It's much like a parent telling their rebellious teenager:
"You think drugs and rock and roll are punk? What would be REALLY punk would be to eat vegetables and do your homework and go to Sunday School! That's how to REALLY break expectations!"
[[Straight edge]]
Right. Straight edge is about self-empowerment -- being that way not because of your parents, but because of self-determination.
It's not so much the message, as the messenger.
That's the Cunctator approach in a single sentence. Anything said by anyone with any positive reputation, or, God forbid, actual authority, is prima facia wrong, regardless of content. If it were said by someone else, it might not be, but if Jimbo says it, it is to be dismissed out of hand.
