  • The hardline philosophy forbids its adherents from smoking or chewing any form of tobacco, drinking alcoholic beverages, and using illicit drugs or modern medicines. Hardliners (as they were called) were expected to follow a strict dietary regimen based on the above-mentioned pillars of respect for innocent life and the natural order. Hardliners ate only foods that were vegan and relatively natural (e.g. brown rice over white, evaporated cane juice over white sugar, organic produce over conventional, natural oils over hydrogenated). Human rights issues were also factored into the movement's food politics, and followers were urged to shun third-world cash crops such as coffee, chocolate, sugar, and most tropical fruits. Hardliners included caffeine in their stance on mind-altering drugs so the first two items were generally abstained from, but consumption of the last two (and especially the final) was often given more leeway. In keeping with its Abrahamic view of the natural order, the sexual politics of the hardline movement were very conservative. Sex was not allowed except for the reason of procreation, homosexuality was seen as anathema, pornography was abjured, artificial contraception was avoided, and abortion was militantly opposed. Although the official hardline stance on sex was that its natural purpose was purely procreative, many hardliners justified recreational sex within the context of committed relationships as potentially procreative by opting not to use artificial contraceptives. Hardline was always highly syncretic (over time absorbing influences from Islam and a host of other schools of thought), and initially attempted to give its obviously Biblical/Islamic sexual morals added credibility by claiming a Taoist foundation for them. This appeal to the orientation of the punk and hardcore scenes met with little success, and the topics of abortion and homosexuality were always sources of tension between hardliners and their subcultural cousins.
