I basically just skimmed most of it. Interesting read. Some minor quibbles, one major one with a point of hardcore history and it has either to do
with the author NOT having been fully into hardcore or her not having her own knowledge of hardcore history straight and taking it from one isolated
woman mentioning Earth Crisis in relation to a pro-life/anti-abortion view. Earth Crisis put out one song that mentioned defending fetuses as well as
animals in vivisection labs. They've been backpeddling from that song ever since. When they re-released their All Out War ep on Victory they included
a little essay explaining their views of abortion etc. It all came down to them saying they basically aren't strictly pro-life. It would've been
better for this author and the chick she talked to about that particular chapter of hardcore history had gotten their history straight and referred
instead to the explosion in radical politics in the hardcore scene of the 1990s originating with Vegan Reich and the emergence of the Hardline
Movement and that being the main proponents of a pro-life stance.
Without Vegan Reich, Raid, Statement and the Hardline Movement there would've been no Earth Crisis and the wave of vegan straight edge coupled with
radical politics in most other areas that followed.
