use one example, had an outlaw blue-collar image in the 1970s. He would often fight to keep his album prices and concert tickets down so that his working class fans could afford them. Today, he's buying horse farms for his kids and charging as much as possible for everything from merchandise, concert tickets, etc.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. However, it does explain why Springsteen is now a mouthpiece for the establishment and could not care less about the plight of the working classes he got rich singing about.
Sorry, went a little off track there from what you were talking about with our society metastazing into a totalitarian social credit system - which is a valid concern.
It also explains why entertainers are now toeing the establishment line. They do not want to upset the applecart that has been so good for them. So they will be good little doobies and happily be paid Pied Pipers for the establishment.
