What sxe means to me is way more than that: it’s about (re)gaining control over your life, helping others  (humans or animals) and act positive for your planet, culture, society or community. So I don’t see how you can help other people by promoting (and fighting for) hate, intolerance, racism, fascism, sexism or homophobia!! If you take a quick look to the following lyrics from Gather’s song “Total Liberation”, you’ll understand that straight edge rejects any form of discrimination!

For every life for liberation / we’re dedicated to bringing freedom for all enslaved / tear the blindfold from over your eyes / forget all that you thought you once knew / after 10, 000 years of telling lies / dedicated to spreading the truth / taking pride in this path that we tread / in defense of the earth / speaking out so the words of the voiceless can finally be heard / now’s the time to take action for freedom / and justice deserved / FIGHT FOR LIFE / take a stand / for truth and compassion / there’s no time to wait for change / show dedication / through your words and your actions / together we can end their suffering / TOTAL LIBERATION / smash hierarchy / don’t buy into authority / strive for sustainability / resources are running out / discontent because we’re not free / oppressors act out of greed / compassion and equality / are both necessary / reject the myths we were taught to believe / it’s time to deprogram ourselves / question stereotypes and traditions / follow no gods, no masters / look at the root of racism, sexism, speciesism / and you’ll see, it’s all been fabricated to keep us apart / BREAK DOWN / THE BARRIERS / THAT ENSLAVE US ALL

The hardcore and straight edge scenes are not, and never will be, about intorelance, hate, racism or fascism, so MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AND FIGHT NAZISM! Repost this, write stuff, comment, speak out and help us fight these fuckers that try to steal our positive movement! Don’t let the media think that we are a bunch of fucking nazis!

Stolen from HYE?: If you wish to learn more about what these people are pushing, check this NSFW article. It’s in German, and is littered with fourteens, eighty-eights and pro-Nazi comments. I strongly suggest you DO NOT view this at work. You may not be able to read the writing, but there are a few videos of “rallies” and “parades” that are enough to make my blood boil.
